Collagen is the building block of your body. It acts as the glue that holds your cells together. Your body produces collagen naturally, but as you age that production slows. Pretty soon that degeneration exceeds the rate that your body can produce it! You need to supplement your body’s natural collagen production with ingestible collagen.

How much collagen should I take?

The answer depends on what you want to do! If you’re looking to improve your skin, hair, nails, and  joints, improve muscle retention and recovery, or just get more protein in your diet, you’ll need different levels of collagen.

For most people, 8-12 grams daily is enough to notice a difference in the appearance of hair, skin, and nails. For other purposes, you’ll need a little more.

According to a study of men with a muscle degenerative disease, 15 grams of collagen peptides is enough to strengthen muscle retention, and 30 grams is enough if you want some serious help!

What kind of collagen should I take?

Not all collagen supplements are created equal. Some collagen supplements contain less than 1 gram of collagen. That amount of collagen isn’t going to do anything for you! You need a collagen supplement that contains the right amount of hydrolyzed collagen peptides as well as other key ingredients that increase absorption.

Ideal Collagen contains 10 g per scoop, so if you need more than that try out two or three scoops! Ideal Collagen also contains four other key ingredients that make the collagen that more powerful: glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and enzymes.

  • 10 g hydrolyzed collagen
  • Glucosamine sulfate is used to create hyaluronic acid, a key element for moisturizing and protecting the skin.
  • Chondroitin sulfate works with glucosamine to naturally support the production of hyaluronic acid to keep the joints and skin moist and healthy.
  • Hyaluronic acid is key in locking in skin hydration. It also helps to protect and support existing collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Enzyme blend of protease papain and bromelain helps improve absorption of the key ingredients in Ideal Collagen. It also helps to exfoliate the skin, works to flight inflammation, and supports the overall health of the skin, joints, hair, and nails.

Most other collagen supplements contain anywhere from one to 20 grams depending on the brand, but none of them contain the unique ingredients that Ideal Collagen contains!
