FAQs
What does collagen do to your face?
Collagen provides structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, our body's natural production of collagen decreases, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. Taking collagen supplements may help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Do collagen powders actually work?
Studies suggest (1,6,7) that collagen supplements may help improve skin elasticity and hydration, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and support joint health. However, more research is needed to determine the full extent of the benefits and effectiveness of collagen supplements.
Is it OK to take collagen powder every day?
Most collagen supplements recommend taking them daily for best results. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and instructions on the product label and consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
What age should you start taking collagen?
There is no specific age to start taking collagen supplements, but many experts (5,6) suggest starting in your mid-20s to early 30s when the body's natural production of collagen starts to decline.
How long does it take for collagen powder to start working?
The time it takes for collagen powder to start working can vary depending on the individual and the specific product. Some people may notice improvements in skin elasticity and hydration within a few weeks, while it may take longer for others.
What should I mix my collagen powder with?
Collagen powder can be mixed with water, juice, or other liquids. It can also be added to smoothies, coffee, or even baked goods for a protein boost.
What is the best way to take your collagen powder?
The best way to take collagen powder depends on personal preference. It can be mixed with liquids or added to food. The key is to follow the recommended dosage and instructions on the product label.

It is generally recommended to take collagen supplements on an empty stomach for better absorption. However, taking it with food may help reduce the risk of digestive side effects for some individuals.
