Collagen Powder FAQ

Q: What are Collagen Powders, and what can they do for you?

Collagen powders introduce fragments of collagen into the body to stimulate collagen production in order to replenish falling levels as we age. There are many types of collagen in the body with the most abundant being Types I and III. These types of collagen are essential for skin flexibility, healthy joints, strong hair and nails and so much more.

Marine collagen is proven to absorb into the body 1.5 times faster than bovine collagen for faster and better results. A quality collagen powder should contain a powerful scoop of 8 grams of completely pure collagen, without any additional ingredients. If you are looking to boost declining collagen levels to reclaim your health and youthfulness, then a collagen powder is definitely for you.

Q: Do all Collagen Powders work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of collagen.

Q: What should I look for?

• It must contain at least 8 grams of collagen per serving.
• It must contain marine collagen as it is absorbed 1.5x faster than bovine collagen.
• It should be extracted from Wild Alaskan Pollock for maximum health benefits.
• It must contain hydrolyzed collagen for increased absorption.
• It must have no fillers, binders or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between collagen powders and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition, take medications on a regular basis or if you are pregnant or nursing.

Q: How do I take Collagen Powders?

You should follow the manufacturer's suggested directions. As with any type of health product, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others don’t lose as much or as fast. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame.

Q: How much do Collagen Powders cost?

The cost of collagen powder varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the current health trends. Some of these companies sell their products for as much as $100 per container, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good powders we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
