How much collagen a day?
What labels suggest, how to count grams per scoop, and how long a tub lasts.
Most collagen peptide powders suggest between 10 and 20 grams a day. There is no official daily amount for collagen, so the label of the powder you use is the place to start.
Count the grams, not the scoops
Scoop sizes differ between brands. Look at the grams per serving on the label and work out the price per gram. A cheap tub with small servings can cost more per gram than a bigger one.
How long a tub lasts
Divide the grams in the tub by the grams in one serving. That is the number of days a tub lasts at one scoop a day.
When to take it
Any time that suits you. Most people tie it to something they already do every day, like the first coffee. Doing it daily matters more than the hour.
Who should ask first
If you are pregnant, nursing, take medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor before you start any supplement.
