How should this collagen be taken, and what is it best combined with? — Fish Collagen 10,000 in Powder, 300 g - Vitateka

The advantage of the powder form is that it does not require separate capsules or tablets: the daily portion — 2 measuring scoops (10,000 mg) — simply needs to be mixed with water or juice. The recommended daily amount should not be exceeded.

Collagen contains the amino acids glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which serve as building blocks for the body’s protein structures. For these amino acids to be used effectively, it is important that your diet as a whole contains enough protein and vitamin C — the latter is involved in collagen synthesis at the cellular level. Vitamin C can be obtained from ordinary foods (citrus fruit, bell peppers, leafy greens) or from a separate supplement.

Collagen is not a fast-acting product. It is usually included in the diet as a course: changes, if they occur, become noticeable after several weeks of regular use. The response depends on age, overall diet and the initial state of the body — it varies from person to person.

The product contains fish, so it is not taken if you are allergic to fish. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have a chronic condition or if you take medicines, you should consult a doctor before starting — the label generally advises consulting a doctor before use.
