What's the best time of day to take collagen?Updated 22 days ago
This is a great question. There's certainly some conflicting advice out there about the best time to take collagen. The truth is, there isn't enough compelling research to confirm that one time is better than another, so we recommend taking it whenever suits you best.
Taking it in the morning on an empty stomach may aid absorption, since there's nothing in the small intestine competing with it, but as we said, we don't have enough evidence to be certain about that.
Some people prefer taking it at night, as the glycine content may encourage quicker sleep onset, so that could work well for you if you're looking to improve sleep quality.

Other people find having collagen with meals like soups, smoothies or yoghurt is a good way to boost their dietary protein and amino acid intake, and that works just as well.
So there you have it. We recommend having your collagen at a time that's most convenient and enjoyable for you.
We hope this helps.
