ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT COLLAGEN & COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENTS – ANSWERED

Are you considering adding collagen supplements to your skincare routine? Do you have a flood of questions about their effectiveness and how best to consume these supplements?

Fret not. We have a detailed guide to answer some of the top questions about collagen and collagen supplements. These answers will help you decide if you should start adding collagen supplements to your daily routine.

How Long Do Collagen Supplements Take to Work?

The time frame for results from consuming collagen supplements varies from person to person. Factors such as age, dosage, diet and lifestyle all operate symbiotically to produce different timelines for different people.

On average, though, studies have found that individuals typically see improvements after just four weeks and notable skin benefits at the 12 weeks mark. For better results, the science also points towards consistency as a marker for benefits. Taking your collagen supplements regularly has been proven to speed up the rate at which the benefits of collagen supplements emerge.

Is There An Optimal Time to Consume Collagen Supplements?

At this point in time, it is still undetermined if the time of consumption affects the efficacy of consumed collagen supplements. While there are claims indicating that the most effective time to take collagen supplements is before bed, there is no conclusive scientific evidence about this published.

In that regard, you can follow the product’s dosage instructions for optimal accuracy – and consume them whenever it best fits your daily routine. This ensures consistency and that you don’t miss out on your daily dose of supplement.

Can I Consume Collagen During Pregnancy?

For the most part, yes. The majority of the collagen supplements on the market are safe for consumption during pregnancy.

However, it is always recommended to check with your doctor to prevent any complications and optimally boost the effects of collagen consumption during pregnancy.

What is the Difference Between Hydrolysed Collagen and Collagen Peptides?

Apart from their labels, there is no practical difference between the two – in fact, hydrolysed collagen is just another name given for collagen peptides. In technical terms, collagen peptides are essentially short chains of amino acids derived from collagen via a process called enzymatic hydrolysis.

These peptides are bioactive, which means that they can also enter your bloodstream and be absorbed quickly within a short period of time.

Are All Collagen Supplements the Same?

The short answer is no. Not all collagen supplements are created equal nor supported by the same level of scientific substantiation. There are many types of collagen supplements from different sources – all in various forms.

Take our best selling collagen supplement, Hakubi Collagen Tablets, for instance. Probably one of the most recognised brands for collagen pills in Japan, these tablets contain 1,500mg of collagen, with an added boost of Royal Jelly and Hyaluronic Acid – ingredients rarely found present in other alternatives on the market.

Also available in liquid form for easy consumption, our Hakubi Collagen Drink is perfect for individuals who are not keen on tablets or struggle to swallow pills. Containing 10,000mg of hydrolysed collagen and even coix seed extract, vitamin B2 and B6, Hakubi Collagen Drink has garnered stellar reviews from all over the world.
