Got Questions About Collagen? We’ve got answers! Print 18 LikeDislike By Further Food Collagen! It’s one of those health foods you’ve heard about in passing. Can you add it to your morning coffee? Will it help your hair? Bones? Is it just a trend? And the question that really matters: will it really improve my health? Look no further. You have collagen questions? We have answers.1. How absorbable is Further Food Collagen Peptides in my body? Further Food Collagen Peptides are short-chain amino acids and are highly bioavailable, meaning that the collagen is soon after consumption. This means collagen can begin restoring and repairing skin, bones, joints and ligaments immediately!2. How do I use it? How many scoops should I consume per day? Take one to two scoops one or two times per day. 3. Are there any side effects? No known side effects have been reported. We recommend not taking collagen on an empty stomach in order to prevent any intestinal discomfort that may occur during digestion of large amounts of pure protein.4. How long will it be before I see results, and how long will the results last? Collagen begins restoring and repairing skin, bones, joints, ligaments and your gut within a short amount of time. Clinical trials have shown visible improvements after four to eight weeks of supplementation. However, one should take collagen peptides indefinitely to combat aging because our body produces less and less collagen every year. Supplementing with Further Further Food Collagen Peptides is not a temporary fix, it’s a lifelong dedication to better health.5. I eat a lot of protein/meat. Do I still need to take it? Yes! Western diets are mainly composed of eating muscle-meat proteins instead of connective tissues proteins which are rich in collagen. Only collagen can repair our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, skin, hair, nails, teeth and bones.6. What does it taste like? Further Food Collagen Peptides is tasteless and odorless, so it can be added to any drink or food without changing the taste. You can mix it and use it in a variety of recipes, click hereBy Clicking the Link for collagen recipe ideas.7. What are the ingredients and how do I store it? Further Food Collagen Peptides is made with 100% hydrolyzed collagen peptides. It’s free from sugar, preservatives, artificial sweeteners or any added ingredients! Further Food Collagen Peptides should be stored at room temperature.8. Is Collagen the same as gelatin?No. Collagen and gelatin are both sourced from cartilage and have the same makeup of amino acids, but gelatin undergoes more extensive processing and which causes it to gel in liquids. Collagen can be mixed into any beverage or food without changing the texture, while Further Food Gelatin is useful for making gummies, jellos and puddings. 9. Can children use Further Food Collagen Peptides? Yes. Further Food Collagen Peptides is tasteless and odorless, which makes it great for picky eaters. Further Food Collagen Peptides is without any sugar or preservatives, so parents can boost a child’s nutrition without any harmful additives or ingredients.10. Can diabetics use Further Food Collagen Peptides? Absolutely! In fact, taking collagen is even more important for people with diabetes! Diabetics have high blood sugar levels which can cause breakdown of collagen through a process called glycation. This leads to faster aging and increases their need for collagen supplementation.Do you have more questions?

Tammy Demetro March 15, 2022 at 8:54 pmHi, thank you for all you do. I heard that collagen does not work because it cannot survive the gastric process? It was on an info video for a product called “Activatedyou” and a gastrologist said this. In addition I had stumbled upon this directly after purchasing Ancient Nutrition Collagen peptides and (don’t laugh) the vitamin shoppe Collagen peptides plus because the “assistant” said something about I needed 1,2 and 3 . I have no idea why I listened to her, it was super supplements (which I love but…not a Doctor) So now I am wondering, will it truly absorb and unsure if I should use what I have , if I should combine it and or chuck it and just buy it from you. I know you will say to see a Functional medicine Doctor and I will . It’s just…. goodness with everything I am treating…. Hope you can offer some insightful info. Please forgive long comment and questions, a bit overwhelmed. Reply ↓
Recipe Team April 1, 2022 at 11:52 amHi Tammy: Thanks for reaching out. While we aren’t familiar with the brands that you purchased, studies we’ve read as well as the hundreds of positive customer reviews we get on our collagen, show that collagen can get absorbed by our bodies and provide a variety of benefits.

Recipe Team July 26, 2021 at 7:51 amHi Robin: Thanks for the question. Collagen should not be the cause of your weight gain.

Maybe your weight gain is from muscle weight or it could possibly be water weight if you are drinking a lot more liquids. We hope that helps. Good luck! Reply ↓

Recipe Team February 11, 2021 at 5:14 amHi there. Thanks for reaching out. Collagen usually does not cause breakouts, in fact it often helps with acne. However, to be safe, it is a good idea to stop the collagen and perhaps retry again in a few weeks. Good luck. Reply ↓

Marilyn Bartlett December 12, 2020 at 5:52 pmSome collagen companies are making collagen with 5 types of collagen instead of two types. They claim collagen does not work if you don’t use all 5 types. Has your company thought of using all 5 types of collagen? Reply ↓
Recipe Team December 17, 2020 at 7:34 amHi Marilyn: Although we can’t speak for other brands, we have taken great care to ensure that our Collagen Peptides provide the highest quality, most effective collagen you can buy. Our expert-approved Collagen Peptides are specifically formulated with Type 1 and 3 Collagen because these two types of collagen work together to support healthy skin, hair, nails, bones, joints, and digestion. Equally importantly, our bovine collagen comes from the highest quality grass-fed, pasture raised cows from South America, meaning there are no hormones and no antibiotics in our products. When you’re taking a multi-collagen – that contains cows, chicken, fish, and more – it can’t be certified grass-fed and pasture-raised and thus could contain antibiotics and hormones. Furthermore, we use a single source of collagen to avoid potential allergies or sensitivities that some customers might experience after taking a multi-collagen product that could contain egg, shellfish, beef, chicken, fish, etc. You can learn more about our collagen here https://shop.furtherfood.com/products/collagen-peptides-powder Reply ↓

Recipe Team December 7, 2020 at 4:58 amHI Crystal. You can stop taking collagen without any negative effects.

Recipe Team September 16, 2020 at 5:27 pmHi Ana,Yes! Marine Collagen is great for hair and skin health. It is actually a bit more bioavailable than Bovine Collagen as well, which means it absorbs into our bodies a bit faster! Bovine Collagen is a byproduct of cows, so it doesn’t contain any actual meat in the product, but Marine Collagen is a great option.-Anna Reply ↓
Recipe Team September 10, 2020 at 10:19 amHi Sandra, while supplementing with collagen does help with hair growth and hair health, it won’t necessarily cause you to start sprouting hair from random places! Everyone’s bodies can react differently to supplements, so it’s always important to listen to your body and do what’s best for you. But, from personal experience of using the collagen for about a year, this has not been an issue for me. Reply ↓

Adriana August 25, 2020 at 4:33 amThank you for the opportunity to leave you a question. MIne is, “Can I take 30 grams of collagen all in one shot? Of must they be taken in smaller increments such as 10 grams at a time. To make the question simpler yet, Can I put 30 grams of collagen in my ONE cup of coffee? Or must I have 3 different cups of coffee and split up the collagen?” Thank you. Reply ↓
Recipe Team September 10, 2020 at 10:16 amHi Adriana, you could take all three scoops of collagen in one cup of coffee if you’d like. However, I’d just be mindful that it is a powder so adding that much could maybe change the texture of your coffee a little or make you very full. Whatever works best for you! Reply ↓

Recipe Team June 30, 2020 at 12:41 pmHi Allison: Thanks for the question! It is fine to take collagen with a flavor-we recommend that you check to make sure there aren’t any additional unwanted ingredients in your collagen though, such as sugars or other fillers. Have you tried our Chocolate or Vanilla collagen? They combine our high quality grass fed bovine collagen with natural chocolate or vanilla. They are delicious!

Joan Wilkinson June 15, 2020 at 12:42 pmI have tried twice to take collagens twice recently & a year ago. Each time I tried 2 different powder ones & each one made me gain weight. I do not est much & there is no reason for me to gain weight. Why is this when most people say they lose weight on it? Reply ↓
Recipe Team June 16, 2020 at 12:01 pmHi Joan: Thanks for the question. Collagen is a protein that has been found to be more filling than standard proteins. In fact, many people report that using collagen keeps them fuller longer, thereby helping in promoting weight loss.How are you using your collagen? Sometimes, people put collagen in smoothies or other recipes that unintentionally add calories, which could cause weight gain. Also, another question would be your dose-we recommend one to two scoops a day.

Sarah October 14, 2019 at 9:44 pmWhat happens when you stop taking collagen? Our body naturally produces collagen so ingesting it may be good while we’re on it, however won’t our body begin to produce less of it if it feels it’s already getting collagen from an outside source? Therefore, when we stop ingesting it, what happens? Reply ↓
Recipe Team October 17, 2019 at 11:47 amThanks for the question. Our body naturally stops decreasing its collagen production as we age-this happens whether we take collagen or not. However, supplementing with collagen can help us to replenish the amount of collagen that we lose. If we stop supplementing with collagen, our bodies start to show signs of aging more quickly. Thus, we recommend supplementing with collagen indefinitely. You can learn more here https://www.furtherfood.com/collagen/ Reply ↓

Recipe Team May 13, 2019 at 11:50 amHi Lina: Since our bodies continuously lose collagen as we age, we recommend taking collagen indefinitely to continue replenishing your lost collagen. You can learn more about collagen here https://www.furtherfood.com/collagen/ Reply ↓
Aneeka April 16, 2019 at 9:50 pmHi, my question is about collagen types. There are many articles advising to eat particular types of collagen for specific needs. However, i came across a study saying that it doesn’t metter that marine collagen contain mostly type 1, because when ingested, the collagen peptides stimulate the body’s production of all the Collagen types. So, your body will respond to the ingestion of peptides by producing all the Collagen types it needs. Would you agree with it? Thanks you. Reply ↓

Brigid Barber February 15, 2019 at 3:46 amI’m 80 years old. Following an accident last Summer (jumping from the promenade onto the beach) I suffered a broken leg, My recovery has been long but I’m almost fixed. Recently I started taking collagen, in the hope that it would help restore my core strength, which due to long period of inactivity is greatly diminished. For the same reason I’m thinking about joining Slimming World as I’ve gained a considerable amount of weight due to inactivity. My question is, Will the fact that I’m taking Collagen daily adversely affect the possible benefits of a slimming program? Does Collagen cause weight gain? Reply ↓

Jeannie January 19, 2019 at 9:14 amIf I stop taking collagen protein after taking it for three years, what are the side effects? Reply ↓
Recipe Team January 23, 2019 at 12:24 pmHi Jeannie: Thanks for the question. While there aren’t really any “side effects,”when you stop taking collagen protein, you won’t be replenishing the collagen that your body naturally loses over time. This means that you may see more wrinkles, have weaker hair and nails and even feel more joint pain. That’s why we recommend taking collagen indefinitely. Let us know if you have any more questions.

I’m starting to see the wrinkles on my face tightening. And the sagging in between my legs are tightening.

Diana October 15, 2018 at 12:41 pmCan you take the Collagen peptides instead of meat?I know it’s a crazy question but, can you just take collagen instead of eating meat? Reply ↓
Recipe Team October 17, 2018 at 3:34 amOne serving of collagen peptides contains 7 grams of protein and 18 amino acids, including 8 essential amino acids. Thus collagen can provide a source of protein in your diet. Whether you eat meat or not is a personal choice, but as long as you are getting enough protein from collagen, fish or plant based proteins such as beans and legumes, you do not need to eat meat.

Linah October 10, 2018 at 4:11 amIt is another brand. And im taking one scoop (which is 3 gms according to their recommended dose) daily with water on an empty stomach before breakfast. It is a hydrolyzed marine collagen powder. I was first taking it in pills form for a month (another brand) which was fish and hyaluronic acid, and I took two pills twice a day daily (so 4 pills in total) and then the next month I started using a powder from another brand. But throughout taking fish collagen in general from any brand im having those side effects. Reply ↓

Melissa July 31, 2018 at 9:23 amHi. I have been taking collagen peptide powder for 6 days now and the reason was to improve my skin and overall health such as hair and nails etc. I take vitamin D3, Omega 3-6-9 daily and I don’t eat sugar or refined carbs because I had hormonal acne. This daily routine improved my skin amazingly. But since I started with the collagen powder, I started breaking out again. Is this part of a detox or is it clashing with my other vitamins? Please help! Reply ↓
Recipe Team August 1, 2018 at 2:32 amHi Melissa: Typically collagen powder helps to reduce acne, not cause breakouts. However, everyone is different. We suggest you stop taking the collagen for a few days to see if there is any improvement. Then you can retry taking the collagen at a different time than the other vitamins. If you have any more issues, feel free to contact customer service at hello@furtherfood.com Reply ↓

Lauren Kermode July 21, 2018 at 4:31 amI took 2 Tablespoons of Bullet powdered collagen supplement once a day for 6 days then got hives. I’ve stopped for 2 days and the hives are going away slowly (with benadryl). I was beginning to experience a lessening of muscle pain on the supplement and don’t want to give up on the concept. I’m considering going back on it after the hives are gone completely. What’s the chance that the collagen caused the hives? Could it be just this brand that doesn’t agree with me? I contacted the company and they suggest I stop taking the supplement immediately which I had already done. I’ve been on Weight Watchers and eat a lot of fruit and eggs as well. I have no known allergies but I understand an overabundance of just about anything can cause a reaction.Can you help me with this? Reply ↓
Recipe Team July 23, 2018 at 10:08 amHi Lauren: You are certainly welcome to try our collagen-every collagen powder can be different. We have not heard of many people suffering hives after taking our collagen. Obviously if you experience any symptoms, you should stop immediately. Good luck. Reply ↓

As far as your other medications, it is best to check with your medical provider to see if they can impact collagen absorption. Good luck! Reply ↓

bruce Rogers May 28, 2018 at 4:09 amA friend of mine says only take two collagen tablets which would be 2 grams per day instead of 6 or more that are suggested by other websites depending on how much collagen you need. I have pretty good Vision even though I wear glasses but I can look at people and tell you which ones need more collagen than others do. I think he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I know you need to take collagen on an empty stomach because you want it absorb through the lining of your stomach into your bloodstream instead of going through your digestive tract. I am taking 6 grams of collagen a day and he says I’m crazy basically because the manufacturer just wants to sell more collagen. that is his theory. Taking two grams of collagen a day would be like treading water just to the point where your nose is above water where you can just breathe but yeah you’re living but barely. If my thinking is all wrong correct me but I seriously doubt that I’m wrong. Reply ↓
