The ideal collagen dosage can vary depending on your goals, age, and the type of supplement you’re using. However, most studies suggest the following:
- 5 to 10 grams per day – for general skin, hair, and nail support.
- 10 to 15 grams per day – for joint health, recovery, or active lifestyles.
- 2.5 grams per day – for light support or maintenance (often in beauty powders).
Hydrolyzed collagen (collagen peptides) is the most common and easiest for the body to absorb. Always read the label, and for best results, take collagen consistently for at least 8–12 weeks.
