Frequently Asked Questions

• How much collagen should I take in a day, and should I take it every day?
  The recommended dosage for Live Conscious® Collagen Peptides is 11-15 grams. A scoop is included in the bag to help you measure the desired amount. Most people will see the best results from daily supplementation, as consistency is key to achieving your health goals. The great thing is that you can mix it into all kinds of recipes without changing the flavor, so it is easy to incorporate into your everyday diet.
• The packaging says to take either 11 or 15 grams of Collagen Peptides. What is the best amount of Collagen Peptides to take?
  The best amount of Collagen Peptides to take depends on your preference and budget. Both the 11-gram and 15-gram serving sizes offer an effective dose. If you still want 41 servings of collagen in each bag, you can choose the 11-gram option, providing the same health benefits.
  
  Some individuals prefer the higher dosage of 15 grams, and it is perfectly safe and effective to take this amount daily for ongoing wellness support.
• Do I actually need additional collagen if my body makes it anyway?
  Collagen production in the body naturally starts to decline as we age, so it is a good idea to supplement with extra collagen to help maintain healthy joints, skin, hair, and nails.*
• What is the best type of collagen?
  That depends on what you are taking it for! It is good to get a variety as they all can have slightly different benefits. Out of the five most common types of collagen, type I and type III are especially good for maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails, supporting joint health, and benefiting the body’s overall cellular structure.*
• How soon will I notice a difference after I start taking Live Conscious® Collagen Peptides?
  This will depend on what you are using it for and the current state of your health. Many people start to see results within 30-90 days, sometimes sooner. As with most supplements, results are dependent on consistency.
• Can I mix this into hot or cold liquids? Does heat damage the collagen?
  Live Conscious® Collagen Peptides are formulated to mix easily into hot or cold beverages, and this amount of heat should not damage the collagen. Collagen proteins keep their integrity up to 400°, making them easy to bake with!
• Can someone on a vegan diet take collagen?
  There is no truly vegan collagen, as collagen supplements come from animal sources. Live Conscious® Collagen Peptides are sourced only from grass-fed, pasture-raised, Grade A bovine, and certified hormone-free and 100% non-GMO because we know grass-fed cows are happier and healthier.
• Are there side effects from taking collagen?
  As with anything, some people may experience mild digestive discomfort when trying new supplements, including collagen. If you are sensitive, you may want to try beginning with a smaller dose and gradually increasing to the suggested amount. That being said, collagen is generally well tolerated with few reported side effects.
