ANSWERS TO THE INTERNET’S MOST-ASKED COLLAGEN QUESTIONS



06/18/2020

Collagen is a hot topic in the world of supplements and natural health. Our team
at LiveWell has reported that they get a lot of Facebook and Instagram questions
about our Collagen Peptides and that they’re often the same few questions. We
thought we’d share those questions and the answers here for your reference.


QUESTION: CAN I TAKE COLLAGEN MORE THAN 1 TIME A DAY?

Answer: Absolutely! Live Conscious Collagen Peptides are 11 grams of collagen
per serving, but you can have about 40 grams of collagen and still get benefits.
While the max amount of collagen per day that works for you will definitely vary
by your situation, you can have collagen with every meal and not need to worry
about any negative issues. 

To that end, here some great Conscious Collagen recipes for

Easy Smoothies

Smoothie Bowls On-the-Go

and even some special recipes for women's health. 


QUESTION: WHAT ARE SOME OTHER WAYS I CAN TAKE COLLAGEN BESIDES SMOOTHIES?

Answer: You can add collagen to just about anything! From baked goods to all
sorts of different drinks, taking collagen can be an adventure full of tasty
treats! Here are some of the many recipes you can try out today:

Brownies, Gummies, Chocolate Mousse, and Cake with Collagen

Detox Soup, Tea and Other Drinks with Collagen

Holiday-Themed Collagen Lattes & Desserts


QUESTION: DOES COLLAGEN CAUSE DIARRHEA? 

Answer: Collagen should not cause diarrhea if taken according to the directions.
If someone consumes more than the recommended serving, has a sensitivity, or if
they drink it with coffee, they may experience diarrhea. But, generally
speaking, this is not a side effect, and it’s nothing to be too concerned
about. 

If you’re brand new to collagen as a supplement and are still a little
concerned, you can ease into it to see how your body reacts. The suggested dose
for our Collagen Peptides is one scoop, or 11 grams, per day. Try taking half of
that your first day to make sure you don’t have any sensitivities. When you see
that your body responds well, you can gradually increase your consumption until
you reach the recommended dose.




QUESTION: DOES COLLAGEN MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT? 

Answer: No, collagen will not make you gain weight. In fact, collagen can help
you with your diet plan and goals. Collagen is filling, so it can help decrease
cravings, keep you fuller longer, and may increase your energy. It might be just
what you need to start and stick to your diet plan.


QUESTION: DOES COLLAGEN TASTE BAD? 

Answer: That depends. People report that some collagen does have an aftertaste
that’s not very pleasant. Luckily, Live Conscious Collagen Peptides have
virtually no flavor, so that’s not a worry.

If you want to make your collagen taste great or make it a little more exciting,
you can add it to smoothies, shakes, juices, yogurt, pudding, soups, and even
baked goods. It’s a versatile ingredient that easily mixes into your favorite
treats.

Try this Collagen Smoothie Recipe to see how great it can taste.

Ingredients

½ frozen banana

A handful of frozen mixed berries

A handful of spinach

1 tablespoon of nut butter (your choice)

¼ avocado

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 scoop Live Conscious Collagen Peptides

Your choice of milk, just enough to get the consistency you desire

Directions

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add ice if you want it colder, but the
frozen fruits should do the trick.




QUESTION: HOW LONG BEFORE COLLAGEN TAKES EFFECT? 

Answer: It depends on why you’re taking the collagen peptides, and the results
you’re looking for.

If you are taking your collagen supplement with vitamin C to help your body
synthesize and store it, you should see benefits to your hair, skin, and nails
within about 4 weeks, but it can take up to 12 weeks to really notice the
results. It should be noted that this is based on using collagen daily at 10 -12
grams per day. 

For joint and muscle pain relief, your collagen supplement may take longer than
three months to begin displaying a noticeable change, depending on the severity
of your issues. You may need to take it with a natural anti-inflammatory
supplement, such as curcumin or Live Conscious CurcuWell, for the best results.
Consistent and long-term use is the best way to achieve and maintain your
results.




QUESTION: CAN YOU TAKE COLLAGEN FOR HAIR ISSUES?  

Answer: Your body uses several amino acids to build keratin, some of which can
be found in collagen. When you consume collagen and other proteins, your body
breaks them down into amino acids that are then used to build new proteins and
compounds. Collagen can also act as an antioxidant and fight the free radicals
known to damage your hair follicles.  


QUESTION: WHY IS MY COLLAGEN CLUMPING WHEN I MIX IT INTO A HOT DRINK? 

Answer: At Live Conscious, we make a point of only sourcing the purest
ingredients from around the world, which can explain some issues with the
density variations in the product. It’s for this very reason that we sell our
products by weight and not volume. 

The most effective way to take collagen, when you’re adding it to a hot drink,
is to add the collagen directly into your hot beverage, mix it, and then let it
sit for a few minutes before adding anything else to your cup. This should help
the collagen fully dissolve and—Voila! No more clumps. 




WHY LIVE CONSCIOUS COLLAGEN PEPTIDES

There are a large number of different collagen supplements on the market, and
it’s not always easy to determine which ones are the best ones to use. That’s
why you can count on LiveWell to provide the most effective products. We are
committed to the following:

♦ Types I & III Grade A Bovine Collagen

♦ 98% All-Natural Hydrolyzed Protein

♦ Hormone-Free

♦ Unflavored & Low Sodium

♦ Dissolves Easily 

Our product is sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, and is certified
hormone-free and non-GMO. With a whopping 19 amino acids, you’re getting a great
product that is enzymatically formulated for bioavailability and absorption for
the best results.


WAKING UP TO WELLNESS

Collagen naturally makes up about a third of the protein in your body, making it
the most abundant protein by body mass. Unfortunately, as you age, your body
produces less natural collagen, and your skin becomes thinner and fragile. Not
only that, but collagen is found in other places in your body such as your
cartilage, bone marrow, lymphoid tissues, and in your hair and the surfaces of
cells. It’s pretty important to the way you look, feel, and overall health.

If you’re concerned about the effects of aging and what that loss of collagen
production can do, it’s natural to want to boost your supplies with a collagen
supplement or collagen peptides. Of course, when it comes time to change your
routine or add something new, there are likely to be a few questions involved.
We hope our answers to some of the most common collagen questions help you make
an informed decision and feel better about your choices regarding collagen.
