Question 1

Why is collagen important?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body — especially type I — and is found throughout the body. As we age, natural collagen production declines, which can contribute to wrinkles, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Collagen contains a whopping 19 different amino acids. Amino acids are the “building blocks of proteins,” and collagen includes a mix of both nonessential (also called conditional) and essential types.

Question 2

What types of collagen are in Multi Collagen Protein?

Accepted Answer

Multi Collagen Protein contains a diverse blend of 10 different collagen types, sourced from multiple whole-food origins to support the body from head to toe. This multi-source approach provides a broader range of amino acids than single-source collagen products. The formula includes collagen types I, II, III, IV, V, VII,VIII, X, XII and XXIII from bovine (beef), chicken, fish and our clinically studied fermented eggshell membrane. Together, those collagen types build and support your joints, skin, hair, nails and digestive health.† They play a vital role in providing structural support to your whole body.

Question 3

How much collagen per day?

Accepted Answer

Most people take 1 scoop per day of Multi Collagen Protein as part of their daily routine. One scoop provides a meaningful amount of collagen peptides to support skin, hair, nails, joints and overall health. Depending on your goals — such as increased joint, skin or gut support, or higher protein needs — some people choose to take up to 3 scoops per day, either at once or split throughout the day. Of course, you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen.

Question 4

How long does collagen take to work? When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Collagen isn’t an instant fix — it works gradually, and the timeline depends on what benefits you’re looking for and how consistently you take it. On day one, you’ll start closing daily nutrient gaps with 18g of protein, 20g of collagen and 200% DV of Vitamin C (for a two scoop serving). As early as 30 days, you may reduce joint discomfort and stiffness. Consistent, daily use provides structural nutrients involved in joint comfort, flexibility and mobility† as well as improvements in skin elasticity and firmness around the crow’s feet area†, with benefits that may continue to build over time. After eight weeks, gut-resilient probiotics help promote a more favorable balance of bacteria within the gut†. After 12 weeks, daily, consistent use provides the structural building blocks and key nutrients involved in whole-body wellness, including support for hair, skin and nails plus improving hair and skin texture†. Consistency matters most. Taking collagen daily, along with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, gives your body the steady supply of amino acids it needs to support collagen-rich tissues over time.

Question 5

How to take collagen powder?

Question 7

How is Multi Collagen Protein made?

Accepted Answer

Multi Collagen Protein is made by carefully sourcing collagen from multiple whole-food sources, including beef, chicken, fish, and fermented eggshell membrane. These sources are selected to naturally provide a wide spectrum of collagen types found in the human body. Our collagen powder is sourced from non-GMO, cage-free, pasture-raised and grass-fed sources. Our hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides are pasture-raised and grass-fed in South America. The hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides come from sustainably wild-caught haddock, cod and pollock, harvested from North American waters. The proprietary, clinically studied fermented eggshell membrane collagen is sourced from chicken eggshells from USDA-regulated egg breaking facilities within the United States. Our sustainably sourced chicken bone broth protein concentrate also comes from non-GMO, U.S.-farmed chickens. (Please note that Multi Collagen Protein is also made in small batches using real food ingredients. Variation between batches is normal, including mixability, taste, odor and color.)

Question 8

Why is collagen hydrolyzed?

Accepted Answer

Multi Collagen Protein is hydrolyzed in order to break it down into smaller collagen peptides and thus make it easier for the body to digest, absorb and use efficiently. This gentle processing helps preserve the amino acid profile and bioactive properties of collagen, resulting in an easily mixable protein powder designed for daily use.

Question 9

Why is vitamin C included in Multi Collagen Protein?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin C is included in some collagen products because it acts as an effective antioxidant.

Question 10

Who is collagen recommended for?

Accepted Answer

Collagen supplements are commonly recommended for people looking to support skin, joints and overall healthy aging. They can be especially helpful for individuals who want to maintain skin elasticity and hydration, support hair and nail strength, or promote joint comfort and mobility as natural collagen production declines with age. Collagen supplements may also benefit active individuals and athletes who place higher demands on their joints, as well as assisting recovery from exercise. Additionally, individuals who don’t regularly consume collagen-rich foods—such as bone broth — may choose collagen supplements as a convenient way to help meet their body’s needs.

Question 11

How is Multi Collagen Protein manufactured to high quality standards?

Accepted Answer

Multi Collagen Protein is manufactured in USA-based facilities that undergo audits by third-party organizations to ensure compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cCGMP) standards — and tested for ingredient identification, purity, heavy metals and safety. In addition, our team regularly visits manufacturing partners facilities to ensure compliance with brand expectations and FDA regulations.

Question 12

Does collagen help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Although collagen is not intended for weight loss, adding it (with other proteins such as Multi Collagen Advanced Lean powder ) to coffee or smoothies may help curb hunger and support better appetite control throughout the day. If you’re looking to use collagen as a weight loss supplement, consider Multi Collagen Advanced Lean capsules .

Question 13

Is collagen safe to take daily?

Accepted Answer

Yes, collagen is generally safe to take daily for most people when used as directed. Collagen is a protein found in the body, and daily supplementation simply provides amino acids the body already uses to support skin, joints, hair and nails. As with any supplement, people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have allergies to specific collagen sources (such as fish or eggs), or have medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional before use. For most healthy adults, taking collagen daily as part of a balanced diet is considered safe and well tolerated.

Question 14

What’s the difference between Multi Collagen Protein and Multi Collagen Advanced?

Accepted Answer

Both Multi Collagen Protein and Multi Collagen Advanced offer 10 types of collagen from multiple sources, including our proprietary fermented eggshell membrane collagen. Both products support whole-body collagen benefits, like healthy skin, hair, nails, joints and digestive function. Both products also offer 100% DV of our gold-standard, lipid enhanced vitamin C, and also include 2 billion CFUs (at time of manufacture) of a resilient SBO probiotic strain called Bacillus coagulans . (Note: the Multi Collagen Capsules and Multi Collagen Advanced capsules do not include Vitamin C.) Multi Collagen Protein offers four sources of collagen (hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides, fermented eggshell membrane collagen, chicken bone broth protein concentrate, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides), while Multi Collagen Advanced offers ten sources of collagen (hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides, fermented eggshell membrane collagen, chicken bone broth protein concentrate, beef bone broth protein concentrate, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, grass fed bovine trachea cartilage extract, heart, liver, kidney, and stomach). Multi Collagen Protein comes in multiple flavors (unflavored, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry lemonade, cucumber lime, cold brew) while Multi Collagen Advanced was created for particular health goals, with each supplement featuring a specific superfood blend. They include Lean powder and capsules, Muscle capsules, Detox powder, Hydrate powder (two flavors) and Longevity capsules.

Question 15

What’s the difference between Multi Collagen Protein and Bone Broth Protein?

Accepted Answer

Bone Broth Protein features collagen from 1 or 2 sources (beef and/or chicken), depending on the formula. Chicken collagen provides collagen type 2, while beef collagen provides collagen types 1 and 3.Meanwhile, Multi Collagen Protein includes 10 types of collagen from 4 sources. Bone Broth Protein powder contains more protein per serving (15–20g vs 9g) and usually contains more Chicken Bone Broth Protein Concentrate, which means you will typically and inherently get more collagen type II, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine and chondroitin with Bone Broth Protein. But Multi Collagen Protein also contains the added benefits of clinically studied: fermented eggshell membrane collagen, Bacillus coagulans (2 billion CFU*) and vitamin C (from Lipid Metabolite Ascorbate). Multi Collagen Protein offers better mixability vs. Bone Broth Protein is a richer, broth-like supplement.

Question 16

What’s the difference between Multi Collagen Protein and the Collagen Peptides?

Accepted Answer

Multi Collagen Protein contains 10 types of collagen from 4 real food sources. It’s a premium blend enhanced with clinically studied Vitamin C and 2 billion CFUs* (*at time of manufacture) of probiotic strain Bacillus coagulans . Those ingredients provide antioxidant support and support for digestion. Collagen Peptides contains 9 types of collagen (I, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, X, XII and XXII) from 2 real food sources: hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen and fermented eggshell membrane. It offers convenient, easy-to-use support for your hair, skin, nails and joints.

Question 17

Is Multi Collagen Protein vegan/vegetarian?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is found only in animals, mostly in the flesh and connective tissue. There are no vegan collagen supplements (although there are vegan foods and products that can support your body’s production of collagen). As a result, Multi Collagen Protein comes from animal sources, so it is not vegan or vegetarian.

Question 18
