Collagen For Sleep

FAQs

1. What is Collagen?

   Collagen makes up about one-third of the protein in our body. It’s what keeps our skin supple, hair shiny, nails strong and joints moving freely. In fact, up to 75% of our skin is made up of collagen – it’s a major component of the integrity of the outer extracellular matrix (aka what gives you smooth, healthy and glowing skin).

   Collagen can also be found in bones, teeth, tendons, blood vessels, cartilage and even in our digestive tract. It’s a pretty amazing protein and essential to keeping us strong and healthy.

2. How does collagen affect sleep?

   Collagen contains amino acids like glycine, which has been shown to promote better sleep quality. Glycine can help to lower body temperature and calm the nervous system, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

3. Can taking collagen supplements improve my sleep?

   Some studies suggest that collagen supplements, particularly those high in glycine, can improve sleep quality. Users have reported better sleep patterns, falling asleep faster, and feeling more rested upon waking.

4. What type of collagen is best for sleep?

   Hydrolyzed collagen, as it is easier for the body to absorb and utilize. All of our products contain hydrolyzed collagen.

5. How many grams of collagen should I take?

   We recommend taking 10-15 grams of collagen per day for visible results. Up to 30 grams per day is advised for fast-tracked results.

   However, even 5 grams of collagen per day has been shown to produce beneficial results to an individual's overall health and wellbeing when taken over a sustained period.
