How Much Collagen Should You Take A Day?
In fact, specific types of collagen work in different parts of the body. For instance, types I and III collagen make up 90% of your hair, skin and nails, supporting the strength of your hair and nails. Type I collagen is characterized by being extremely strong and able to stretch without breaking. Type III collagen is found alongside type I collagen in the skin and is important for the development of skin. Type II collagen supports the strength and elasticity of your joints and cartilage.
You might be unpleasantly surprised to learn that as early as your 20s, you start losing about one percent of collagen per year, causing skin to sag, wrinkle, and feel and look dry.3 The news is even worse for older women, who can lose as much as 30% of collagen production in the first five years of menopause.
While you should always look into healthy food sources first to get the nutrients you need, getting adequate collagen regularly through your diet might pose a challenge. Why? Because collagen food sources are somewhat limited. Collagen comes from the skin, bones, tendons, and ligaments of animals and fish—with the highest amounts often in animal parts not typically consumed in the Western diet (think ligaments, organ meats, and tendons). Since only a few animal foods naturally contain collagen, you’ll need to eat a variety of animal- and plant-based foods that support collagen production in the body, including foods high in protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper.
That’s why many people turn to supplements. But how much collagen should you take? Health experts have not yet offered any official guidance regarding a collagen daily dose recommendation. And how much collagen to take depends a lot on the supplement’s form, such as powder or gummy, and your reason for taking it based on the research that is out there.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Also known as collagen peptides, hydrolyzed collagen is commonly found in many collagen supplements and collagen-enriched foods, often in the form of powder or capsules. Why? Because the body absorbs this type more easily than others. Recent studies show the following results:
- Taking 2.5–15 grams of hydrolyzed collagen peptides daily could be effective and safe.
- Taking 2.5 grams may support skin hydration and elasticity and support joint health.
- Taking 5-15 grams per day may support bone and joint health.

How Much Collagen Is Too Much?
Collagen supplements are generally well tolerated and considered safe and have been used for up to 5 months in clinical studies. Despite what you may have heard, collagen does not cause you to gain weight, damage your kidneys, or any other adverse effects. Of course, this means sticking within the recommended dosages on the product packaging.
