Q: When should I use this product? 

You can use this product in the morning, afternoon, evening or right before bed. There is no specific time to take collagen, but you’ll maximize benefits by taking it consistently. Find a time that works best for you to take it regularly.

Q: How is this different from bone broth and Bone Broth Protein?

Bone Broth and Bone Broth Protein contain collagen from ONE source, either chicken or beef bone broth.

Multi Collagen Protein not only contains collagen type II from chicken bone broth, but also collagen types I, III, V and X from four other sources, totaling five types of collagen vs. one or two.

The original Bone Broth Protein powder contains more protein per serving (20g vs 9g) and contains more chicken bone broth collagen concentrate, which means you will inherently get more collagen type II, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin with Bone Broth Protein.

Q: Who is this product intended for?

People typically start naturally producing less collagen after the age of 30. This product is for anyone who is looking to naturally support their body, especially if you are looking for joint, skin, gut and nail support.

Q: Why should I be supplementing collagen? 

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Up to 30% of all the protein in your body is collagen protein. Up to 70% of skin, hair, nails and nearly 100% of connective tissues are made from collagen. It literally holds you together: from the hairs on your head, to every inch of your skin, to your joint comfort and mobility. It even impacts the overall health of your gut, including gut integrity.

There’s a reason that collagen supplementation, in addition to an overall healthy diet and lifestyle, is being dubbed as the new essential in the wellness and beauty community. Many people’s collagen is breaking down at an accelerated rate… and it’s not being replaced in the standard modern diet.

Q: Are there other factors that contribute to collagen loss? 

Age is not the only thing that can slow down production and diminish collagen in your body. If you’re worried about the breakdown of your own collagen, here are 10 lifestyle factors that are considered “collagen killers.”


•Poor sleep

•Too much sugar

•Injuries and joint issues

•High cortisol levels from stress

•Sun overexposure

•Diet low in antioxidants

•Sitting all day and lack of activity

•Poor gut health

•Nutrient shortfalls of vitamin C and zinc

•Free radicals

You can fight back against collagen loss through a few combined approaches:

•Limit your exposure to damaging UV rays and other environmental toxins

•Consume collagen-boosting foods

•Support and promote the skin’s health by supplementing with collagen
