Collection: Collagen Supplements

Collagen supplements work by providing your body with amino acids that serve as building blocks for collagen synthesis. When you consume collagen peptides, they are broken down into individual amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline during digestion. These amino acids are then absorbed into your bloodstream and transported to tissues throughout your body. Your cells use these amino acids to produce new collagen fibers, supporting skin elasticity, joint health, bone strength, and muscle mass. The process also stimulates your body's natural collagen production through cellular signaling. Additionally, some collagen peptides may act as bioactive compounds that directly influence skin hydration, wound healing, and cartilage repair.

NYO3® collagen supplements are generally safe for most adults when used as directed. They are typically sourced from high-quality marine or bovine sources and undergo rigorous purification processes to remove contaminants. Most people experience no adverse effects, though some may have mild digestive symptoms like bloating or stomach upset when first starting supplementation. The supplements are not suitable for individuals with allergies to fish (marine collagen) or beef (bovine collagen). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. As with any supplement, it's important to follow recommended dosages and purchase from reputable manufacturers with third-party testing.

Collagen supplements have minimal known drug interactions and are generally safe to take with most medications. However, they may enhance the absorption of certain nutrients and could theoretically affect the timing or effectiveness of some medications if taken simultaneously. It's recommended to take collagen supplements at least 2 hours apart from medications, particularly antibiotics, as protein supplements can sometimes interfere with absorption. If you're taking blood thinners, diabetes medications, or have any chronic health conditions, consult your healthcare provider before starting collagen supplementation. Always inform your doctor about all supplements you're taking during medical consultations.

Take NYO3® collagen supplements on an empty stomach for optimal absorption, ideally 30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after eating. Mix powder forms thoroughly in cold or room temperature liquids, as heat can denature the collagen proteins. The typical dosage is 10-20 grams daily, but follow the specific instructions on your product label. For best results, take consistently at the same time each day - many people prefer morning consumption. You can mix collagen powder into water, smoothies, coffee, or other beverages. Capsule forms should be taken with water. Store supplements in a cool, dry place and use within the expiration date for maximum potency.
