Customer question:
"Which form of collagen is best as a dietary supplement? Do I prefer liquid collagen or powder?" Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Collagen powder is generally a great choice because it often contains fewer residual additives and more collagen. It also makes it easier to control how and what you use it. However, this certainly does not mean that collagen products in liquid form are harmful.
When choosing a liquid form of collagen, choose one with high-quality collagen peptides and a clean profile of excipients.
Customer Question: "Which collagen type is best for the skin?"
Pharmacist's response:
Type I collagen is generally considered the most suitable collagen for the skin. It is the most abundant type of collagen in the body. Type I collagen levels begin to decline around the age of 25.
If you want to take a collagen supplement, it is recommended to take hydrolyzed collagen. Hydrolyzed collagen means this sizeable organic molecule has been broken down into small peptides easily digested by the body.
Consuming collagen with extra vitamin C gives the body the best chance of entirely using the collagen it consumes. In addition, vitamin C optimizes the supplement's bioavailability because it is necessary for synthesizing collagen in the body.

Customer Question: "Which collagen type is best for joint problems?"
Pharmacist's response:
Cartilage mainly comprises type II collagen, which strengthens it to support joints. Therefore, adding type II collagen to the diet is recommended to help with joint problems. Collagen, found in the cartilage between the joints, provides a "natural cushion" between the bones.
