Episode notes
Take Collagen At Night To Support Sleep
- If sleep is an issue, try ~3 g glycine (≈2 tbsp collagen) before bed to improve sleep quality.
- Glycine lowers core temperature and promotes calmer sleep without being sedating.
Pick Low Molecular Weight Collagen
- Prefer hydrolyzed collagen peptides with low molecular weight (~2 kDa) for better absorption and signaling.
- Low molecular weight improves solubility, reduces GI issues, and appears in blood within an hour.
Dose And Time Expectations For Benefits
- Common doses are 5–10 g/day for maintenance and up to 20 g/day split for injury or bone goals.
- Expect skin results by ~8 weeks, joint improvements by 3–6 months, and bone changes over a year.
