Frequently Asked Questions
A collagen complex typically contains multiple collagen types — commonly Type I (skin, hair, nails), Type II (cartilage and joints), and Type III (connective tissue and gut lining). This multi-type approach addresses more of the body's collagen needs than single-source products.
Collagen peptides provide the amino acids — primarily glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — needed for your body to synthesise new collagen. Clinical studies show regular supplementation increases skin hydration, reduces wrinkle depth, and improves skin elasticity within 8–12 weeks.
Take them in the morning or with a meal. Pairing collagen with vitamin C significantly enhances collagen synthesis, as vitamin C is a required cofactor. If you're targeting joint recovery, taking it post-workout is also effective.
Type II collagen is well-researched for joint support. It provides the raw material for cartilage repair and has been shown to reduce joint pain and stiffness in both athletes and people with osteoarthritis when taken consistently over 3–6 months.
Check the product label for the specific source. Supplement Labs formulates with quality-tested ingredients — bovine collagen typically comes from cattle hides, while marine collagen is fish-derived. Both are effective; marine collagen has slightly higher bioavailability.
