Collagen and Joint Pain in the Athlete

  1. If you’re taking collagen, you want to pair it with Vitamin C to help with absorption.
  2. Make sure you are taking that collagen 1 hour prior to exercise. This exercise should be something rehabing that joint.
  3. Take collagen in 5-15g doses.
  4. Take collagen for 3 months or longer.

Long-term use of collagen has not been found to be harmful, but it may be more beneficial to support the body with:
🥪 enough calories
🥩 protein
🥑 micronutrients
