What is the collagen protein consumption recommendation?Updated 18 days ago
It can be beneficial to include functional collagen peptides as part of daily protein intake due to their bioactive properties and rich availability of conditionally indispensable amino acids. The recommended amount of collagen peptide intake may vary according to the specificity of the peptide (bioactive or non-bioactive) and the desired health benefit (e.g., skin and nail health, joint health, or muscle and bone health).
The adequate amounts of functional collagen peptides observed in the literature, linked below, suggest daily intakes of 2.5 to 15 g. These amounts are below the 36% proportion of collagen determined in the study as an adequate substitute in a high-quality protein diet. Functional collagen peptides may be incorporated into a nutrition routine while maintaining an indispensable amino acid balance with other sources of whole protein.
