Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT OUR COLLAGEN

What is collagen?

Collagen is a structural protein that makes up much of the body's "architecture."

It is an essential component of skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails, and more.

With age, natural collagen production decreases, resulting in thinner skin, weakened hair, and brittle nails.

Regular collagen consumption helps restore its levels and slow down skin aging.

How does collagen work?

By taking collagen supplements, you provide amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and molecules that your body uses to stimulate natural collagen production.

What does hydrolyzed collagen mean?

Hydrolysis is the process by which collagen is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier to absorb and eliminating taste and smell.

What accelerates collagen loss?

Factors such as age, high sugar intake, stress, sun exposure, pollution, or lack of sleep accelerate its degradation and premature aging.

HOW TO TAKE IT

Can I combine two types of collagen?

Yes, it is possible to combine different collagen products as long as the recommended daily doses of each one are respected and the established maximum safety levels for vitamins and minerals are not exceeded.

In general, it is recommended to prioritize the most suitable product according to the main need and only consider combining them in cases where a specific reinforcement is sought. They can be taken on the same day, together or distributed throughout the day.

If I want to take MenoBalance but also have joint discomfort, what should I do?

MenoBalance is formulated to address needs associated with menopause and includes collagen and other ingredients that contribute to overall well-being. In many cases, it may be sufficient as a first option.

If more specific joint support is required, it can be combined with Joint Support Max, always respecting the recommended daily doses of each product.

If I want to take Joint Support Max but I am also in menopause, what should I do?

Joint Support Max is specifically designed for joint care. If you also want to address menopause-related needs, it can be combined with MenoBalance without issue, following the recommended daily doses for each product.

What's the best time of day to take collagen?

Our collagen supplements can be taken at any time of day.

They are designed to easily integrate into your routine and are optimally absorbed both morning and night, with or without food.

The most important thing is to be consistent and take it every day.

Note: Our liquid supplements contain B vitamins, which provide energy. If you are sensitive to this effect, it is best to take them in the morning.

What is the recommended daily dose?

Collagen is a protein, and under normal conditions of use, no specific upper intake levels have been established for the general population. However, products containing collagen often incorporate vitamins and minerals with maximum daily intake levels established by organizations such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Therefore, it is important to respect the recommended daily doses and avoid combining products that may lead to an excessive intake of certain micronutrients. In specific situations (pregnancy, lactation, or medical conditions), it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional.

Can I combine it with my usual vitamins?

Yes. It's designed to complement your routine. Check the vitamin levels in both products to avoid unnecessary double doses.

Can I take it if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this product.

Can I take it if I'm on medication?

If you are taking medication, consult your healthcare professional before including collagen.
