💡 First things first: consistency > perfection
Collagen isn’t a “take it once and wake up glowing” kind of thing.
Your body needs time to rebuild new collagen, so what matters most is doing it daily (or almost daily).
Think of it like watering a plant 🌱 The results come from steady care, not one big pour.
☕ When should you take it?
Good news: there’s no bad time to take collagen.
Morning, midday, or night, your body will still use those peptides.
BUT… if you’re taking it to help your joints or muscles, studies suggest taking it about an hour before exercise might give your body a head start on repair.
(That’s when collagen and vitamin C together seem to do their best work!)
🏋️♀️ Pro tip: Mix your collagen into water or juice with a little vitamin C (lemon, orange, or even your CRANEL formula 🍒).
🍓 How to mix it
Collagen peptides dissolve in almost anything. Try:
-
☕ Coffee or matcha
-
🥤 Smoothies or protein shakes
-
🥣 Yogurt or oatmeal
-
💧 Even just cold water
They’re tasteless, heat-safe, and play nice with everything.
If it’s your first time, start with one scoop a day (about 5–10 g).
💖 How long until you notice changes?
It’s a slow-glow moment, not a quick fix.
Most people see or feel something between 8–12 weeks. Smoother skin, stronger nails, or less stiffness in joints.
Keep snapping before-and-after pics 📸 or note small changes, they sneak up on you!
🧘♀️ What to pair it with
Pair your collagen with:
-
Vitamin C → helps your body make collagen
-
Protein-rich meals → adds more amino acids
-
Hydration → collagen loves water
-
CRANEL weekly formula 😉 which already supports your gut and skin health
Your body does its best collagen work when it’s getting a full mix of nutrients.
⚖️ Safety & quality checklist
Before buying any collagen:
✅ Choose bovine or marine Type I & III (great for skin & bones)
✅ Look for third-party testing (so you know it’s pure)
✅ Avoid sketchy “miracle” claims collagen is powerful but not magic ✨
✅ Pregnant or breastfeeding? Always check with your doctor first (it’s a protein, but every pregnancy is different).
🌈 Quick recap, your collagen routine
1️⃣ Add a scoop of CRANEL Collagen Peptides Type I & III to your coffee or smoothie
2️⃣ Pair it with something that has vitamin C 🍊
3️⃣ Stick with it daily for at least 8–12 weeks
4️⃣ Drink plenty of water and celebrate small wins 💪
💬 The bottom line
Collagen works best when you make it a ritual, not a chore.
So stir it into your morning coffee, your afternoon smoothie, or your CRANEL formula, and let your glow-up happen quietly in the background. 🌸
