Research is showing WHEN you take collagen matters.
If you are like me, you are likely mixing powdered collagen into your morning smoothie or in a post-workout protein shake.
It has been like checking a box – I know it is important for my good looks (hair, skin, and nails) and my connective tissues.
But guess what? New research shows that TIMING is everything when taking collagen, especially if you are active and over 30 because your body starts to decrease its natural collagen production
Body movement will help the efficacy of collagen:
Ideally, taking collagen 30-60 minutes before working out allows for higher absorption and “primes” your body for training.
Once collagen is in your system, your body movement while training will propel the collagen into your joints, soft tissues, and even blood cells for maximum benefit.
Momentous has developed the first-of-its-kind collagen shot. It is important to know this is NOT a powder but a great-tasting gel.
It is not too thick or too watery and can be taken without water, making it super convenient.
I have a box I keep in my sports bag and take it before working out to protect my knees, tendons, and ligaments.
Here is what I love the most:
Each shot has 10g of collagen plus 35mg of Vitamin C for increased absorption in the body.
Based on the latest research (check out Dr. Keith Baar’s findings from UC Davis Health School of Medicine), you can increase your collagen uptake by 200% by taking PRIOR to working out.
Taste is excellent, benefits your connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, and any cartilage damage, and helps with bone loss.
Athletes that are in the heart of their marathon training particularly like this product to help protect their tissues, ligaments, and cartilage from those longer cement miles.
