Collagen production declines with age, starting in our mid-20s and decreasing by about 1% yearly. Fluctuating hormones, sun exposure, poor diet, smoking and stress accelerate collagen loss and hinder its synthesis. Modern diets, often lacking in collagen-rich foods like organ meats and bone-in cuts, may further reduce collagen-specific amino acids that are essential for skin, joint and overall health.
We can use research to gauge some documented timing, yet the honest answer is that it varies for everyone. Your body will prioritize where the collagen is needed most. Factors like age, your need for collagen (i.e. recovering from injury), diet, lifestyle and more, play a role in how quickly you may notice benefits.. Clinical studies on collagen peptides have shown improvements in skin hydration, smoothness, and appearance over 1–3 months of daily use.
Hydrolyzed Collagen is highly bioavailable, as it’s broken into shorter amino acid chains called peptides.. Once easily absorbed through the gut, these peptides supply the building blocks for new collagen and are thought to signal to collagen-producing cells, supporting natural repair processes.**
The beauty of powdered collagen is that you can tailor the dose. For maintenance, we recommend 6g (2 tsp) a day.To make this easy, the Ritual Scoop measures around 6g grams of True Collagen. For greater collagen support – like during recovery or for active lifestyles – 10-12 grams per day is ideal.
There are a few key differences between marine and bovine collagen linked in our journal article here. Ultimately, our marine collagen and bovine collagen are both effective - both providing 100% hydrolyzed type I collagen peptides and with clinically- backed benefits*. And so, the choice is more a matter of dietary preference.
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are a bioavailable and highly absorbable form of amino acids, meaning they are easy for our body to utilize**. Collagen exists in its natural form as very large, complex molecules constructed from lots of long chains of polypeptides. The collagen molecule itself is far too big to be absorbed across the gut wall, so it needs to be broken down into smaller chains called peptides. Once absorbed, these peptides help support the body’s natural collagen production in bones, skin, and connective tissue+.
Studies suggest that the body’s ability to produce collagen naturally starts to decline in our early 20s**. As we move into our thirties, this process may continue at an accelerated rate. Therefore, you may choose to begin taking collagen in your 20s or 30s to support your skin, joints, and whole body health as you age. Ultimately, whenever you decide to start your daily collagen ritual, the Ancient + Brave team will be here to support you and guide you through your journey.
A common myth surrounding collagen supplements is that they can lead to digestive discomfort. In reality, high-quality hydrolyzed collagen peptides are generally very well tolerated and are often used to support gut health**. However, when introducing a new protein source like collagen,specific enzymes are required to break them down effectively, and the digestive system sometimes needs time (and a little support) to adjust. If you have a sensitive digestive system, here are some tips that may support:
- Start with a smaller dose (½ teaspoon) and gradually increase to allow your digestion to adapt.
- Take it with food to aid digestion.
- Consider enzyme-rich foods like pineapple or papaya, or speak to your healthcare provider about taking a digestive enzyme supplement.
- Stay hydrated - drinking plenty of fluids supports digestion.
- Incorporate gut-friendly foods like fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and fiber-rich foods.Please reach out to our team if you need any additional support.
We keep our True Collagen and Wild Collagen purely collagen-focused to ensure a versatile and easily to use product. Our collagen can blend effortlessly into any drink, letting you adjust your dose as needed without the concern of over-supplementing on individual vitamins and added nutrients. This simplicity allows you to benefit consistently from high-quality collagen, while still having the flexibility to complement it with any additions based on your unique wellness routine.
Type I is the most abundant type of collagen in the body, making up the majority of skin, bones, and connective tissues**.
The recommended daily intake of collagen is 5-15g, which is supported by most clinical studies.
Some individuals may benefit from the higher end of the range of 10-15g, such as those recovering from an injury, following a low-protein diet, experiencing age-related collagen decline, or engaging in intensive physical activity.
Collagen peptides are heat-stable up to 572°F - way above the temperatures you’d use for everyday cooking or hot drinks (boiling water is 212°F). This means you can confidently add them to hot drinks like tea, coffee, or even soups without affecting their benefits. In fact, many people love adding collagen to their morning coffee for an easy daily ritual.
However, we recommend not adding to fizzy or carbonated drinks. Collagen doesn't dissolve well in carbonated liquids, which can cause clumping or frothing, and may negatively affect texture and taste. For the best experience, stick to still beverages, smoothies, or any food or drink where it can dissolve smoothly.
You should always speak to your healthcare provider before introducing any new supplements or dietary changes during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Due to ethical constraints, studies in pregnant and breastfeeding individuals are limited, so we are unable to make specific recommendations. If in doubt, please consult your healthcare provider.
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are broken into smaller peptides that pass through the stomach into the small intestine. There, digestive enzymes further break them down into amino acids and peptides that can be absorbed by the body. These small fragments then support the body’s natural collagen production.**

"I have been taking Ancient and Brave True Collagen for three weeks and already I can feel a real difference in my knee, which had been painful for months. I wasn't expecting such a quick and dramatic result. I will certainly continue with my new routine of adding 5g of Collagen to my morning cuppa ! Thank you Ancient and Brave. Thank you Davina"
"I’ve added December February and now May. The bags under my eyes don’t feel so heavy, which means I don’t feel so tired. I think my skin looks decidedly better. My gut has had only one flare, and I’ve just started my second month. I am looking forward forward to how I will feel by July. I am very fussy and didn’t like the idea of powder in my fresh ground coffee in the morning, but it completely disappears, I don’t taste it or feel it, it dissolves. Highly recommend"
"Highly recommend this collagen powder. I don’t drink warm drinks and previous collagen products I’ve had in water/squash have a very funny taste however I can confirm that this does not taste of anything which is amazing! People have said how good my skin looks!"
"I am just coming to the end of my first subscription of collagen, which I've loved as part of my daily coffee ritual. My body has significant challenges with aching, weak nails, weak hair & muscle recovery. I have Multiple Sclerosis and on HRT to manage perimenopause. The change in my hair and nail growth and the strength of my nails has been significant. I feel like a new woman and I very much appreciate how easily absorbable the True Collagen is, it's been a long time since my body has responded so well to something. Can't wait to continue the journey with my second subscription. A truly welcomed discovery."
"It’s taken me a while to find a collagen I can actually take. Every other one I’ve tried I can taste and it puts me off. This genuinely has no taste or smell! I’ve just finished my first month and my skin is looking so much brighter already. I’m feeling really good and believe this has been such a help."
"I pop this in my juice in a morning. You can’t taste it at all. My hair is amazing having struggled with some damage & loss during menopause. My nails are long & strong & my skin really tight. The lady that does my eyebrows asked me if I’d had Botox !! Fab stuff. I’ve recommended it to about 6 different people."
"I am not a great one for sticking to routines but I’ve managed to have this in my tea every morning. It’s tasteless and doesn’t affect the consistency of the drink at all. I’ve noticed a change in my hair thickness, which is awesome. Also my knees are feeling a little less achy!"
"I’ve been taking True Collagen for almost a month now and am pleased to say I’m beginning to feel better (less body pains) and my skin looks clearer too. I am looking forward to seeing how the next month progresses, hoping for a further improvement in hip pain especially. It’s easy to add the powder to porridge, soup or drinks."
"I have been taking True Collagen for almost a month now and although it is maybe too early to give a 360 review I do fgeel that my nails are in better shape now and my knee joints are quite possibly less painful in the morning!"
"My skin seems more naturally hydrated and healthy all round. My hair appears slightly less bushy and my nails feel to be growing ever so stronger. All these results are without any extra help from any other creams or lotions, and this is only after the first month. I can not wait to see the results from the full 90 days. I'm obsessed 💕😃"
