Hey friends, 

It’s me again, and we need to have a little chat about something.

I feel like collagen is everywhere lately, right? Wherever I go—from a family function to brunch with my girlfriends—everyone’s got collagen questions for me. And don’t get me wrong, I love that people are more focused on their wellness, but some of the things I’m hearing? Well… let’s just say it’s crazy how quickly things can get twisted.

But no worries, you know I’ve always got your back. You deserve the truth, not the hype, and I’m here to give you exactly that. 

And hey, who doesn’t want to feel good about where they’re spending their money?

So whether you've been taking collagen for a while or you're just starting to look into it, trust me—there’s so much more to collagen than what the headlines might have you believe.

So let’s tackle the 5 myths that pushed me to write this in the first place. Ready? (Because I wasn’t). 

"One form of Collagen is better than the other"

Yes, there are tons of collagen options out there—powders, liquids, even gummies—but it all goes down to how well your body can actually absorb them. 

Powders and liquids usually come out on top because they have higher bioavailability—meaning they’re easier for your body to use. Marine collagen, in particular, is the best form, with the smallest molecule size, making it the most highly absorbable type of collagen!

And those jelly or gummy forms of collagen? They’re mostly just gelatin, sugar, and stabilizers. Definitely not what we asked for.

“Collagen creams are magic for your skin!”

Hold up—actually, no. It’s not what you slather on, but what you put in. Those collagen molecules in creams are often too large to penetrate your skin. It's more about nourishment from the inside out. 

“You don’t need collagen if you’re under 30!”

Oh, I’ve heard this one way too many times! 🙈 The truth? Collagen makes up about 30% of your body’s protein, and guess what? Your natural collagen production starts to dip in your mid-20s. 

Yup, we actually produce 1% less collagen every year.

Waiting till it’s too late, aren’t you?

“Collagen is just for beauty!”

Trust me, it’s not just about glowing skin and strong nails (though, yes please 🙌). Let me break it down:  

While type I collagen helps with the glow, it also keeps your bones strong. Type II focuses on joint and cartilage support, and type III works hand in hand with type I, while also playing a big role in gut health, blood vessels, and organs.

Talk about range!

So, whatever your goals may be, there’s a type of collagen for you. And if you’re wondering which one to take, read more here!

“Collagen is only for women!”

Who made up that rule? Collagen is for EVERYONE. Whether you’re hitting Barry’s Bootcamp or just want to feel pretty in your skin, it’s got you covered.

“Bone broth gives you all the collagen you need!”

I mean, unless you’re drinking gallons of it, you’re probably not getting enough from bone broth alone. It’s a great addition, but a little extra collagen support can go a long way. 

👉 For the Geeks👩🏼‍🔬👨🏼‍🔬: ​​Should you take collagen supplements?

So there you have it.

At the end of the day, collagen is a powerful protein for beauty and overall health, but to get the most out of it, the key is to understand how it actually works.

Taking the time to make informed decisions, especially with all those misconceptions out there, is already a huge step, and that’s exactly why I’m committed to making sure you have access to real facts and high-quality collagen supplements—none of the shady stuff you might find elsewhere.
