Collagen should be up to 30% of your daily protein. That means if you have 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight and weigh 200 lbs you should be having 66 grams of collagen.

Did you bother to check?

Have you ever bothered to supplement with collagen and do you even know how?

I bet for most of us the answer is no & yet we take creatine, whey protein, eat a lot of fruit and veges etc.

I have trained 32 years and didnt care less about collagen. Now I have had a rotator cuff tear for ten weeks and all of a sudden my attitude has changed.

If you want to retain your youth you better get serious about collagen intake.

So what is the best way to increase collagen to the extent that it is definitely 30% of your protein intake?

Gelatin

Yep good old common gelatin. Two kinds of it collagen hydrolysate & regular collagen (gellatin) are required.

I just went over the street to the asian food market & they have 3kg bags of gelatin for $70 – SCORE!!!

My collagen Hydrolysate I will get from the USA or aliexpress.

Here is the link $118 for an 8lb sack Collagen Hydrolysate

Now there are plenty of different suppliers so shop around

The bottom line is you need to be taking this stuff every day of your life & plenty of it.

If you dont? Well you may tear a tendon as I just did, you may get muscle sprains, breathing problems, heart disease. collagen is required by capiliaries. You will age & die sooner.

Just take the darn stuff.
