Timing & cycling
Any time; mixed into coffee, shakes, or water. For joint/tendon targeting, ~15 g with vitamin C 30–60 minutes before training is the studied pattern.

Key points
- Hydrolyzed collagen is fully food-safe — this is the one entry on this site closer to protein powder than pharmacology.
- It is not a complete protein; it complements, not replaces, daily protein targets.
What to monitor
Give it 8+ weeks; nails and skin respond before joints do.
Legal & prescription status
No prescription needed. It is sold as an over-the-counter dietary supplement / food-grade product.
