Adding collagen powder to your daily smoothie? Opting for a collagen bar as a snack? Proceed cautiously. Like many of us with our thumbs stuck on scroll, Chrissie Buckley has a weakness for Instagram fads. At their worst, the products she has tried after a convincing influencer endorsement have been minor money drains she can shrug off with a laugh. But when she added collagen powder to her cart earlier this year, those whims took a darker turn.

What to look for
While we’ve vetted the above products and can recommend them wholeheartedly, we also want to give you the tools to look for your own collagen supplements or at least help you understand our process. 1. Dose
There is no official daily recommendation for collagen supplementation. For healthy adults, the recommendation for overall protein needs is about 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. If you’re physically active, your needs may be higher. Collagen is a protein made of peptides, but it’s not a complete protein it doesn’t have all 9 of the essential amino acids (it’s missing tryptophan and is on the lower side on a few others) but can contribute to your overall protein goals. For a collagen supplement, we recommend looking in the 10-20 gram range.
