This is a common question and it’s merely a hoax and marketing ploy created by companies who sell collagen protein that only has 2 types. To get a collagen protein with 5 types of collagen, you need to use multiple sources, and these multiple sources can get very expensive when it comes to manufacturing, which is why they stick to bovine peptides that contain just 2 types. For example, collagen peptides from eggshell are very hard to find and are very expensive to have in our product. We do it because they are an EXCELLENT source of type 2 collagen, which is incredible for joint health and is backed by many studies with humans.

Other companies DON’T DO IT because it costs money. As for the question that it dilutes the formula, giving you less of the others, let’s use type 2 collagen again. Type 2 collagen in research has been shown to improve joint health with as little as 40mg of it per day. Bovine collagen containing types 1 & 3 collagen requires just 5g daily to be beneficial according to research. Our 7.8g blend has you covered.

So moral of the story: we use 5 types because it works better and it’s scientifically more rounded. Even though it costs more, we believe in having a truly amazing product and we know we’ve done that given the feedback on our collagen. And for those types of review articles, just understand you gotta "pay to play." Also, it's strange how when you see that review the #1 brand's ads are in your feed afterwards... right?

We recommend 1-2 servings daily of Multi Collagen. I say "daily" because it is uber important to be consistent and take it daily. In fact, we surveyed customers who returned the product because they didn't see results and 92% of them didn't realize it must be taken daily!
Another popular method is to "front-load" collagen to saturate your body with collagen to see results a bit faster. For example, they will take 2-3 scoops for the first 7 days, then 1-2 scoops daily after that for collagen maintenance.

Almost anything! We recommend adding the powder to a cup first, then pouring a liquid on top of it, or, to your favorite recipe. Then stir, mix, and enjoy! Some popular choices are coffee, tea, milk, protein powder shakes, pancake batter, or oatmeal.

Yes! Our collagen is tested to be free of heavy metals, pesticides, or bacteria.

There may be minor clumping when mixing collagen into colder liquids. This can be solved by either adding the powder first, then the liquid, or, by using a shaker cup where more vigorous mixing can occur.

There is zero grams of fat, carbs or sugar per serving in our Multi Collagen Protein. Just 7g of protein per scoop!

Yes - we strongly recommend daily usage to see the best possible results.

This is false. Collagen types are similar to amino acids and do not compete for absorption - all the types get absorbed after being ingested, just like amino acids. One may be absorbed in a delayed fashion, but they are all absorbed and used to provide benefits.

No way! We've noticed a troubling trend with companies using shady "forced continuity" tactics to keep customers locked in to reordering a product. While we offer subscription purchases for those who want consistent discounts and to not be bothered with remembering to reorder, you can cancel at any time by emailing hello@vitauthority.com. If you choose not to subscribe, please choose the default option when adding your product to your cart: one-time purchase.
