How to Take Collagen Powder: When, How and What to Mix It With

Collagen powder is one of the easiest supplements to add to your day, but only if you actually take it. The biggest reason tubs end up at the back of the cupboard isn't the product, it's the routine. Here's a simple way to make it stick.

How much collagen powder should I take?

Always follow the serving size on your label. For Radiant Glow, that's one scoop once a day. Taking more than the label suggests doesn't make it work faster, and consistency matters far more than quantity.

What should I mix collagen powder with?

Flavoured collagen is made to mix with cold water. Add one scoop to 200–250ml of cold water, stir or shake for about 10 seconds and it's ready. If you want to switch things up, try:

  • Sparkling water for a fizzy, soda-style drink
  • A smoothie – strawberry works with banana and berries, peach with mango and yoghurt
  • Iced tea – Peach Serenity and iced green tea is a favourite
  • Coconut water after the gym

Tip: add the powder to the liquid, not the other way around. It dissolves faster and won't clump at the bottom of the glass.

When is the best time to take collagen?

There's no magic hour. The best time is the one you'll remember every day. Most people tie it to something they already do:

  • With breakfast or the morning coffee run
  • In the shaker after training
  • As an afternoon pick-me-up instead of a soft drink

How long until I notice anything?

Collagen is a daily ritual rather than a quick fix, so think in weeks and months, not days. Everyone is different. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, check with your healthcare professional before starting any supplement.

Make it a habit

  1. Keep the tub somewhere you'll see it, next to the kettle or your shaker.
  2. Pair it with an existing habit (habit stacking).
  3. Pick a flavour you genuinely enjoy. You'll take it more often.
