As the temperature drops, our skin, joints, and immune systems often feel the effects.
Collagen, a vital protein that supports skin elasticity, joint health, and overall vitality can be a powerful winter wellness ally. But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right collagen powder? Here’s what to look for:
✅ Look for Types I and III Collagen
These are the most common types found in skin, hair, and nails. Type I supports skin elasticity and hydration, especially important when winter air dries us out. Type III works alongside Type I to improve skin firmness and promote healthy circulation.
🐄 Know Your Source: Bovine vs. Marine
• Bovine collagen (from cows) is rich in Types I and III. It is great for skin, joints, and gut health.
• Marine collagen (from fish) is easier to digest and may absorb more quickly ideal for beauty-focused results.
Choose based on your dietary needs and goals.
🍵 Check for Clean Ingredients
Choose a powder that’s:
• Grass-fed / pasture-raised (if bovine)
• Wild-caught (if marine) and preferably sustainable – MSC Verified
• Free of additives, sugar, and artificial flavors
Pure collagen should dissolve easily and have little to no taste, perfect to stir into coffee, tea, or smoothies.
🌿 Consider Extra Ingredients for Winter Support
Some collagen powders include bonus nutrients like:
• Vitamin C – essential for collagen synthesis and immunity
• Hyaluronic acid – supports skin hydration
• Zinc or biotin – for added skin and hair health
🕒 Pick a Routine That Works for You
Consistency matters more than timing. Whether you blend it into your morning latte or a nighttime tea, choose a collagen powder that fits your lifestyle so you're more likely to stick with it.
