How are water and collagen connected?

Collagen is a structural protein that acts like a sponge. To "plump" wrinkles and give skin elasticity, it needs adequate water. Without proper hydration, supplements lose much of their effectiveness.

Which type of collagen is best for skin?

For skin hydration and anti-aging glow, Type I & III Collagen Peptides (marine or bovine) are best. Marine collagen is absorbed slightly faster due to a smaller molecule size.

How many grams of collagen per day is optimal?

A preventative dose under 30 is 2.5–5g. After 35, a clinical dose of 10g is recommended for visible anti-aging effects. For joint recovery, up to 15g daily can be utilized.

Why might the water calculation differ from a standard water calculator?

Standard calculators often multiply your base need by activity factors, which can overestimate water for people with a higher body weight. Here, we use an "additive" fitness model: a baseline of 33ml/kg plus fixed amounts for sweat loss. Both formulas are scientifically sound, but this one is often safer to prevent overhydration!
