How To Best Use Collagen

How to Best Use BNCE Collagen:

  • Take 30–60 minutes before exercise: Consume BNCE collagen  on an empty or light stomach to optimize absorption of amino acids like glycine and proline, which support joint repair and muscle recovery during workouts.
  • Be consistent with daily usage: Take the same dose every day (ideally at the same time, e.g., morning or pre-workout) for at least 8–12 weeks to see measurable improvements in joint health, skin, hair, and nails—results compound with adherence.

 

Tendon Sessions Maximize Uptake and Adaptation:

  • What are "tendon sessions": Tendon sessions are short exercise bouts focused on utilizing the stretch shortening cycle. This includes things like jumping rope, running, sprinting, jumping, plyometrics, etc. It's recommended that these sessions don't take longer than 20-30 minutes. Taking BNCE collagen before a strength training session is fine, but may not yield the best results.

How to Best Mix Collagen

According to the article Avoid Collagen Clumps: The Ultimate Guide to Mixing Collagen Powder, the secret to a smooth blend comes down to temperature, timing, and using the right tools. Because collagen is a binding protein, it naturally tends to clump when it hits cold liquids too quickly. By mastering a few simple preparation techniques, you can enjoy a perfectly smooth beverage every single time.

Key Takeaways & Best Practices

  • Mind the Temperature: Collagen molecules dissolve much more easily in warm or room-temperature liquids. When mixing BNCE mix it with a warmer liquid and then cool it down with some ice!
  • Add It Gradually: It's not recommended to dump an entire scoop of BNCE into your cup at once. Sprinkle the powder in slowly while stirring continuously to allow the liquid to absorb it evenly. If you're using a shaker, pour a fraction of the scoop in, shake, and then repeat until everything is mixed.
  • Use the Right Tools: When a regular spoon isn't cutting it, a handheld milk frother or a standard blender will completely break down stubborn clumps in 10 to 30 seconds.
  • Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides: BNCE uses premium hydrolyzed collagen peptides for a reason. These have already been broken down into smaller molecules, making them significantly more soluble in both hot and cold liquids.
  • Boost with Vitamin C: We've already included the vitamin C for you! Just mix and enjoy.
