What to expect

A collagen protocol takes time.The research took time. So does building a routine.

Collagen peptide studies run for weeks or months. That is why a protocol needs one thing above all: consistency.

weeks

Studied over weeks

In several clinical studies, bioactive collagen peptides were taken daily for 12 weeks.

Studied over months

Randomised and placebo-controlled: one study followed participants for six months.

48

“The powder dissolves very quickly, tasteless!! I will certainly order again!”
Christine · Joint Powder5 of 5 stars

Clinical studies on collagen peptides run for 12 to 48 weeks.

That's why the Kollagen Institut protocol is designed for 90 days.

How our collagen peptides are made

From collagen to bioactive peptides.

Collagen from carefully selected European raw material is split by enzymes into short, easily soluble peptides. The result: specific bioactive collagen peptides, types I and III, with a defined peptide profile – examined in clinical studies.
Step 1The raw material.

Carefully selected collagen, sourced in Europe, is the starting point.

Step 2Split by enzymes.

Enzymes break the long collagen chains down into short, easily soluble peptides.

Step 3A defined peptide profile.

Specific bioactive collagen peptides, types I and III – examined in clinical studies.

From raw material to a defined peptide profile.

How we check reviews

We collect reviews through the Judge.me service. Reviews marked “Verified” could be matched to an order in our shop. For reviews without this mark, we cannot check whether the person bought or used the product. We show positive and negative reviews and do not change their text. Reviews of different pack sizes of the same product appear together. English and French versions are translated automatically; you can show the original on each review.

  • The collagen dissolves really well, has no taste and is very pleasant to take, e.g. in coffee.

  • The powder is easy to use and dissolves quickly; practically no taste of its own … Delivery in a glass jar is heavier than plastic, but in my view easier to recycle … I’m a repeat buyer.
    MichaelJoint Powder
  • … The consistency is very good, it dissolves quickly and is completely tasteless. I appreciate that.
    KatrinJoint Powder
  • We put 2 teaspoons in our coffee every morning. … What I really like is that it doesn’t come in single portions, which saves a lot of packaging and waste.

    I cannot comment on the effect yet. I have been fighting arthrosis for years, it will surely take a while before I see an effect.

    Broken knees

    I bought collagen recently and am taking it regularly at the moment. The time frame for giving a verdict is however too short.

    Good product

    Fast delivery. Great glass containers. Slight improvement in my joint pain after four weeks. Even my skin looks more even. I will order again.

Questions about collagen for joints and cartilage

What’s in your protocol, how to use it and why it lasts 90 days.

Which collagen peptides are in the jar?

Types I and III from pork, split by enzymes – the same peptides as in the five studies. Type II collagen, the main collagen in cartilage, is not included.

How do I take the collagen?

Powder:
Stir 5 g once a day into 250 ml of water, juice or a drink of your choice – the daily amount used in three of the five studies. Unflavoured and soluble, in your morning coffee too.

Capsules:
6 capsules a day with a meal and enough water – about 3 g in total, handy on the go. Each capsule contains about 500 mg of collagen peptides in a cellulose (HPMC) shell. Prefer to follow the 5 g used in the studies? Then the powder is the right choice for you – at the same price per day.

Powder or capsules: one jar lasts 30 days.

What can I expect from the protocol?

The same serving every day – 5 g of powder or 6 capsules – for 90 days, so three jars. And full transparency: this page shows how the ingredients in this product were studied – participants, study design, duration and original sources.

Why do you show studies instead of promises?

Because the decision should be yours. We disclose what was studied – with study design, number of participants and original source. We leave the judgement to you.

Why is the protocol designed for 90 days?

The shortest of the five studies on these collagen peptides ran for 12 weeks – about 90 days. That is why we recommend the 90-day protocol with three jars to start. The longest study ran for 48 weeks – if you want to continue after that, choose the 180-day protocol with the lowest price per day.

Why bioactive peptides — and not just collagen?

“Collagen” alone does not tell you which specific peptides a product contains. Enzymatic hydrolysis splits collagen into smaller collagen peptides, producing peptides with different properties.

For our protocols we deliberately select specific bioactive collagen peptides, taking into account the peptides, doses and intake periods that have been studied.

This is how we link the choice of peptides to clinical studies – matched to each goal.

Which collagen peptides are in this protocol?

Types I and III from pork, split by enzymes – the same peptides as in five studies with 737 people.

What is known about long-term intake?

The longest study on these collagen peptides followed intake over 48 weeks, another over 24 weeks. We recommend starting with the 90-day protocol. If you want to continue after that, choose the 180-day protocol – it comes closer to the longer studies and has the lowest price per day.

Type I and III collagen from pork. 5 g a day. 90 days.
