Some people find that to be easier, but in general, you do need to have sufficient amounts of protein because collagen is a protein. It's a large protein, and you do need to have those protein building blocks to help with collagen support and preventing that degradation.

So the key really is if you're going to take a collagen supplement, make sure it's made of hydrolyzed collagen peptides. And what that means is that you take that large collagen protein and you break it down into small groups of amino acids called peptides. And those peptides are made to actually be bioabsorbable, that your gut can actually absorb them.
