You’ve probably heard the buzz, collagen is having a moment. But here’s the thing: it’s not just hype. Collagen really can support your skin, joints, muscles, and even your sleep. The question is, when should you take it to really feel the difference?
Morning? After the gym? Before bed? Let’s talk timing and help you find what actually works for your lifestyle.
First, What’s the Deal with Collagen?
Collagen is the glue that holds so much of you togetheryour skin, joints, bones, muscles. But as we age (and let’s be honest, even just live), collagen levels start to dip. That’s where a daily scoop of high-quality collagen, like the one in your Juspy blend, can give your body a little nudge in the right direction.
Does timing matter? It can, depending on what you’re hoping to support. Let’s walk through it.
For Skin That Glows: Make It a Habit
Want brighter, smoother skin and stronger hair? You’re not alone. The magic isn’t really in the whenit’s in the every day. Studies show consistent daily collagen intake helps with skin hydration and elasticity, but the clock doesn’t matter much.
A good start:
The key to any habit is finding what works for you. The best thing about Juspy is it can adapt to your busy-ness and can change with your day. Our ‘breakfast club’ typically have a couple of scoops in their overnight oats or morning coffee, or smoothie. They might have the ‘dirty Juspy’ on ice around 12pm or as a hotchcolate for that 3pm slump.
For Happy Joints and Stronger Bones: Take It with Food
Collagen can be a real friend to creaky joints and achy knees. Whether you’re running the roads or chasing after kids, collagen supports improved comfort and mobility.
Juspy suggests
Mix 2 tablespoons into greek yogurt until smooth and top it off with some nuts and berries. It’s the best high protein snack!
For Post-Workout Muscle Recovery: Timing Counts
Collagen isn’t just about beauty, it also helps with muscle repair and strength. If you’ve just crushed a workout, your muscles are primed to soak up protein.
What works:
Within twenty minutes to a half hour of finishing your workout, blend Juspy with a frozen banana, frozen spinach, Juspy and milk. This smoothie is epic for feeling good post training.
For Sleep and Wind-Down Time: Night Is Your Friend
One of the lesser-known perks of collagen? Glycine. It’s an amino acid that helps calm your nervous system and ease you into deeper sleep.
So try this:
Late in the evening make your juspy hot chocolate. It’s the ultimate hug in a mug. Check out our recipe section to make the perfect blend. Feel free to add a dash of cinnamon, turmeric, balck pepper, ginger or butter in too! It’s like a chocolatey hug that helps you drift off easier.
