GummyTalk Forum

Hey everyone, I've been diving into the science behind collagen gummies lately. As a science enthusiast, I'm curious about the bioavailability of collagen peptides in gummy form. Does anyone have data on how well the body absorbs collagen from gummies compared to powders or capsules? I've seen some studies suggesting that hydrolyzed collagen is key, but I'm skeptical if gummies can deliver enough without excessive sugar content.

Great point, KetoKevin38! As a biohacker, I've been experimenting with collagen gummies for a few months now. I found a brand that uses stevia and has added vitamin C to boost collagen synthesis. Personally, I've noticed improved skin elasticity and joint support, but it's hard to isolate the effects. Has anyone else tried tracking their biomarkers while using these? I'd love to compare notes on dosage and timing for optimal results.

As a fitness pro, I'm all about practical advice. I recommend collagen gummies to my clients who struggle with powders—they're more convenient and taste better. But, I always check the label: aim for at least 10g of collagen per serving and minimal added sugars. LunarLily, that's smart adding vitamin C! For skeptics, start with a 30-day trial and monitor your recovery times and skin health. Anyone have tips on combining these with a keto diet without spiking insulin?

Thanks for the insights! LunarLily, do you have any links to those studies on vitamin C synergy? I'm compiling research for a blog post. KetoKevin, I agree on the sugar concern—some gummies have up to 5g per serving, which could negate benefits for low-carb folks. Has anyone found a keto-friendly brand that actually works? I'm leaning towards making my own gummies with gelatin and collagen powder, but that might be too much hassle for daily use.

KetoKevin38, I'll DM you some PubMed references later! On the keto front, I've had success with a brand called 'PureKetoCollagen'—they use erythritol and have 12g collagen per serving. But honestly, the cost adds up. KetoKevin, how do you advise clients on cost-effectiveness vs. benefits? Sometimes I wonder if we're just paying for the gummy format rather than the collagen itself. Maybe we should start a community experiment to test different products?
