1 tablespoon (medium) of Hair and skin collagen supplement (10 g) has 36 calories. That works out to 360 calories per 100 g. It contains 0 g of carbs, 9 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A hair and skin collagen supplement is a product used to add collagen protein to the diet, commonly measured by the spoonful and stirred into a drink. It is marketed for hair and skin support, but it does not promise a particular result, and individual experiences can vary.
Taste and how smoothly it mixes depend on the product. You can stir it into water, coffee or a smoothie, following the directions on the package. The nutrition table lists 90 g of protein per 100 g, so it is a protein-rich supplement. If you want to avoid adding sugar, mix it with an unsweetened drink; it is best treated as an addition to meals rather than a replacement for them.

Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Not reliably. There is not strong evidence that a hair and skin collagen supplement stops hair loss or regrows hair, and it will not address causes such as iron deficiency or thyroid problems.
It may modestly support skin elasticity and hydration. Some studies report improvements with collagen peptides, but results are not guaranteed, and the supplement does not replace sun protection or proven skin care.
Any effect is unlikely to be immediate. Studies assess skin changes after regular use over time, but results and study durations vary, so there is no reliable timeline for visible changes in hair or skin.
No, taking vitamin C at the same time is not essential. Vitamin C helps the body make collagen, but an additional vitamin C supplement is unnecessary for everyone if their diet already provides enough.
There is no established best time of day. Take it at a time that fits your routine and follow the product’s serving directions; consistency matters more than choosing morning or evening.
Yes, powdered collagen can generally be stirred into coffee. Mix it thoroughly and follow the product directions; capsules are meant to be swallowed, not opened and stirred into a drink.
Collagen is derived from animal tissue, commonly from sources such as fish, cattle, or pigs. The source and any added ingredients vary between products, so the name alone does not identify the formulation.
There is no strong evidence that collagen itself causes acne. If breakouts begin after starting a supplement, added ingredients or another change may be involved; stop using it and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
Some people report digestive discomfort, bloating, or an unpleasant aftertaste. Reactions can also depend on the animal source, so avoid a product made from a source you are allergic to.
Safety during pregnancy depends on the product’s source and full ingredient list, and supplement research in pregnancy is limited. Ask your doctor or dietitian before using one while pregnant.
