1 tablespoon (medium) of Hydrolyzed 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.
Hydrolyzed Collagen Supplement is a dietary product, usually sold as a powder, made by breaking collagen down into smaller peptides. It is generally sourced from animal collagen and is used as an add-on to meals and drinks rather than as a dish in its own right.
The powder is often mild or nearly neutral in taste, so it can be stirred into water, coffee, tea or a smoothie. It is also easy to mix into porridge or yoghurt; follow the label for the suggested serving and mixing directions. It is very high in protein, with 90 g per 100 g, and contains no carbohydrates or fat according to the listed nutrition values. An unflavoured version can be a practical choice if you want to avoid adding sweetness to a drink.

Low
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.

“Hydrolyzed” means the collagen has been processed into smaller peptides, usually using water and enzymes. This processing makes the powder easier to dissolve and digest; it does not mean the supplement is the same as whole-food protein.
A hydrolyzed collagen supplement is taken mainly to support skin and joint health. Research suggests it may help some people with these outcomes, but it is not a treatment and results are not guaranteed.
Most hydrolyzed collagen supplements are powders that you stir into water, smoothies, or other drinks. Follow the serving directions on your product, and mix it thoroughly to prevent clumps.
Yes, you can mix a hydrolyzed collagen supplement into coffee. Typical hot-drink temperatures do not make collagen peptides unusable, though stirring well helps the powder dissolve evenly.
No, a hydrolyzed collagen supplement does not have to be taken with vitamin C. Vitamin C is needed for the body’s own collagen production, but taking both at the same time has not been shown to be essential.
Neither marine nor bovine hydrolyzed collagen is proven to be universally better. They come from different animal sources and may contain different collagen types; avoid a source that triggers an allergy or conflicts with your preferences.
No, a hydrolyzed collagen supplement is not a complete protein and should not replace varied protein foods. Collagen lacks tryptophan, an essential amino acid, so it does not provide the full range of amino acids found in complete proteins.
There is not strong evidence that a hydrolyzed collagen supplement promotes hair growth. Hair thinning can have many causes, and collagen has not been established as a way to address them.
A hydrolyzed collagen supplement has not been firmly shown to cause acne. If breakouts begin after starting one, other ingredients in the product or an unrelated skin trigger may be involved.
The safety of hydrolyzed collagen supplements during pregnancy has not been well established. Because products can differ in source and added ingredients, ask your doctor or dietitian before using one.
