Today’s question comes from one of our viewers asking about collagen for leaky gut. Specifically, this individual says, “A lot of people are taking collagen, but we’re not sure what is the right amount. Can you clarify, for individuals who want to heal leaky gut, how much collagen should we be taking?”

Collagen Supports Digestive Healing

This is a fantastic question because our Clean Sourced Collagens is highly effective at helping you heal the open, leaky junctures – the tight junctures that get opened from digestive imbalances in leaky gut. Collagen can help support that closure of the gut juncture.[1]

How to Microdose with Collagen Supplements

But the best way to consume collagen for leaky gut is actually to do what I call microdosing. So, having a dose in the morning, having a mid-sized dose in the lunchtime zone, and then also right around dinner or maybe even before bedtime. But this allows the collagen to have its most effectiveness throughout the day, so every time you’re dosing it in the smaller microdosing versions or therapeutic doses, that delivers consistent delivery of the healing properties that we need collagen to take effect.

And collagen has this amazing capacity to support, not just our external skin, but our internal skin, and our digestive process, and the shape and the function of our small intestine and large intestine is skin. It’s just internalized, and there’s a mucosal membrane, and the collagen can be really helpful in achieving that.

How to Maximize Collagen Effectiveness

Now, I do recommend also – to maximize the effectiveness of collagen – is to add in our Enzyme 17, and that can be taken about 20 to 30 minutes before you take and consume your collagen. Because the Enzyme 17 has the right enzymes to break down and help your body assimilate the collagen, so you get your max absorption and then max assimilation.

So that is what I recommend for any individuals looking to use collagen to heal leaky gut. So I hope that’s helpful, and please feel free to send us more questions. I love answering your questions and helping support your body through our fabulous products here at Organixx.

  1. Please unsubscribe me from a subscription that I ended up getting I do not like the taste of it. I do not like how it is very clumpy. I am not happy with this product so I do not want to get any more. I will not except it so please take me off the subscription list. Thank you.

    • Hi Billie,

      We're very sorry to hear that. Thanks for your feedback.

      Please know, that our Clean Sourced Collagens was formulated to be tasteless, odorless, and flavorless. Most users have reported no noticeable taste or texture difference when mixed into coffee, tea, juice, smoothies, protein shakes, etc.

      As for the collagen powder not dissolving properly, our Clean Sourced Collagens may dissolve better in room temperature or warm liquids as opposed to very cold liquids. You may also try to use a blender or immersion blender to mix it as that has shown to help as well.

      In any case, if you are not 100% satisfied with the product and wish to cancel your subscription, we recommend contacting our Customer Success Team so they can further assist you with that. You can find their contact info via the following link: https://support.organixx.com/649565-Contact-Us

      With that said, we do have a very generous 1-year money-back guarantee. Feel free to check it out here: https://shop.organixx.com/pages/return-policy

      Thanks so much. Wishing you a lovely day.

  2. Yeah honestly it's super irritating that you don't just SAY the dosage in grams, or give a range right off the bat. People are spending countless hours researching this shit online and suffering greatly. If you're really trying to help people don't make it just about plugging YOUR product.

    • Hi Sarah,

      We're sorry about that. Thanks for your feedback.

      To clarify, 1 scoop is 8.5g per day.

      In regards to micro-dosing, we recommend taking 3 scoops per day for 1 month if you have never taken a collagen supplement in the past.

      This equates to 25.5g if using our Clean Sourced Collagens.

      After that, you would take 1-scoop daily for maintenance.

      Some people take more or less. Micro dosing would be splitting your ideal dosage up into multiple dosages throughout the day.

      For example, if you determined that 24g a day provides the desired results then instead of taking it all at once you would split it into three 8g dosages throughout the day.

      We hope this helps and wish you all the best on your health & wellness journey.

  3. What portion of the enclosed scoop that comes with the collagen would you recommend if taking it 3-4 times a day?

    • Hi Mary, There is no current definitive dosage or limit set for collagen supplements. We recommend taking 3 scoops per day for 1 month if you have never taken a collagen supplement in the past. After that 1 scoop which is 8.5g per day for maintenance. Some people take more and some may take less. Micro dosing would be splitting your ideal dosage up into multiple dosages throughout the day. For example if you determined that 24g a day provides the desired results then instead of taking it all at once you would split it into 8g dosages throughout the day. I hope this helps to explain it. Have an awesome day!

  4. So is that 1 scoop of your collegian morning, midday and evening? A total of 3 scoops?

    • Hi Christy, There is no current definitive dosage or limit set for collagen supplements. We recommend taking 3 scoops per day for 1 month if you have never taken a collagen supplement in the past. After that 1 scoop which is 8.5g per day for maintenance. Some people take more and some may take less. Micro dosing would be splitting your ideal dosage up into multiple dosages throughout the day. For example if you determined that 24g a day provides the desired results then instead of taking it all at once you would split it into 8g dosages throughout the day. I hope this helps to explain it. Have an awesome day!

  5. I would love to get the latest supplements that I really need but I have no access to a credit card. They were taken away from me by a government office here in Ontario. Thank you for all the information you have provided for me

    • Hi Leah, Oh no! We are sorry to hear this. We are happy to know you find this information helpful. We appreciate you being here with us. Have an awesome day!
