Not Seeing Results from Collagen? This Could Be Why

Most people think taking collagen is simple: scoop, stir, sip, done.

But here’s the real secret nobody’s talking about: timing, pairing, and even your gut condition play a huge role in whether that expensive collagen powder is actually doing anything inside your body.

So if you’ve been drinking collagen and not seeing the glow, stronger nails, or gut improvement—this might be why.

Let’s break down what really matters when taking collagen (and what most people get wrong).

1. Collagen Needs Its Wingman: Vitamin C

Without enough L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), your body can’t properly synthesize collagen. This is non-negotiable. Many cheap collagen powders don’t include enough—or use the wrong form.

✅ Totally Derma contains active Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) to actually kickstart collagen production.

2. Empty Stomach or After Meals? Timing Matters

Taking collagen on an empty stomach improves absorption, especially first thing in the morning. But if your gut is sensitive, taking it with a small meal may be better tolerated.

💡 Pro Tip: Try it before breakfast or 30 mins before bed for maximum benefits.

3. Gut Health Affects Absorption

Collagen doesn’t work well if your gut lining is compromised. Many people suffer from low-grade gut issues (like leaky gut) without even knowing.

Totally Derma is one of the few collagen drinks formulated with gut support ingredients, including:

• Green Tea Extract

• Grape Seed Extract

• Zinc + Copper + Manganese

These help heal the gut lining, so your body can actually absorb the collagen.

4. Sugar-Free Is Non-Negotiable

Sugar interferes with collagen formation. Yet many beauty powders sneak in sugar or sweeteners that can do more harm than good.

✅ Totally Derma is 100% sugar-free and allergen-free.

5. One Scoop Isn’t Magic—Consistency Is Key

You won’t get collagen benefits in a week. It takes 4–12 weeks of daily use to see results in skin elasticity, hydration, and hair growth.

Set a reminder. Keep it in your morning routine. Let the formula work its magic over time.

6. Poor Formulations = Wasted Effort

Most people don’t know to look at the type of collagen. Type I is most important for skin, hair, nails, and bones. And dosage matters.

✅ Totally Derma delivers 10,000mg of hydrolyzed bovine collagen (Type I) — the exact type studied in clinical trials for anti-aging and gut repair.

Conclusion: Collagen Only Works If You Use It Smart

Collagen isn’t just a trend—it’s backed by science. But if you’re not taking it correctly, you’re likely wasting your time (and money).
