I hate to disagree, but...we were on 10mg a day in morning coffee. Joints felt great. Hair was ridiculously thick again. Skin looked radiant! BUT...as I've stated before I can't do collagen. I don't digest/process protein properly. It makes me gain weight. ALOT of it. I'm taking steps with homeopathic MD to correct this issue. I recently bumped my husband down to 5 mg a day because, I believe it was Dr Mercola, stated 5 mg was plenty. Especially since he eats plenty of protein. He hasn't noticed joints hurting or any difference. I'm also not the only person who gains weight due to protein. I read an article where a personal trainer had a small group she'd put on collagen as part of her regime. She stated all were gaining weight and NONE were losing! If following her plan along with the workouts she lead them through no way they should have gained! She removed collagen from the mix and all started losing weight as planned! I got bigger than I'd EVER been except pregnant! Like 15 lbs bigger! In that I loved the other affects, but weight gain wasn't worth it! Everyone is different. To the skinny old men and women with sagging skin I'd say go for 20, but to the average joe 20-55 I'd say start with 5mg...you can always move up, but when that weight comes on it's HARD to lose! Just simply stopping the collagen you won't lose ONE pound! I had to fast and I keep moving ALLLLLL day! We use (he still uses) Native Path btw. It's Bovine 1 and 3. Unflavored you can't taste it one bit in anything and dissolves GREAT! I can't do Krill oil or Omega 3's either. It is what it is. 🤷‍♀️
