You're standing at the fridge at 7 am, and you can already picture the collagen powder at the back of the cupboard that you bought in March. That's the real problem with collagen. Most people don't pick the wrong amount, they just stop. So when you're choosing between 5000mg and 8000mg, ask which one you'll still be drinking in two months. If you want the most collagen per drink, go for the 8000mg bottle. If you'd rather have a smaller can that feels like a treat, go for the 5000mg.

Is 8000mg better than 5000mg?
It's more collagen, and double the hyaluronic acid. Whether that's better for you is harder to say, and we won't pretend otherwise. There's no official daily amount for collagen, and research on it is still going on. What's clear is that collagen isn't a one-off. If it does anything for you, it does it over weeks of regular use, not after one bottle.
That's why we keep coming back to the same point: the best dose is the one you'll keep taking.
Choose the 8000mg bottle if
- 🧬 You want the most collagen in a single drink.
- 💧 You like a bigger drink to sip through the morning.
- 🥤 You want a bottle you can keep at your desk.
Flavours include Pink Lemonade, and the full list is in our collagen drinks range.
Choose the 5000mg can if
- 🥫 You'd rather have a smaller 355ml can.
- 🥤 You want to swap out your afternoon soft drink.
- 🧃 You don't want a full 500ml in one go.

Can you get collagen another way?
Yes. Your body makes collagen from the protein you eat, so a decent protein intake comes first. No drink fixes a diet short on protein. A collagen drink is an easy add-on for people who like the routine, and it's fine to skip if you don't.
If you drink coffee every morning, you could also take your collagen that way. We've written about coffee with collagen, including whether heat damages it.
How to make it stick
Keep the pack in the fridge where you'll see it. Tie it to something you already do, such as your morning commute or the walk out of the gym. And give it time before you judge it. A pack of 12 at one a day lasts you under two weeks, so if you're serious about trying collagen, plan for more than one pack.
