What it is
Found alongside type I collagen in skin, blood vessels, and gut lining. Most collagen supplements are predominantly type I. However, your body breaks all ingested collagen into the same amino acids regardless of type and reassembles them as needed. The type distinction in oral supplements is largely a marketing claim.

5–10 g/day; body breaks down all collagen types into amino acids — type distinction is likely irrelevant orally
Time of day & tips
Mix into any hot or cold drink. Take with vitamin C for better collagen synthesis. Morning or evening are both fine — consistency matters most.
