How Much Collagen & Gelatin Do You Really Need?

Collagen and gelatin have earned their place in the wellness world for good reason—they support your skin, joints, gut, and more. But how much should you really be getting every day? Here’s a simple breakdown of how much you need, and how Gelatin Glow’s products, including Morning Glow, Matcha Glow, and our collagen-boosting marshmallows, can help you hit those targets.


Skin & Beauty: 5–10g of Collagen

If you're looking to improve skin moisture, elasticity, and reduce wrinkles, 5–10g of collagen daily is ideal. Both Morning Glow and Matcha Glow make it easy to hit that sweet spot, giving you the glow you're after with each cup.


Joint & Bone Health: 10g a Day

For those who are active or dealing with joint discomfort, 10g of collagen or gelatin daily can really help. Whether it’s a cup of Matcha Glow or a serving of collagen-boosting marshmallows, these products give you the support you need for healthy joints.


Gut Health: 10–15g of Gelatin

Gelatin is amazing for gut health. It supports the gut lining and helps with digestion, making it a go-to for anyone struggling with bloating or other digestive discomforts. Drinking Morning Glow or enjoying a marshmallow treat each day helps you meet the 10–15g of gelatin recommended for gut support.


Sleep: 3–5g of Gelatin

Gelatin’s glycine content helps promote relaxation and improves sleep quality. Just 3–5g of gelatin before bed can help you wind down and get a restful night’s sleep. Luckily, Morning Glow and Matcha Glow both offer these benefits, helping you sleep better while also boosting your glow.


How Gelatin Glow Makes It Easy

Each cup of Morning Glow delivers 5g of protein, sourced equally from collagen and gelatin—so you’re getting the perfect daily dose of both in one simple drink. Matcha Glow provides similar benefits, giving you 2.5g of each, with the added bonus of clean energy and focus. And if you’re craving something sweet, our collagen-boosting marshmallows are a delicious way to sneak in some extra collagen while satisfying your sweet tooth.


Collagen and gelatin are more than just wellness trends—they’re game-changers for skin, joints, gut health, and even sleep. By incorporating Morning Glow, Matcha Glow, or our collagen-boosting marshmallows into your routine, you’re making it easy to meet your daily goals and glow from the inside out.
