Type I and Type III collagen are commonly used for skin, hair, and nails, while Type II collagen is often associated with joint and cartilage support. Many supplements combine multiple collagen types for broader benefits.

Collagen can be taken any time of day. Try adding it to coffee, smoothies, or protein shakes in the morning, or add to tea at night as part of a wind-down routine.
