WHAT I WISH I KNEW
BEFORE CHOOSING MY COLLAGEN
I TOOK COLLAGEN EVERY DAY.Then I realized I was asking the wrong question.
Like a lot of women, I thought choosing collagen was simple: find "collagen" on the bottle, add it to my routine, and move on. But eventually I realized I had barely looked beyond that one word.
MY ROUTINE KEPT GETTING BIGGER.
Collagen. Another supplement. Something else for my daily routine. Then another bottle. And another thing I was supposed to remember.
At some point, I stopped and asked myself —
"Why does taking care of myself have to feel this complicated?"
THEN I STARTED READING MORE THAN THE FRONT LABEL.
"Does it have collagen?"
"What else is actually in the formula?"
That small change completely changed what I paid attention to. Instead of stopping at the biggest word on the front of the bottle, I started looking at what was actually listed inside the formula.
LOOK PAST THE PROMISE.
READ THE FORMULA.
WHEN I LOOKED CLOSER, THERE WAS MORE THAN "COLLAGEN."
These are the collagen types listed on the product label.
Both are included in the formula.
Also listed as part of the formula.
Another ingredient included in the formula.
Also included on the ingredient list.
And additional ingredients are listed on the product label.
PART OF THE STORY.
The word on the front might get my attention. But understanding what I'm actually choosing requires looking beyond that one word.
I DIDN'T WANT ANOTHER COMPLICATED ROUTINE.
I already had enough things competing for my attention. I wasn't interested in building a shelf full of bottles just because every new wellness trend told me I needed something else.
What I wanted was simpler:
For me, that became more important than simply adding "more."
5 THINGS I NOW CHECK BEFORE CHOOSING COLLAGEN
WHAT COLLAGEN TYPES ARE LISTED?
Look beyond the word "collagen" and check which types are shown.
WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED?
Look at what makes up the rest of the formula.
CAN I UNDERSTAND THE LABEL?
Know what you're looking at beyond the front message.
DOES IT FIT THE ROUTINE I ACTUALLY WANT?
More products do not automatically mean a better routine.
AM I CHOOSING INFORMATION — OR A PROMISE?
This is the question that changed the way I shop.
WHAT COLLAGEN TYPES ARE LISTED?
I look beyond the word "collagen" and check what types are actually shown.
WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED?
I want to know what makes up the rest of the formula.
CAN I UNDERSTAND THE LABEL?
I prefer knowing what I'm looking at instead of relying only on the front-of-bottle message.
DOES IT FIT THE ROUTINE I ACTUALLY WANT?
More products do not automatically mean a better routine for me.
AM I CHOOSING INFORMATION — OR A PROMISE?
This became the question that changed the way I shop.
"Sometimes the better question isn't:
Which collagen?
It's:
What am I actually choosing?"
THE OLDER I GET, THE LESS INTERESTED I AM IN CHASING "PERFECT."
There will always be another trend. Another promise. Another thing someone says I should add to my routine. I'm not trying to build the perfect wellness routine.
I WANT ONE THAT FEELS INTENTIONAL, MANAGEABLE, AND MINE.
And that starts with understanding what I'm actually choosing.
SO NOW, I LOOK AT THE WHOLE FORMULA.
Plus additional ingredients listed on the label.
BECAUSE "COLLAGEN"
IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE YOUR NEXT COLLAGEN…
READ THE LABEL.
LOOK AT THE FORMULA.
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CHOOSING.
A big promise on the front can get your attention. But the whole formula gives you more information about what you're actually adding to your routine.
