Dr.axe multi collagen protein powder

I’ve just added this powder to my coffee in the morning it has 9grm of protein 35 calories per scoop. Does anyone know if there are carbs in it? The label doesn’t say…which is strange.

Also has anyone had any experience with collagen while doing keto

It’s fine for keto. Collagen is great for skin, hair and nails. Just don’t use it as a replacement for whole proteins from animal-based sources as it’s not a complete amino profile. Totally fine to use though, that being said.

I have 10g of collagen in every fatty coffee I make.

About a year ago I did some reading on this topic. I was trying to find help on loose skin. What I read and the conclusion I came to was that taking collagen supplements won’t do me any good if my stomach isn’t acidic enough. That my system can’t absorb it if my ph isn’t right and so it’s just wasted. My end result was I started taking ACV in hopes of changing my ph so that I’d better absorb the collagen from the protein I eat. For the life of me, today, I can’t find where I found this info back then. I’ve spent a year on ACV and honestly have not seen any affect.

To those of you taking collagen, do you know anything about this acid/alkaline ph absorbtion issue?
Also, have you seen results from taking it?

I have been using Dr Axe for over a year, just in my morning coffee. I’ve had to get a haircut twice as often, my nails are doing great and I’m hungry much later for lunch. I just started Keto in January and was wondering the same thing. I highly recommend the product, regardless!

Are you using the multi collagen or the collagen peptides? I just started the multi and have been putting it in my coffee. Too soon to see any results but I’m really hoping it works.

What helps with the real low stomach acid is bromelain (pineapple) or bentaine hydrochloric acid with pepsin (only take when you eat meat/protein) and not enough zinc in the diet which helps the epithelial cells and proton pumps in the stomach produce adequate amounts of hydrochloric acid!

Digestive bitters (anything bitter e.g. dandelion) also help the stomach produce more hydrochloride!
