Collagen+ Antioxidants (Nutrova) (1 Serving)

Check the collagen and antioxidant product labels for added sugars, syrups, maltodextrin, fruit-juice powders, or sweetened creamers; choose unsweetened versions.

Take the supplement with a balanced meal rather than alone, especially one containing protein, fat, and fiber.

Mix collagen into plain Greek yogurt or an unsweetened soy yogurt, and add a small portion of berries or chia seeds instead of sweetened liquids.

Avoid combining it with juice, sweetened coffee drinks, honey, dates, or large portions of refined grains.

Use water or unsweetened almond milk as the mixer, and avoid pre-workout or “energy” antioxidant blends that may contain fast-absorbing carbohydrates.

If spikes persist despite product changes, discuss the pattern and your supplement ingredients with a clinician or registered dietitian.
