Collagen Peptides (Healthkart) (1 Serving)

Choose an unflavored, single-ingredient collagen peptide powder and check the label for added sugar, maltodextrin, syrups, or sweetened creamers, which can be the actual cause of the rise.

Reduce the serving size and split it into two smaller servings taken several hours apart, then compare your glucose response.

Take collagen with a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach; pair it with protein, fat, and fiber such as eggs with avocado or plain Greek yogurt with chia seeds.

Mix collagen into water, unsweetened coffee, or unsweetened tea instead of juice, sweetened beverages, or flavored milk alternatives.

Avoid combining collagen with rapidly absorbed carbohydrate foods, especially at breakfast; if you want fruit, use a small serving of berries alongside nuts or seeds.

Review the timing of your measurement and repeat the test on a different day under similar conditions; sleep, stress, exercise, illness, and caffeine can meaningfully change the response.
