Timing matters less than consistency — but each window offers different advantages.
Morning, post-workout, or evening? Here’s what research and real-world use suggest about timing your collagen intake for strength, recovery, and long-term joint health.
Morning: Foundation & Habit Building
Many men prefer taking collagen in the morning because it’s easy to make consistent. Adding collagen to coffee, water, or a shake helps lock it into a daily routine.
Morning intake also pairs well with Vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation. Using a formula like Revayo Prime first thing helps support connective tissue maintenance throughout the day.
Post-Workout: Recovery & Tissue Support
Taking collagen after training can be a practical choice for active men. Resistance exercise places stress on tendons, ligaments, and joints — the very tissues collagen supports.
Research suggests collagen may be most relevant when consumed around training, particularly when combined with adequate protein and carbohydrates. Many athletes also combine collagen with Revayo Boost to support joints, skin, and connective tissue under higher training loads.

Evening: Recovery & Repair
Evening intake suits men focused on recovery, rest, and long-term tissue repair. The body carries out much of its repair work during sleep, making nighttime a convenient window for collagen intake.
Some men find collagen in the evening helps them stay consistent, particularly when paired with a wind-down routine. Using the Prime + Boost Stack at night is a popular option for those prioritising joint comfort and skin support.
So… When Is the Best Time?
The best time to take collagen is the time you’ll stick to. Collagen works through regular intake, not perfect timing.
Whether it’s in your morning coffee, post-workout shake, or evening routine, consistency is what drives results over weeks and months. For a broader view of how collagen supports men’s health, explore our guide: Benefits of Collagen .
