Not sure what to believe about collagen? Let's cut through the noise. Here are the most common myths men hear — and the science-backed truth behind them.
1. "Collagen is just for skin and beauty"
While collagen is known for improving skin elasticity, it’s also critical for joint health, muscle recovery, and bone strength. Strength & Recovery explains how it supports performance, and products like Revayo Prime are formulated specifically for men’s mobility and resilience — not skincare routines.
2. "You don’t need it if you eat well"
Modern diets rarely contain enough collagen-rich foods like bone broth. Plus, your body’s collagen production declines from age 30. Supplementing helps bridge the gap — especially if you're training hard or want to stay mobile long-term. See How Collagen Supports Men Over 30.
3. "It doesn’t help with muscle or joints"
Numerous studies show that collagen can improve joint function and support tendon strength. When combined with resistance training, it can support lean muscle development and post-workout recovery. Explore more in Collagen for Athletes, and consider stacking Revayo Prime with Revayo Boost for comprehensive support.
4. "All collagen is the same"
Not true. Bovine collagen types I & III — like in Revayo — are ideal for muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Marine collagen is often more expensive and more skin-focused. See the full breakdown in Marine vs Bovine Collagen, or go straight to our Prime + Boost Stack if you want performance plus skin support.
5. "You’ll see results instantly"
Like any supplement, collagen works with consistency. Most users begin to notice benefits in 3–8 weeks — from reduced joint aches to improved movement. Build the habit: pair your daily serving with morning coffee or a post-workout shake. Our guide to Why Daily Use explains how consistency compounds over time.
