Why it made the stack
Key takeaways.
Momentous says to take it 30 to 60 minutes before training, the same timing used in the best-known study.
Your body needs vitamin C to make collagen, so it's built into each scoop.
Collagen is low in leucine, so it doesn't build muscle like whey. Think tendons and joints, not gains.

One scoop, every number.
Here's what one serving gives you, straight from the label.

What the research says
What the evidence shows.
Collagen + vitamin C
In a small study of 8 healthy men, vitamin C-enriched gelatin taken before exercise doubled a blood marker of collagen production. Promising for tendons, but it measured a lab marker, not fewer injuries.

Collagen vs. other protein
The big protein-and-muscle meta-analysis used mostly complete proteins like whey. Collagen lacks some essential amino acids, so don't count it as your muscle protein.

FAQ
Quick answers.
When should I take collagen?
Momentous suggests 30 to 60 minutes before training, the timing used in the main vitamin C and gelatin study.
Does collagen build muscle?
Not well. It's missing amino acids your muscles need. Whey or a complete plant protein is better for that.
Is it vegetarian?
No. It's bovine collagen, from cattle.
