Those of you who have been with me for the long haul know, I haven’t always had a hard-core collagen regimen.
I knew it was good for us, but I didn’t realize HOW good. And the truth is, it’s better late than never when incorporating new healthy routines and ingredients into your life!
We are so quick to reach for the latest eye cream when we start to see those crows feet, we’ll reach for an antacid when we have heartburn, we rush to buy the latest shampoo craze when our hair begins to thin – at what point do we put all of this energy into being proactive, rather than reactive?
Collagen makes up around 70% of our Skin, Bones and Connective Tissue.
As we age, our body slowly reduces the amount of natural collagen it produces. This is where the visible aging process sets in. The crows feet, brittle nails, thinning hair and cellulite all become more visible as we age.
Not only does collagen affect our appearance, but it has a huge affect on our gut health as well.
Collagen helps repair bones and joints, it can ease arthritis, reduce inflammation and regulate how our bodies digest all of this wonderful keto food we eat!
Collagen has also been proven to help with brain function, and at this point in time, a clear mind is exactly what I need.
What is Collagen?
The easiest way to explain it is that it’s a protein we already have in our body, it’s literally the glue that holds everything together and It repairs damaged cells.
Why Now With Keto?
Chances are, you weren’t proactive with your collagen supplements. Things like sun exposure, pollution, smoking, alcohol, and sugary foods have all contributed to your decline at this point, so let’s see how much we can reverse by adding supplements NOW? I mean, if I had known in my 20’s what I know now – I would have been all over collagen. But if you’re like me, here we are doing the best we can with what we have!
Weight loss, especially a loss that happens quickly can leave sagging skin.
Supplements will help prevent this, and will help our bodies repair this faster. Any dramatic change in our diets can cause our digestive systems to go a little haywire too, and collagen will help us to remain feeling good while our bodies adjust.
What’s My Collagen Secret?
Well, my secret is that I have no secret.
I love my collagen products so much that I couldn’t even choose just one if I wanted to. There are a few Keto friendly supplements I to support my own collagen needs; take liquid collagen called Trim (sort of like a pudding) that supports weight loss, I have collagen cream and serum, I live for my bone broth (which I’ll save for another blog!), and I have other liquid collagen called Biocell Pure that is used monthly to aid in digestion, hair loss prevention and added energy.
I love to share all of my tips and tricks, we all know I’ve made my share of mistakes along the way. I’m happy to have made them if it means it will save you the hassle! If you haven’t joined my Ucanketo group, come on over!
We have so much to share with you!

p.s. Make sure you’ve downloaded my Keto Guide to help YOU get started (or restart) on your Keto Journey
Thank you so much for sending
I have used Trim for two months now. Have used bone broth for two years. I no longer have flakey scalp , dry skin and skin seems firmer. I like to make my own bone broth and add different flavors.
Thank you I have recently been looking at collagen. Very helpful in my search.
Just started using collagen. Thanks.
Amy I’d like to learn more about these collagen products.
Sure! The website I included above but please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Facebook
I need to learn more about collagen also.
Thank you Amy….I think I need to add a bit more collagen to my routine
Thank you so much for your abundance of information. I can’t wait to get my newest products from modere that just launched & I totally love my trim 🥰
Love this! Am going to order biocell and I already use Trim and love it just wish blackberry was back 💥
I know!! I will pass this on and who knows what we might see down the road
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and lessons, so I don’t have to try to find it all on my own. I cannot wait to start using Trim and am anxious to order some Pure!!
Thank you Amy! Love love love my Trim, Pure and K&F 💜
I been taking logic coffee and logic cream for over a year I really have seen the difference on my hair for sure. My husband is amazed at my full set puffy hair 😍. Thank you for introducing me to Modere
I enjoyed reading this, will up
My collagen intake
Has it helped with loosing weight and stomach fat?
I do get trim and just started taking pure
Love the Trim
I really appreciate everything you do and say it keeps me going
I have recently tried a powdered collagen supplement?? I mix it in my coffee.
Nice! I do want to mention though a liquid is often a better choice. The powdered has been a culprit in causing weight loss stalls — so just be mindful!
Trim is great!!! Biocell will be on my list next.
Thank you Amy!!
I just started adding collagen to my way of life. The question I have is this: can you get too much? Too little? What are you thoughts? Thanks! I love UCANKETO!
Like anything, I always recommend you listen to your body.If ever concerned just double check with a doctor. With my routine the docs say I’m good to go – but with any supplement you should only consume what’s recommended on the package.
Great article!
Collagen has helped my skin, nails, and hair
I do need to be more consistent with the collagen (kettle and fire and trim). I have been way too slack.
I am going to order this soon! Excited to try it!
Love this!!! Thank you sooooo much for such quick but great detailed information!!!! ❤❤❤
I had surgery in November and my anticipated down time was 3-4 weeks and possibly longer. When I saw my surgeon at 2 weeks out he was impressed with my wound healing and told me I could go back to work anytime.
Of course I credit this first to prayer and secondly to the trim/pure.
Thanks for sharing these good things with me!!
Wow that’s amazing!!
I use the Trim but not every day. Trying to find a flavor I really like. I am a bit picky.
consistency with any supplement is super important!
I’m drinking powder collagen every morning in coffee and just purchase the biocell collagen. So not sure it’s better than the powder or should I take both at same time.
I wouldn’t take both personally – stick with the liquid
Thank you Amy, for all the great information!
Wow! I never knew how many functions collagen have in our bodies!
Thanks for the info😊
Love Trim and Biocell Pure.
Use biocellPure
awsome
I use modere logique and use collagen peptides throughout the day. I use bone broth for my kickstarts and I am a huge fan. I can see and feel a difference in my skin, nails, joints, inflammation! Wonderful stuff!
Great information! Thank you!!!
I really need to get some collagen in my life. Thanks for the information!
Since beginning Collagen I’ve noticed less aches and pains!
I’m 63 and have used collagen for about 3 years now. I’m hoping it’s slowing down the wrinkles!! I also have Fibromyalgia and notice a difference in my pain when I don’t take it.
I wish your products were sold in Canada too. I know you can’t put a price on your health, boat physical and mental, but it does add up pretty fast with exchange and shipping.
Thank you for all you do. You are one of a kind!!!
They are sold in Canada and most in Canadian Dollars (and shipping is free over $99) Let me know how I can help and thank you for sharing!
Love my trim, and just reordered this week. The shipping to Canada is 9.99. My order was over 139.00 with my smart ship savings.
With tax and shipping 158.00 CAD for 1 trim and Body Butter.
If you’re unsure about the total, connect with customer service — they’ll always make things right
Thank you Amy!! You are amazing!!
I was ordering the trim package but for some reason I can no longer get into the group push for better group so I haven’t ordered anything in awhile but I do agree trim helped me immensely and things have gone downhill. Have really missed the support and the Monday mindset and the cooking you and your sister do. Take Care I Care.
I’m not sure why you can’t access it? It’s called UCANKETO on Facebook (name changed over a year ago)
I love taking collagen. Been on it for a few years now , great for my nails skin hair , I have noticed a big difference. At 67 need all the help I can get, LOL
Since starting keto – the collagen supplements I have added to my health regime have made the most visible difference (inside and out)! My nails, hair and skin have benefited from the collagen. Thank you for making a difference in my life!!
Great information
Thank you Amy! I love all the free information you provide us with. It really helps me. I do use the trim and prebiotic the whole lean body system. I feel good thanks for all your support.
I take pure and trim everyday and have started bone broth K&F. I wonder about the different type collagen I, II and III. Which is the most important? Does Pure have all three?
You’ll find the breakdowns on the website (that way it’s accurate info)
You are my go to keto guru lol. You have evolved so nicely it’s been a pleasure being a part of your journey. I have fallen off the keto way of eating and need to get back on track but wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you do!
Great! Thank you
You’ve got that right about the sagging skin….good to know there are products out there that can help
As always good information
So thankful for all your insight, tips, tricks and recipes!!
Hi Amy! I totally agree with your trim recommendations. I have a little story. Last summer during Covid when I couldn’t get my trim anymore, I stopped taking it. Then I got a habit sense took me a long time to get it back again. The difference in my joints has been very significant. In the last three months I have spent hundreds of dollars on Physio for my knee. I am convinced that the difference has been not taking collagen. I did take some pure for a while but I didn’t find it as helpful. Anyway anxiously awaiting my trim and will probably take pure as well. I am 62 years old and my body it’s not making collagen anymore, so I feel that this is very important PS I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin as well way more crows feet. Thanks again Amy!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I love the trim. I noticed a difference in my cellulite within a week of starting to use it. At age 65 with a 35 pound loss, I really need collagen for my sagging, dull and crepey skin.
Love my Trim!
Hi I am loving the info…..I have the once a month 3 day cleanse packets.. however I have been a bit afraid to try them…what have others who used them had with experiences of cleansing…….I cant always be home and am worried about that being a issue……………
Thank you for sending all the information. I truly appreciate all your knowledge that you have. Unfortunately, I can not afford this Biocell. Can you recommend something else? I honestly feel like I’m fighting an uphill battle as it is or does that hurt your affiliation? If so, I get it if you can’t. You talk about it so much, it makes me feel like I’m going to fell.
Is Vital Protein not a good Collagen? Like you, I’ll have to do my own research.
The powdered collagens are often a culprit in keto for stalls etc. It’s why I’m so passionate about the liquid collagen.
Which product would you recommend to start with. I am on a fixed income and can’t afford all of them. I am 69 and have many wrinkles and elasticity. Thanks Amy.
The trim is among the top products as a starting point 🙂
I was taking a powder collagen switched to Trim , Pure & the creamer. Big difference in joint pain! Thank you Amy for everything you & your team do!
Thank you for the information. I’m just starting keto and there is so much to learn
This was a good reminder for me. Thank you! I just turned 60 and am trying to do anything to help with my skin and nails while I continue the keto woe.
Hi there. Just read your blog. Thanks for keeping us filled in Amy. We all need each other. Darlene
Thanks for being YOU!,
Love the blackberry Trim. I must have missed how to order the new sleep aid. Can you please let those of us missed out post the info again.
Just visit modere.com/Ucanketo and type in sleep in the search bar – should come up. If not please let me know
Thank you! Good information.
I’m just starting to learn about this. Due to health issues and medications I’d like to discuss with physicians before starting a regimen
Thanks for sharing Amy. Information is quit accurate
Amy, how often and how much Pure do you recommend? I take Trim in the mornings.
I take a TBSP before bed since I take the trim in the morning
Thank you for the information! I have learned so much from you!
Just ordered the Liquid Biocell Skin
The Pure is the one for Keto … the skin you’ll find has a lot of natural sugars so you will want to be mindful how your body reacts.
How long does one bottle of Trim last?
It’s a month supply ma’am
I really appreciate everything you do and say it keeps me going
I really was not sure the trim was helping with my success on Keto, so I fell off and stopped using the trim. I have been back taking the trim every day for a month!!! And definitely helps !!
Thank you so much! I just ordered the collagen pure really need to start it
I have been taking collagen in my tea every morning.I have noticed a difference I my nail growth,my hair, and the arthritis I my finger does not hurt as much. Thank you for all the information you provide for us.
You always have great advise for us.
I’ve always had to do my own research during my health journey. Thanks for you and your team for doing the research we can rely on.
Thank you Amy, Great information!
Thank you! I do the pure and it works and I have the lemon trim..
Hi Amy! I use trim every morning along with burn. I just received my order of pure! My question is…do I take a tablespoon of pure every night?
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info!
I have seen multiple articles about adding collagen to our diets. I use the Logiq creamer and drink bone broth. What are some other foods containing collagen we can add to our regular diets?
Thank you Amy for all you do for me personally. Your meal plans are wonderful, balanced, and delicious. 🙂 I appreciate you and your team.
Do you take the Biocell daily?
I’ve tried Trim and Biocell Pure. I really liked the Biocell
Yes ma’am, I take it in the evening. Daily consistency is important
Love all your information and help !!!
Thank you , great info.
This was so helpful and now I understand more than ever the importance to stay with a good collegian routine… Thank you for all you do do this community
I absolutely love my Trim!
I love the trim. Lemon and chocolate are my favorite flavors. Thanks Amy.
Thank you for sharing this.
Has anyone tried Divine Health’s Collagen? Id like to know how that measures up to others who understand collagen. Thanks for any opinions.
Thank you for your comment. I don’t recommend the powdered collagen personally. The liquid collagen is what I use and endorse based on the patents and overall results. I’ve seen in my keto community how many people have been stalled using powdered collagen. I’m not totally familiar with the one you’re asking about though.
Thank you so much for the great info!💜
I couldn’t do keto successfully without you and your community. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
HI Amy, I am very grateful for your vulnerability. Sharing your story. If I take Trim (1x day)
Biocell (2xday)
Logic Coffee + MCT Oil Powder
That is more than 50% of my 20 net carbs. Does that sound right?
I suggest increasing to 25G net carbs with supplements holding the bulk at 20 because, they are nutritional and how the process through the body is much different than other ‘carbs’ hope that makes sense.
It’s very straightforward to find out any topic on net as compared to textbooks,
as I found this post at this site.
Look at my blog – Lipotril Ingredients (kebe.top)
