The choice between liquid collagen or powdered collagen is a personal one (but please read on because I do not recommend powdered personally). All of this new information on the importance of collagen in your diet is great! It helps from skin, to hair, to weight loss, and gut health. But with new information and science comes a little confusion as to which is the best way to add it to your diet.
The biggest decision is often made when you consider how taking it will fit into your daily routine, well, for me at least! So let’s consider a few options.
Powdered collagen:
Powder collagen is flavorless and can easily be added to smoothies, yogurt and coffee/creamer. Modere even has a delicious collagen packed coffee creamer called Logiq that pairs awesome with Logiq coffee (with added MCT oil!)
(click here to learn more about my Loqiq Duo!)
Powder collagen is favored by those who have a regimented morning routine for example. You get up and make a coffee, add your collagen, and go about your day. Which is why I love that my coffee already contains the patented collagen found in my liquid gold (more below!).
So what’s the downside? It can be clumpy or chalky if not mixed well (unless it’s a Modere product, just saying..) and it can be challenging to measure the perfect amount daily if you are someone who is on-the-go. Oh and the BIGGEST downside? I have watched countless people have their weight loss stalled when they are using things like collagen peptides for example.
Liquid collagen:
Or liquid gold as I like to call it! Liquid collagen is the most bioavailable way to consume collagen. With so many options available, liquid collagen has become a favorite of mine. Trim and Pure, both by Modere have become a staple in the Hightower household!

Liquid collagen options are a fun and flavorful way to consume collagen and get all of the benefits into your body in the easiest way possible.
So what’s the downside of liquid collagen? I don’t think there is a downside, but if I had to choose one or two it would be that not everyone loves the flavor of the liquid collagen options. They can also be tough to travel with.
The good news is that versatility is the name of the game! Between bone broth, collagen drinks, coffee’s and creamers – there is no reason you couldn’t fit collagen into any lifestyle or schedule!
Liquid Collagen Wins for me …
The truth is, consuming collagen stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, encouraging skin and tissue rejuvenation. The benefits on your gut health are a great way to naturally heal your gut and reduce inflammation in your body. These are both equally important pieces of our health journey! The fact that we can do ALL of this and remain Keto is encouraging to those of us who are on this journey to be in the best health we have ever known!
Whichever way you choose to enjoy collagen products is entirely up to you and your lifestyle. The cross between science and health has been bringing us the most convenient ways to ensure we are taking care of the most important person in our lives: Ourself.
So tell me this….
How do you prefer to enjoy your collagen?

Homemade bone broth for sure is my favorite! I feel like I’m getting so much more collagen from it when it gels up! I also think the taste is better than any store bought. Liquid gold for the win!
I do both for life flexibility! Great blog!
I eat the powder and it works for me.
That’s awesome — just sharing what I’ve seen in our community and personal experience 🙂
I love the liquid collegan (pure). Its quick and easy to take, no fuss. And the results are crazy amazing!! Thank you for all the studying you do and then give us the breakdown of it.
Thanks for this info!
I’ve been trying to choose.. thx for the info.
I been using modere logic cream and coffee for 2 years already, I also do bone broth powder chocolate flavor sooo good. I see the difference in my hair and skin
Great to compare the use of the collagen options with how they fit into each person’s daily regime
Love my liquid collagen
Thank you for this!
Always blessed to read your information..
I use a collegan peptide (powder). What is the issue with the collegan peptides
I use the powder but it has peptides.
Can you tell us why this is not good
Can you please answer about the peptides?
What is the question? If it is a powdered collagen I don’t recommend them at all. Hope that helps
Thanks for the info Amy. I just started adding bone broth to my health journey. I have also been using powdered collagen for a few months now. I love both and just feel amazing.
Where do you stand on collagen in pill form? Pros/Cons?
I still recommend liquid without question.
Love the Trim (peach or blackberry) and Pure. I also enjoy bone broth! Love my collagen❤️ Thanks Amy…
I am new to using Trim and Pure. I have tried several different powered types of collagen and didn’t notice a difference. I have noticed my knees do not hurt like they have been and I have lost 5 lbs . I am sticking with pure and trim for 6 months and see how much it helps me . Thank you for all the information.
This makes a lot of sense to me. My dad was big into supplements and always liquid for better absorption!
Great to know! Thanks for always sharing and helping us on our keto journey.
Thanks
Love the flavors of the liquid collagen, especially since I don’t drink coffee. After one month on Trim, my heels and elbows are no longer dry, my nails are growing and my hair is beginning to look shinier. Who knew?!
Love the liquid collagen, especially Trim and Pure. Unfortunately I cannot afford these products on a monthly basis. ☹️
Bone broth is the most affordable for me.
I’m doing the liquid collagen and trim every morning. Just started. Amy is this ok to do both?
Yes ma’am.
I am currently taking powdered Collagen Peptides. I did not realize it could possibly stall me. However I have 3 more bags since I bought in bulk to save a bit of money. After that I will def try something different.
Great insight for both powder and liquid. For me, bone broth and liquid collagen is best. I can’t handle powder.
Great blog…keep them coming 💜💜💜
I like the Kettle & Fire bone broth. The taste is good and I tolerate it better.
Any studies on this product from outside the manufacturer specifically or just general knowledge on the benefits of collagen?
Many studies (and patents) about the benefits of liquid over powdered. I appreciate everyone does what’s best for them and in my case the decision came before I heard any claims from the manufacturer. Hope that helps.
A cup of Kettle and Fire a day w a tsp of grass fed Ghee.
Hi Amy, I just began taking the Pure and Trim I am happy with both so far and will be ordering more. I also drink Kettle and Fire Bone Broth soups all at your suggestion. Thank you
Thank you for the information.
I would love to try the liquid collagen….I’ve been using the powder and it really does clump. Sounds like the liquid would absorb much quicker.
Thank you, for the info. I would love to try your products. Someday, I will get there. I use Kettle and Fire bone broth, thanks to you.
Thank you so much for that information. Very helpful in making my decision.
I used powdered collagen until I tried liquid, I’m sold on the liquid!!
I also use bone broth.
Great information Amy!
I just started Pure after using powdered collagen peptides. I would like a once a day collagen liquid or powder.
So if taking Pure twice a day and Trim once a day is that more collagen than necessary?
I appreciate the information about liquid vs powder collagen. Hope to one day be able to try the modere liquid but at this time it’s not budget friendly for me.
Presently a powdered Collagen peptide user, hoping to try the liquid Collagen soon.
Thanks for the info!
Hi Amy thank you again for all the valuable information you provided in your blogs. Currently I use powdered collagen but I will be trying liquid!
I cant give any comments because i have no acces to your FB
Hi Amy!
I’ve been using the chocolate trim and liquid collagen every day for a month now. Although it’s expensive I decided my health is worth re ordering and sticking with it. I love having this as part of my morning routine. I actually JUSTread that they recommend taking it 2 x a day. (Not the trim just the PURE) do you do twice daily?
Liquid collagen for me. My hair is actually thickening up and I love it.
Liquid for me!
I use the powder collagen in my coffee
