Can you take collagen and creatine together?
Yes, you can. That's why they are combined in one serving here instead of in two separate containers.

Daily Essentials by GEN
You train seriously, you read labels, and your kitchen counter is now covered with five tubs, each requiring its own scoop. Daily Essentials is a collagen creatine powder that combines all those tubs into a 30-gram serving. Made for athletes who want multiple ingredients in a single serving.
What's in a 30-gram serving
Each scoop provides 10,500 mg of collagen peptides, 40 mg of native type II collagen, 3,000 mg of creatine, 5,000 mg of L-glutamine, 3,500 mg of L-leucine, and 3,000 mg of L-glycine. That's plus 200 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium, 100 mg of magnesium, and 100 mg of vitamin C. If you add that up, more than 25 of the 30 grams are made up of these ingredients. The rest is flavoring, an acid regulator, and a sweetener. This is immediately noticeable when you compare the label to that of an average collagen powder: most tubs in the Netherlands provide 5 to 6 grams of peptides per serving, while this one provides twice as much. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In this product, it is provided in the form of magnesium citrate.
Two types of collagen in one formula
This formula contains two different types of collagen, and the difference between 10,500 mg and 40 mg is no oversight. The largest amount is beef collagen hydrolysate: collagen that has been broken down into short peptides. The 40 mg of Collavant® n2 is different. It is native type II collagen from chicken cartilage that has not been hydrolyzed. In addition, each serving contains 100 mg of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones, and skin.
Why it contains exactly 3,000 mg of creatine
Creatine increases physical performance during repeated short bursts of very intense physical exertion. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine; the claim is aimed at adults who engage in very intense sports. One serving provides exactly those 3 grams. And to the question many people ask whether collagen and creatine can be taken together in a single serving: yes, there is no reason to take them at different times.
From five tubs to one scoop
Add up what's in one scoop here: collagen peptides, native type II collagen, creatine, glutamine, leucine, glycine, and an electrolyte base. Bought separately, that's six or seven tubs, scooping six times a day, and six different expiration dates. Creatine and collagen are intended for daily use. A powder with everything in one scoop is therefore particularly practical.
Daily Essentials is not a basic powder you grab and then forget about. It is a collagen creatine powder for athletes who are increasing their training volume. This tub has a honeydew melon flavor, and there is also a kiwi version, so you can alternate after thirty days.
Why Daily Essentials by GEN?
10,500 mg of collagen peptides per serving
Most collagen powders on Dutch shelves provide 5 to 6 grams per serving, so feel free to compare the labels.
40 mg Collavant® n2 per serving
Collavant® n2 is native type II collagen from Bioiberica. You can trace the brand, raw material, name and origin yourself, but not with generic "type 2 collagen".
3,000 mg creatine per serving
Creatine increases physical performance during repeated short bursts of very intense physical activity. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, and this serving provides exactly 3 grams, as creatine monohydrate.
Thirty servings, thirty days, one jar
900 grams amounts to exactly one month's daily use, with no residue left at the bottom. You only need to reach for one jar instead of six.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between collagen peptides and native type II collagen?
Collagen peptides are broken down into small pieces of beef collagen (10,500 mg per serving). Native type II collagen from chicken cartilage is not hydrolyzed (40 mg per serving). They are two different ingredients that are included together in the formula.
How long do you use this product?
It is intended for daily use: 30 grams per day according to the recommended use. One jar contains 30 servings.
Will creatine make you retain water and gain weight?
You may gain half a kilo to two kilos in the first few weeks; that is water weight, not fat. At 3 grams per day without a loading phase, this happens more gradually than with a 20-gram loading protocol. For weight-class athletes, it is important to take this into account beforehand.
Why is vitamin C in a collagen product?
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones and skin. With 100mg per serving, you are at 125% of the daily reference intake.
Does this powder replace my protein shake?
No, and that’s no minor detail. Collagen is an incomplete protein: it contains no tryptophan and hardly any other essential amino acids. Think of this as a supplement to your whey or meals, not a replacement for them. You can, however, use it to save yourself the trouble of carrying around a separate tub of creatine.
