Can You Take Alkaline Protease and Collagen Peptides Together?
Dose or timing may matter
The short answer
Alkaline Protease can further hydrolyze collagen peptides in the intestinal environment, potentially breaking them into individual amino acids before they can be absorbed as bioactive peptides.
How to arrange timing
Take Collagen Peptides at least 1 hour apart from Alkaline Protease to preserve their bioactive peptide structure.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
