I'm thinking about buying some protein powder over the weekend. At home I have a collagen powder I've used here and there that you can mix with your water, it's a supplement to help with hair, skin,and nails that type of thing.

Can I mix that collagen powder with my protein powder all in one shake and still get all the protein and supplements out of them?

Thanks!

    I often use different powders in my smoothies. Just weigh and log whatever you put in as per usual.

    But each works on their own, so will they still work when I mix them both together in a shake. Does mixing two different powders that have two different purposes change how they work when blended like that? That’s my main question.

    Nah. It's all just vitamins and minerals. Just double check that your powders and any other supplements aren't doubling up on certain ingredients, and not just in one drink, but across all your supplenents all day. Usually that's not a big deal, but some vitamins can make you pretty sick over time if you are overdosing.

    They will work the same whether blended together or taken separately.

    When i used collagen powder i always mixed it in with my regular smoothie which also included protein powder.

    Nope. By having 2 completely unrelated substances with in the same 2 minute span rather than consuming individually over a 5 minute span, they will cancel eachother out.
