2.5 Grams a Day: The Simplest High-Performance Supplement Protocol You've Never Tried
Most supplement routines fail for a boring reason: they are annoying. Too many scoops, too much taste, too much faff. FoYL's protocol is almost suspiciously simple - one level 2.5 gram dose a day - and the simplicity is not a compromise. It is the result of the science.
If you have used collagen before, you may have been told to take a heaped 10 gram scoop. There is a reason for that, and it is not flattering: when most of the collagen is large, mixed-size hydrolysate, you have to take a lot of it to compensate for how little is in a usable form. Volume is doing the job that quality should.
Why 2.5 grams is the dose, not a shortcut
FoYL is a pure bovine collagen tripeptide at 300 to 500 Daltons, more than 80% in true tripeptide form. When it was independently analysed by the University of Milan, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2025), the modelled profile predicted around five times higher total bioactivity per gram than conventional ~2,000 Dalton collagen. (Laboratory modelling of the peptide profile, not a clinical claim.)
Read that as a design principle: when the material is this concentrated and this small, you do not need a giant scoop to deliver a meaningful amount of usable collagen. The small dose is evidence of potency, not a lack of it.
The whole protocol, in one line
One level 2.5 gram dose a day - stirred into anything hot or cold, taste-neutral, no preparation. That is a roughly 40-day supply from a 100g bag. A maintenance routine of 1 gram a day stretches a bag to around 100 days.
Why effortless wins
Behaviour science is blunt about this: the easier an action is, the more reliably it happens. Every gram of effort you remove is a future day you do not skip. FoYL's format is engineered down to almost nothing:
- One small dose - no heaped scoops, no second serving.
- Taste-neutral - it disappears into coffee, tea, water, smoothies, soups.
- No preparation - stir and go, hot or cold.
- Pure tripeptides - no fillers, no additives; keto and carnivore compatible.
- Sachets if you want zero decisions - the daily sachets pre-measure the dose for you, at your desk or in your bag.
The consistency dividend
Collagen rewards the consistent, not the enthusiastic. A 10 gram ritual you abandon in a fortnight loses to a 2.5 gram habit you keep for a year - every single time. The point of a low-friction protocol is that it survives real life: the busy mornings, the travel, the weeks you cannot be bothered. That is where results actually come from.
One dose. No faff. The easiest habit you will actually keep.
P.S. If your last collagen needed a 10 gram scoop, that was the product telling on itself. A precise 2.5 grams of tripeptide is a different proposition entirely.
