Collagen during pregnancy and nursing

Probably the most common question on our social channels, and in our inbox, is whether you can take our collalloc during pregnancy or while nursing. 

Collagen, as the most abundant protein in the body, forms the foundation of healthy hair, teeth, joints, skin and nails. During pregnancy the body has increased nutritional demands, which is why many women choose to supplement marine collagen to make up for any deficit and protect skin health.

collalloc is subject to strict safety and quality controls. Every batch is filtered and purified during production to ensure it contains no impurities such as microplastics, and is laboratory-tested for heavy metals, moulds, salmonella and other microorganisms or toxic substances. We also hydrolyse our marine collagen, which ensures you get a supplement with the highest bioavailability and the correct amino-acid profile needed to deliver visible results.

While many women among collalloc users safely take and very much value natural marine collagen during pregnancy and nursing, clinical testing has only been carried out on women who are not pregnant. It is therefore always best to consult your doctor about whether you can take collagen during pregnancy. During nursing, use is considered safe.

Keeping care of your body safe and effective during pregnancy (and in this case especially your skin and hair) comes down to informed choices and simplicity. Prioritise skin health by consulting your doctor, using gentle products, and protecting yourself from sun exposure. 

If you are considering collagen supplementation, get advice from your doctor and choose a clean, high-quality marine collagen. With these good habits you can glow with confidence during pregnancy while ensuring the best care for yourself and your baby.
