Yes, it is safe to take pure collagen during pregnancy. Collagen offers several potential benefits for pregnant women, especially when it comes to skin, hair, and bone health.
Why collagen is safe during pregnancy
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in your body. When you consume collagen as a supplement, it is derived from animal sources such as bovine, marine, or poultry. Pure collagen supplements do not have any harmful additives or contaminants. This makes collagen safe for consumption during pregnancy.
Benefits of taking collagen during pregnancy
Collagen offers several potential benefits for pregnant women. Here’s a closer look at some of the potential benefits:
- Skin health and elasticity: As your body expands to accommodate your growing baby, your skin stretches significantly. Collagen can help to improve skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
- Joint and bone health: Pregnancy can put additional strain on your joints and bones. Collagen is a major component of cartilage, which cushions your joints. Collagen may help alleviate joint pain and support healthy bones.
- Hair and nail health: Many women experience changes in hair and nail health during and after pregnancy. Collagen plays a role in hair and nail growth. Collagen can help to improve hair strength and promote stronger nails.
