Yes, it is safe to take pure collagen while breastfeeding. Collagen offers several potential benefits for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Especially when it comes to skin, hair and bone health.
Safety considerations while breastfeeding
While breastfeeding, you need to be cautious about what you put into your body. Certain substances can pass through your breast milk to your baby. Collagen is safe for consumption while you are breastfeeding.
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 while breastfeeding.
Benefits of taking collagen while breastfeeding
Collagen offers several potential benefits for breastfeeding mothers:
Enhanced skin health
Collagen supplementation can help maintain skin elasticity and hydration. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, many women are affected by hormonal changes. These hormonal changes can lead to dry skin, loss of elasticity, and the development of stretch marks. Collagen supports skin elasticity and hydration by providing essential building blocks for regeneration.
Improved hair and nail strength
Many breastfeeding mothers experience hair loss and brittle nails. This is often caused by hormonal changes and nutrient depletion while breastfeeding. Collagen contains amino acids which are essential for building strong, healthy hair and nails. By replenishing these nutrients, collagen supplementation can promote hair growth, and strengthen nails.
Increased bone health
Calcium demands are high when breastfeeding. Collagen plays an important role in supporting bone strength and density. Collagen contains specific amino acids which are essential for collagen synthesis in your bones. Supplementing your diet with collagen can help maintain optimal bone health during breastfeeding.
