I was taking collagen supplements for my skin and hair before i found out i was expecting. Now i stopped bcoz im not sure if its safe to continue. Anyone checked with their doctor about this?
I leaned towards getting it from food, like citrus fruits and dal for protein, rather than capsules. Felt safer that way. For any actual supplement, definitely run it by your doctor.
I was tempted to take collagen for skin and stretch marks honestly, but there isnt much pregnancy research on supplements. My doctor said get collagen naturally from food like bone broth, eggs and citrus instead. Please dont start any supplement without asking your gynac.
I usually take collagen for my joints, but during pregnancy I paused it and asked my doctor first. She preferred I focus on protein rich food and stay active with light walks she approved. Better safe than sorry with supplements yaar.
