What you need to know about marine collagen and pregnancy.

Marine collagen is a supplement that benefits your body in several ways from strengthening your bones to encouraging muscle and skin repair. Of course, if you are pregnant and breastfeeding, it is natural to be curious as to whether your liquid collagen supplement will have any effects on your child. Here is what you need to know about Kollo marine collagen supplements and pregnancy.

Is marine collagen safe to take while pregnant?

Collagen is a natural protein in our body, and the simple extra supplementation of this shouldn’t cause any negative impacts for you or your child. However, if you have any concerns, we recommend talking to a health practitioner.

What are the benefits of marine collagen for pregnancy?

Skin repair

As collagen is used to repair skin cells and synthesis new ones, it can be particularly useful in reducing the appearance of stretch marks that occur during pregnancy.

Supporting a baby takes its toll on your energy levels. Your body needs to produce enough nutrients to supply both you and your baby. Glycine, one of the amino acids found in collagen, is efficient in providing energy to your cells which aids your body with all the new demands that pregnancy creates.

Healthy skin, hair, and nails

For some women, pregnancy can result in weak and brittle nails. Collagen supplements can help increase the body’s own natural collagen production, and efficient levels of collagen provide the proteins your skin, nails and hair need to be strong and healthy.

Liver support

The liver is the organ in the body that detoxifies and manages your body’s waste. When you are supporting a baby, there is extra waste for your liver to work through. Glycine, found in collagen, is a precursor to glutathione which is essential for the pathways in the liver to run efficiently.

Joint support

While your body is supporting extra weight, this can put tremendous pressure on your joints and bones. The peptides in collagen promote joint health through increasing bone density and enhancing mobility.
