It is always tricky to talk about safety of many products in pregnancy, due to ethical challenges involving research in pregnant people which therefore mean there are little to no studies available yet . However, given the massive abundance and predominance of collagen in our body and a higher need of collagen specific to this time in your life, it certainly seems possible and biologically plausible that collagen could be beneficial both during and post-pregnancy. In fact fertility Nutritionist Charlotte Grand has included our True Collagen as one of her recommended products in her book The Fertility Kitchen.
We recommend you always consult with your doctor or midwife about what supplements you take during your pregnancy. Only they, knowing your personal health history, will be able to give you the green light on making any changes in your nutrition during this time.
Collagen appears to be well tolerated and is thought of as a safe supply of important amino acids and protein and therefore likely to be safe to take. We suggest you are mindful of our blends which contain caffeine if you are monitoring your caffeine intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These include our coffee + collagen, cacao + collagen and our vegan blends which contain White Tea Extract.
