Collagen is nowadays favored by countless women. When it comes to whitening and moisturizing the skin, collagen powder often comes to mind. It has become the first choice for beautifying and improving the skin for women. Can pregnant women take collagen? How can pregnant women safely consume collagen? Some pregnant women also want to continue taking collagen during pregnancy, and they may worry about whether it is safe to take collagen during pregnancy.
Editor's response: Pregnant women are best advised not to take collagen. If a pregnant woman really wants to take collagen, it is recommended to consume high-purity, additive-free, hormone-free, and fat-free collagen, which is relatively safer. Additionally, the dosage must be controlled well; the optimal daily intake should not exceed 5 grams to avoid over-nutrition in infants.
Yishengmei Collagen uses Japanese-imported raw materials and ranks among the top 10 collagen products in China. It is also the only domestic long-acting oligopeptide fish collagen. This product not only synthesizes oligopeptides that are easily absorbed by the human body using the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method, with an average molecular weight of only 500 daltons, allowing direct absorption by the skin without gastrointestinal or liver digestion, thereby penetrating into the dermis and even subcutaneous tissue, truly replenishing the loss of skin collagen; the Yishengmei research team and its Japanese partners have jointly developed unique ultra-micro encapsulation technology, extending the half-life of collagen active factors, maximizing the retention time of collagen protein after synthesis in the body, achieving special long-term beautification effects!
75% of our skin dermis is composed of collagen, where fibrous collagen forms a network structure providing tension and elasticity to the skin. Moreover, collagen in the dermis serves as a nutrient supply station for the epidermis and its appendages (hair), delivering moisture to the epidermis. Therefore, the importance of collagen to the skin is self-evident, as the growth, repair, and nutrition of the skin all depend on collagen.
Collagen makes cells plump, fills the skin, maintains skin elasticity and hydration, and keeps the skin smooth and fine. The two key elements of skin health—anti-wrinkle and moisturizing—are both related to collagen.
Collagen is an essential component for human growth. As long as it is taken in appropriate amounts and the correct methods are followed, it will not have negative effects on the body. Of course, what we are most concerned about is whether other components in the purchased collagen products might affect the health of pregnant women.
