Collagen is nowadays favored by countless women. When it comes to whitening and moisturizing the skin, collagen powder always comes to mind. It has become the first choice for beauties to protect and improve their skin. Can pregnant women take collagen? How can they safely consume collagen during pregnancy? Some pregnant women want to continue taking collagen during pregnancy and may worry about whether it is safe to do so while expecting.

Editor's response: Pregnant women are advised not to take collagen. If a pregnant woman really wants to take collagen, it is recommended to choose high-purity, additive-free collagen that contains no hormones or fat, which would be safer. Additionally, the dosage must be controlled well; the optimal daily intake should not exceed 5 grams to avoid excessive nutrition for the baby.

Yishengmei Collagen uses imported raw materials from Japan 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 directly using the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) method, with an average molecular weight of only 500 daltons, allowing it to be absorbed directly by the skin without being digested by the gastrointestinal tract or liver, thus penetrating into the dermis and even subcutaneous tissue to truly replenish the loss of skin collagen; the unique ultra-microencapsulation technology developed jointly by Yishengmei's research team and Japanese partners extends the half-life of collagen active factors, maximizing the retention time of collagen protein after synthesis in the body, thereby achieving the special effect of long-lasting beauty!

75% of our skin's dermis is composed of collagen, forming a network structure that provides tension and elasticity to the skin. Moreover, collagen in the dermis serves as a nutrient supply station for the epidermis and its appendages (hair) and delivers 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 its elasticity and luster, and keeps the skin smooth and fine. The two key factors for healthy skin—anti-wrinkle and hydration—are both related to collagen.

Collagen is an essential component for human growth. As long as it is consumed in appropriate amounts and correctly, it will not have any 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.
