Question 4

Is it okay to take collagen supplements is i take metropol and atorvastin for heart issues?

Accepted Answer

Since these supplements are not investigated by the FDA physicians are reluctant to endorse them as there is concern about possible contaminants that could interact with medications. Also the proper doses are not really known and there is some doubt about their efficacy.

I am having a really bad odour no matter how much i take care of myself. is my body trying to tell me that theres sonething wrong or its because of lthe food i eat. i am a 38yo mom. i am taking collagen and vit. c supplements. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

You don't say the apparent source of the odor. Bad breath? Intestinal gas and feces? Body odor? Vaginal odor? All have different causes, and sometimes no cause can be identified.  If body, breath, etc see your doctor for a general health check-up. If vaginal, get checked for bacterial vaginosis and other genital infecstions.

Question 7

Is it ok to take a few different collagen supplements along with a tradition hair, skin and nails. or is it too much?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure that oral collagen supplements will do anything and topical collagen is not absorbed.  No one is injecting collagen any more, as it has fallen out of favor.  Biotin is a good supplement for hair and nail health- 2.5mg daily (what you don't use you pee out). Your pcp should be able to assist with supplements or a personal trainer/nutritionist.

Question 8

I bought collagen supplements that say it has collagen + biotin to help with hair, skin and nails. will it be effective or wont do much? dont know if i should take them or return?

Accepted Answer

The biotin will help a little, if there is a sufficiently high dosage, but oral collagen is useless for hair and nails.  Get your money back and buy pure biotin, a minimum of 5000 units/day.  If that is ineffective, see a dermatologist for a complete evaluation.

Question 9

I am a 40 year old very active woman who would like to start a vitamin regimen.  can you take collagen supplements,  biotin, prenatal or multivitamin ?

Accepted Answer

I started working on Vitamin D many decades ago. Many people - doctors included - recommend many vitamin supplements but I doubt that is helpful.
Eat properly, take one tablet (1000 mg) of vitamin D daily, and you will enjoy every bit of the rest of your life.

Question 10

I recently started taking a collagen drink which has many other vitamins and supplements. i feel great but my concern is that after i take the drink i totally forget about food for the whole day. is this normal or should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body involved in the formation of bone, cartilage, muscles, tendons and even the largest organ in the body, the Skin. Because of it's fiber-like structure it tends to swell and give the sense of fullness. One should pay attention to having enough calories from the major food groups- Carbohydrate, Fat & Protein- before having a collagen drink.
