Question 8

drinks vitamens collagen is it ok for preggi?

Accepted Answer

It's unclear: It's likely fine as your body's digestive enzymes will likely break down the collagen and render it rather harmless.  One issue that could come up is related to the additionally vitamins involved.  As long as the drink isn't 'super' supplemented, in term of 1000X recommended doses of various vitamins, you should be OK. When in doubt, just avoid it as it likely hasn't been studied in pregnancy.

TripToTheGlueFactory: If you want to ingest something of dubious benefit that is produced from the hoofs of animals(and other tasty animal products)go ahead,it won't harm you if it's produced according to the usual health regulations.But don't put too much value on it other than as a source of a protein complex that will be broken down in the stomach and then absorbed.Always ask "will this make it to where I want it?"
