Most people tolerate marine collagen well, but experiences can vary. The information below outlines common reactions, allergy considerations, and when to seek advice.
Overview
Collagen is a dietary supplement made from proteins that support the body’s connective tissues. Simply Collagen uses hydrolysed marine collagen peptides and routine batch testing to verify purity and consistency. Collagen supplements are not medicines and are intended to complement a balanced lifestyle.
Common Experiences
Some individuals may notice mild digestive changes when starting collagen, including a feeling of fullness, temporary bloating, or a change in bowel habits. These effects often settle after a few days. Taking collagen with food, increasing water intake, or starting with a smaller serving before gradually increasing may improve comfort.
Allergies & Ingredients
Allergen information: Contains fish. May contain traces of crustaceans. Do not use if you have a known allergy to fish or shellfish. Stop use immediately and seek urgent medical care if you develop signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, hives, itching, swelling of the lips, face, or tongue, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
Medications & Health Conditions
Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or nursing, have kidney or liver disease, follow a protein-restricted diet, have a history of kidney stones, or take prescription medicines. If you are scheduled for surgery or have chronic health conditions, professional guidance is recommended.
Who Should Consult a Healthcare Professional
Seek advice prior to use if you are under 18, managing ongoing medical conditions, taking regular medications, or unsure how collagen fits your nutrition plan. Professional guidance can help determine whether collagen is suitable for your situation.
Using Collagen Safely
Follow the serving directions on the label and avoid exceeding the recommended daily amount. Begin with a half serving for several days before increasing to a full serving. Maintain good hydration. If discomfort persists, reduce the amount or discontinue and consult a healthcare professional.
When to Stop & Seek Advice
Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent gastrointestinal discomfort, severe headache, allergic symptoms, or any unexpected or concerning effects after taking collagen.
