Collagen supplements are handy little tablets, powder sachets, or liquid solutions that can be easily added into any daily routine – morning or night – that provide a whole host of benefits. Whether you are looking to strengthen hair and nail beds, help with the fading of acne scars or to aid in muscle recovery, you’ll find no shortage of people who swear by our Kollo Health collagen supplements. However, we understand there is likely to be some hesitation about adding collagen supplements into your routine. Are you sceptical as to whether they work? Worried about the potential side effects? Either way, we're here to answer your questions, are collagen supplements safe? 

Do collagen supplements really have added health benefits?

It has been reported for some years now by many credible healthcare professionals that there are several different health benefits to using collagen supplements. Running more than skin deep, collagen supplements are often recommended by medical sources to help with the build-up of muscle mass and to aid the health of joints.

Are there any side effects to be aware of when taking collagen supplements?

When taking collagen supplements, although they are considered to be non-toxic and completely safe to use, there are a few side effects that you should bear in mind. For one, a bad taste can sometimes be left in the mouth - that’s why we suggest putting them into a soup or a smoothie or trying a flavoured range. Taking collagen supplements can also leave you full. However, think of it this way - that they have the added potential of helping you shed those last few pounds! As collagen supplements are regularly made from ingredients coming from fishand other allergens such as eggs, it is wise to thoroughly check the type of supplement that you wish to use. This is to prevent any allergic reactions.

A final word

To conclude, although there can be some mild side effects to collagen supplements, on the whole, the benefits outway the negatives! You can rest assured that in most cases, collagen supplements are perfectly safe to take in moderation, for everyday use. It's also important to remember that absolutely everything has a small risk of a side effect, so you shouldn't be concerned. If you still have concerns, don't hesitate to contact our team at Kollo Health - we will be more than happy to help.
