Who Should Take Collagen Gummies?
While there’s no guarantee that collagen gummies will be effective, adults who don’t have allergies to ingredients like egg and shellfish and who want to improve the appearance of their skin may want to talk to their dermatologist or doctor about collagen gummies. But know that collagen gummies typically contain sugar (one popular brand contains 4 g of added sugar). “So when monitoring daily added sugar intake, it’s a consideration,” says Retelny. If this is the case for you, you may want to think about a different form of collagen peptides, such as a plain powdered version, which often doesn’t contain sugar. And of course, those allergic to eggs or shellfish should take precautions, and people who are vegan or vegetarian will want to avoid collagen gummies because they are made from animal products. Last, women who are breastfeeding or nursing will likely want to avoid collagen supplements; talk to your doctor before taking them, as no research has been done in this area.
Are there side effects to collagen gummies?
Side effects are generally considered uncommon with collagen gummies. Collagen rarely interacts with medication; however, the gummies may contain additives that some people are allergic to, like shellfish or eggs. Talk to your doctor before taking collagen gummies.<br>
