Can I take marine collagen and Whey protein if I want to get pregnant?

Hello Mrs., and congratulations on your pregnancy!

There is no problem with taking a protein supplement during pregnancy, but make sure that your supplement does not contain ingredients that have not been proven safe during pregnancy or impurities.

For marine collagen, unfortunately we do not have enough data on the safety of this type of supplement to recommend it during pregnancy (or breastfeeding for that matter). I therefore recommend that you do not consume it.

I hope this has been helpful to you, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
