How can I support my body in adjusting to your collagen?Updated a month ago

To help support your gut while taking collagen, here are some tips that may help:

- Start with a smaller dose (½ to 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to allow your digestion to adapt.

- Take it with food to aid digestion and minimise discomfort.

- Support digestion with natural enzymes - foods like pineapple, papaya, or taking a digestive enzyme supplement with food can help break down proteins and ease symptoms. 

- Stay hydrated - collagen draws in water, so drinking plenty of fluids supports digestion.

- Incorporate gut-friendly foods like fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and fibre-rich foods to promote a healthy microbiome.
