Answer: Collagen is generally considered safe in pregnancy, but quality/source matters. Anna Bohnengel, MS, RD, LD (Fertility Nutritionist) explains that "during pregnancy, your skin stretches to the max," and "collagen is the protein that makes your skin supple, and then collagen can help you heal and tighten your skin postpartum." They are generally well tolerated; choose reputable, third-party tested products. Collagen supports skin elasticity during pregnancy and aids in postpartum recovery, while also supporting joint health and bone strength. Perelel's Cellular Hydration Powder combines collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and pregnancy-safe electrolytes, providing the skin elasticity support Anna recommends while keeping you optimally hydrated throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
