Hello to you! I've been wondering for some time about the preservation of a beautiful skin when it comes to the use of Biotin in gummies or Collagen in supplements that can be found in different forms, powders or capsules. Hello! I take iron (300mg) 2 co , Omega 3 (1 capsule) and vit D in the morning. Thank you so much! I was also wondering if Collagen in supplementation was useless to take since our body makes it and it would be less well absorbed by it? Thank you so much! This confirms what I thought! A great day to you! And thank you for your valuable advice!

Safe and effective skin products or vitamins?

Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Are you taking any other medications or natural health products/over the counter medications?

Thank you for your question!

Hello!

I take iron (300mg) 2 co , Omega 3 (1 capsule) and vit D in the morning.

Thanks for the feedback!

I don't see a problem with taking the supplement. That being said, non-pharmacological measures are the ones to consider:

Avoid the application of scented creams or products as well as the use of scented soaps. Always protect your skin from the sun, even in winter, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Sincerely

Good question!

By the way, collagen is a very large molecule, and I can hardly see how it can be absorbed from the digestive system through the bloodstream. I don't recommend this kind of product, but it can be tried without expecting miracles.
