Collagen & Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

Consult Your Healthcare Provider First

According to Health Canada’s product monograph, pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming hydrolyzed collagen, as is standard for all supplementation.

The Benefits of Marine Collagen During Pregnancy

Hydrolyzed marine collagen can provide valuable support during pregnancy. One of its key amino acids, glycine, plays a crucial role in placenta development and fetal growth. Research suggests that expectant mothers have an increased need for glycine, which is naturally found in collagen-rich foods.

Postpartum Support & Recovery

Many new mothers find that marine collagen helps support skin hydration, elasticity, and hair and nail strength during the postpartum transition. As collagen production naturally declines with age and stress, supplementation can be a convenient way to help restore essential building blocks for recovery.

Pure & Simple for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

For a clean and uncomplicated supplementation routine, we recommend Pure Canadian Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. It contains no added ingredients—just wild, ultra-high purity marine collagen.

This premium collagen is free from hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and herbicides and undergoes rigorous testing for pathogens and heavy metals. For example, mercury tests negative at 0.005 ppm—100x below the Canadian limit for fish—in every lot.
