Collagen during pregnancy and breastfeeding is a topic many new mums are curious about. From helping with skin elasticity to easing joint discomfort, collagen can offer support during some of the most physically demanding stages of life. But is it safe?
Can You Take Collagen While Pregnant?
While every pregnancy is unique, hydrolysed collagen, like the kind found in Be Bright's Original Collagen, is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. It’s a pure, protein supplement that supports your body's natural repair processes. Still, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before introducing any new supplements.

After birth, your body enters a recovery phase. This is when collagen can help with tissue healing, joint support, and maintaining skin elasticity. For breastfeeding mums, Be Bright’s formula is clean, flavourless, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine –in coffee, smoothies, yoghurt or oats.
