Do you have a really bad condition? I hope not and if you do then I'm sorry. You can benefit from well balanced meals. Reading about vitamins, supplements and other stuff can make you paranoid. Ask your doctor to test your blood for deficiencies.

Question by Mikes: Is it safe to take Collagen vitamins with medication?
I take an anti depressant and a benzos for anxiety. I just purchased Collagen pills to clear up my skin but am worried if there are any side effects or if this is safe?

Your best (and safest) bet would be to ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you're taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not.... anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn't always accurate, as we all know) ;-)
I don't imagine there would be a problem as Collagen exists in many sources of meat so there would probably be a warning on the benzos about eating meat with them if there was a problem... but I don't have access to that database to verify so I would check with the doctor or pharmacist. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Is it safe to take collagen supplements?

Question by Carla S: Is it safe to take collagen supplements?
I´m 33 years old and I feel I´m losing the skin I once had in my youth. A friend of mine takes a collagen supplement and she really has a good skin, but I was wondering if it is safe, especially in the long term?

Absolutely! You already get collagen in other foods you eat like Jell-O, any of the slimy stuff that you find on meats, or many other sources, so it's perfectly safe to take a supplement form of it (which is typically a lot easier to take larger amounts of). It's great for skin health as well as joints and other connective tissues like ligaments and tendons.

It's been eaten for hundreds of years with various meat products and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been eaten for thousands of years... it's perfectly safe to take long-term
