Talk to General Physician on Collagen Supplement

Asking for Mother Female 42 , Islamabad

I am 42 years old, I don't have any serious medical issues, just a pollen allergy and mild asthma due to pollen. I started Nutrifactor's collagen type 1 and 3 capsules once a day, before meal without any consultation. On the first day I felt nausea, a little sleepy, lethargy, bloated and reduced appetite. I want to ask will these symptoms go away after my body starts absorbing collagen? And is it safe to use collagen capsules? Any later impact on the kidney liver or heart?

Once daily is bare minimum dose. Firstly, why you taking it? Secondly, are you taking it correctly, half hour before meal?
Other health products can be tried for healthy skin. Contact for further options.

Another question doctor. For how long should we take collagen? And should we completely stop it after that or can we use it with some gap?
