Supplements for Pre and Post Pregnancy
Helps you meet your (increased)daily protein needs
Protein needs increase throughout pregnancy and after birth as your body supports your baby's growth, your own changing body, and breast milk production.
Providing 10g of hydrolysed collagen peptides per serving, our products offer an easy way to boost your daily protein intake during this important time.
Promotes optimal skin elasticity,minimising stretch marks
As your belly grows during pregnancy, the skin’s collagen and elastin are placed under increasing strain. If these tissues can’t stretch effectively, stretch marks may develop.
Our collagen peptides help support fibroblast activity, promoting skin elasticity and resilience to help minimise the appearance of stretch marks as your body changes.
Counters postpartum hair loss
Beyond supporting optimal scalp hair, Collagen peptides also provide your body with the amino acids it needs to produce keratin. That’s the protein that makes up your hair. So, essentially, Collagen peptides could help you create new hair that'll counter the normal but much-dreaded postpartum hair loss.

Your most asked questions
Is collagen safe during pregnancy?
Collagen is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement. Look for high-quality, unflavoured hydrolysed collagen peptides without additives.
What are the benefits of collagen in pregnancy?
Collagen supports skin elasticity, helping to prevent stretch marks. It also strengthens joints and ligaments, supports healthy hair and nails, and contributes to the gut lining and immune health for both mother and baby.
Can collagen help postpartum recovery?
Yes, collagen aids tissue repair, supports healing after childbirth, and replenishes nutrients lost during pregnancy. It may also improve skin recovery and hair regrowth post-birth.
What type of collagen is best for pregnant women?
Hydrolysed bovine or marine collagen peptides are best, ideally from grass-fed or wild-caught sources. They offer high purity, good absorption, and essential amino acids.
How should collagen be consumed during pregnancy?
Add collagen to morning smoothies, porridge, or water. A daily dose of 10g is typically safe and beneficial, but always follow professional medical advice.
