Who should not take this product without consulting a doctor? — Collagen Peptides, Powder, Niksen, 360 g.

NIKSEN Kollageeni pepriidide pulber is a food supplement, not a medicine. Nevertheless, a number of situations call for a prior discussion with a doctor or pharmacist.

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: the manufacturer does not recommend use during this period.
• Increased sensitivity to components: if you have an allergy to fish or seafood (collagen is often sourced from marine sources), it is worth checking the origin of the collagen in the formula before buying.
• Teenagers: nutrient needs during growth differ from those of adults, so the choice of a supplement for a child or teenager is best discussed with a paediatrician.
• Chronic conditions and medication: some vitamins can interact with medicines — for example, vitamin D3 requires blood-level monitoring in certain conditions.

For healthy adults with no contraindications, the product is positioned as an addition to a balanced diet and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
