Can this collagen be taken together with other supplements — for example, vitamin C or biotin?

Vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of collagen in the body: it is necessary for the normal functioning of the enzymes that “cross-link” collagen fibres. That is why it is often taken together with collagen peptides — as part of the overall diet. If vitamin C is already present in your diet or in other supplements, additional intake is worth discussing with a specialist so as not to exceed reasonable amounts.

Biotin (vitamin B7) is traditionally included in hair and nail care programmes, so combining it with collagen looks logical in terms of goals. However, biotin in high doses can affect the results of some laboratory tests — it is worth telling your doctor about it before a blood test.

The general rule when combining several supplements: the more products you take at the same time, the harder it is to track what exactly is having an effect and whether there are any undesirable interactions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have chronic conditions, it is recommended to consult a doctor before adding any new product to your diet.

The product contains bovine collagen — this is important to consider if you have a beef allergy or sensitivity to animal proteins; if an allergic reaction occurs, stop taking it.
