Our collagen peptides for pregnancy help support your
changing body and your baby’s growth and development
Take on motherhood with confidence. Meet your increased nutritional needs with ease for improved skin elasticity, healthier postpartum hair, and optimal baby growth. Oh, and the lit-from-within glow you’ll get definitely won’t hurt, too.
Helps you meet your (increased)
daily protein needs
Protein requirements are greatly elevated through all four trimesters. During pregnancy, your body needs all those amino acids to build new cells for your baby and support your growing body.
Then, post-birth, those amino acids will also help you produce adequate amounts of breast milk, the ideal nutrition for your little one.
By providing you with at least 10 grams of Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides per serving, our products help you get those all-important proteins in. With ease.
Promotes optimal skin elasticity,
minimizing stretch marks
Your growing belly can stress the connective tissue (i.e., collagen and elastin) in the region. If they’re not “stretchy” enough, it’ll be like pulling apart a “stale” rubber band. The collagen fabric of your dermis layer will break easily, resulting in stretch marks.
Our collagen peptides help increase the number and activity of skin-elasticity-promoting fibroblasts — enhancing your skin’s ability to withstand stretching. And, in turn, preventing and minimizing the appearance of stretch marks.
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.
