Why do I get acne after taking collagen?

Collagen is a very important substance in the human body. It can keep people's skin vibrant and elastic. Many people often stew pig's feet or make pig skin jelly at home just to supplement themselves with collagen. It can be seen that collagen is welcomed by many people. It is because of people’s expectations that many supplements that can supplement collagen have appeared on the market. Many people hope that eating collagen can make their skin better, but some people find that they get acne after eating collagen. What is the situation? Let’s talk about the reasons for getting acne after eating collagen.

Why do I get acne after taking collagen powder? Is it because of collagen or other reasons? Will eating collagen cause acne? Then you need to understand the following issues first:

1. If you do have acne (not blisters or red dots), it actually means that you have taken too much collagen, because collagen is also a protein, and it is high-protein. Eating too much can easily lead to overnutrition. What should you do with excess nutrition? It is excreted through the skin. If your pores are not able to excrete enough, you will get acne. If acne is caused by nutritional excess due to eating collagen, you can temporarily stop taking it or eat less.

2. If red spots or blisters appear instead of the above situations, a big reason is the purity of collagen. For example, the collagen is impure, hormones and some additives are added to the collagen products, causing adverse reactions on the skin! Collagen is an animal extract extracted from fish scales, pigs and cowhide, so it is a physiologically acidic food. If your constitution is highly acidic, the acid concentration in your body will be high after eating collagen, and red spots will appear on your face. Therefore, you should eat more vegetables and fruits, which are physiologically alkaline foods, to neutralize the excess acid in your body. Such people should eat more alkaline foods (for example, vegetables, fruits, etc. are mostly alkaline foods) while taking collagen.

Why do I get acne after taking collagen? Looking at the introduction above, we found that there are two reasons why people have such a situation.

It will be better for the body to use vegetable juice or fruit juice with collagen.
