What are the causes of acne after taking collagen powder?

After women turn 25, their body functions begin to decline, especially the loss of collagen in the skin. As a result, women's skin will have many problems, such as dehydration, lack of elasticity, dull skin, etc. This shows the importance of collagen to women. Therefore, for the sake of their skin condition, many women will subconsciously supplement collagen. However, there is relatively little collagen in the diet, so consuming collagen powder has become the choice of many people. However, some people get acne after eating collagen powder. What is the situation?

Reasons for acne after eating collagen powder:

1. You take 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 the 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, excluding 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.

3. 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. Therefore, we generally recommend that you add collagen powder to fruit juice or vegetable juice when taking it, which will help it to be absorbed by the human body.

What are the causes of acne after taking collagen powder? Looking at the introduction above, we found that there are three reasons for this situation. There are reasons related to the protein powder itself and reasons related to the user. Therefore, people must listen to the opinions of professionals when taking collagen powder, and also choose big brands and good quality collagen powder, which will be better for their skin.
