Because of its long history in food use, hydrolysed collagen is classified as a food ingredient or product and therefore there is no restriction on use in risk groups like pregnant or breastfeeding women.

However, as a precaution, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding it is advisable to check with your doctor before taking any product. We recommend sensitive groups choose COLPROPUR CARE for the same reason.

COLPROPUR CARE basically comprises COLPROPUR D® pure hydrolysed collagen, a natural product that can be taken on a continual basis every day with full confidence and that does not cause allergies or unwanted effects.

Despite its high level of safety, the presence of magnesium salt in COLPROPUR ACTIVE makes it not recommendable for magnesium-salt intolerant persons.

The recommended dose has a very small number of calories (max. 42Kcal) out of the 2,000 Kcal an adult should consume each day, making it unlikely to make you gain weight.

No. Patients in clinical studies with hydrolysed collagen showed no appearance or worsening of this problem.

Although protein-rich diets can cause constipation, this effect only comes about if there is not enough fibre or fat, as constipation is caused by the lack of the latter rather than by proteins per se.

COLPROPUR supplements are not drugs but foodstuffs so as long as you don’t have a serious illness they can be taken without having to consult your doctor.

However, if you have a serious illness or any important health-related question, you should always ask your specialist.

We advise taking 10 grams of COLPROPUR D® hydrolysed collagen everyday (the entire content of the dosing unit), preferably with breakfast, dissolved in a liquid food of daily consumption: animal or plant milk (on its own or with coffee, cocoa, etc.), a smoothie, yoghurt, tea, juice, water…

Smaller quantities may mean you don’t get the desired effect, whereas 10 grams per day of hydrolysed collagen is a completely safe amount providing 16% of the daily protein recommended by the World Health Organization for an adult.

Although COLPROPUR supplements present no health risk, take an excess of any food or nutrient could be harmful. As a precaution, we recommend against regularly exceeding the recommended dose as the effects at higher amounts have not been studied and the desired results are easily obtainable taking the recommended dose and following a varied and balanced diet.

COLPROPUR products can be taken continuously and do not require a break. It is important to bear this in mind because as with all nutrients, the benefits of COLPROPUR are only maintained so long as you keep taking it.

Because it is a foodstuff and there is no unwanted effects from hydrolysed collagen, COLPROPUR can be taken at any age. However, when used by infants under 2 years of age, we recommend the simplest form of administration, the COLPROPUR CARE, as a precaution.

The effectiveness of a product based on collagen protein activity does not depend on the species or tissue of the source animal but rather the percentage of protein it contains and the degree of assimilation (hydrolysis).
