My whole family has been taking collagen since it entered the market. My mum for eczema, my dad for his dark spots on legs due to diabetes, my brother for eczema when stressed and my husband when he is feeling under the weather and of course myself. I took it during pre-pregnancy and also during my 2nd trimester when I got pregnant. Am somehow prone to flu during my pregnancy. Took it everytime I felt under the weather. During my 3rd trimester and towards the last month, I started having rashes on both sides of belly, back, arms, thighs, folds of both arms. Had insomnia and kept scratching at night. Took collagen and increased the intake when the itchiness gets unbearable. Collagen has been my lifesaver and definitely my faithful companion during my pregnancy!!!
