Hello,
With the question "Can women who are breastfeeding take collagen and vitamin E?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
For collagen, you are only allowed to use it if you know for sure that the ingredients are of natural origin, of clear origin and are recommended to be used for women who are taking manufacturer's breast milk. Similar to vitamin E, it can be used by lactating women at the manufacturer's recommended dosages for breastfeeding women.
If you still have questions about taking collagen and vitamin E, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
