Good morning

I read about the health benefits of collagen. I have been taking it, but started sleeping badly. I then looked it up in relation to taking thyroxine. Am I right in thinking it might have made me over medicated? I have stopped anyway, so see if this may be the case - best way!Just wondered if anyone had any anecdotes or similar experiences?

Collagen is just a protein that will be digested when you eat it - just like any other protein. It will provide you with some essential amino acids, but I seriously doubt if it will have any pharmacological effects or side effects of any sort.
