Collagen

[Noods]

Hi all, I started taking collagen 80mgs about 4weeks ago. I'm currently in 200 Thyroxine. During the past 3 weeks I've gained 4lbs, noticed significant hair loss, dizzy spells and keep falling asleep. This morning I've woken up to puffy eyes.

I've just read in some reports that you shouldn't take collagen alongside Thyroxine. Can anyone here help me with this?

I don't feel good and so will now get rid of the collagen.

Sorry just to add, it was 400mg of collagen now 80.

I was once wondering if collagen would help my skin etc, but read somewhere not to get supplements that have trytophan added, so might be worth checking if yours have trytophan or anything else added in while waiting for someone more knowledgable to come along?

I just tried to google trytophan to jog my memory, it’s tryptophan! I got confused when I was previously reading up on collagen as to whether it was a good idea or not so never got the supplements in the end as I was still trying to get Levo dose optimal at time.
