Can I take Collagen and Omega-3 together?

Why this happens

Collagen is a protein that is broken down into amino acids in the digestive tract, while omega-3 is a fatty acid. They use different pathways for absorption and metabolism in the body and do not interfere with how the other works.

What you should do

It is safe to take these two supplements together. For the best absorption, take your omega-3 with a meal that contains some fat. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product labels and inform your doctor about any supplements you are taking.
