Cacao Collagen & Breastfeeding: A Guide to Ingredient Safety
If you’re breastfeeding and curious about whether our Cacao Collagen blend is suitable during this stage, you’re not alone. Many mums are mindful about what they consume while nursing, especially when it comes to herbs and functional ingredients.
Here's a breakdown of each ingredient in our blend, including what’s considered safe and what’s best approached with a little extra care. As always, we recommend checking in with your health practitioner to make the best decision for you and your baby.

Considered safe |
| Collagen (bovine) | A protein supplement. | Considered safe |
| Peruvian Cacao Powder | Contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine. | Best consumed in moderation |
