Glycine becomes conditionally essential during pregnancy, so it is more important once pregnant, however, it is still definitely fine to take collagen prior to being pregnant and also eat foods that contain plenty of glycine. The same guidelines you’ll see in the protein powder note are important to follow for collagen. I also recently found these collagen gummies which may be a nice little option if you don’t like collagen powders or eat high glycines foods!
