Hi everyone, I’m currently on combined HRT and was wondering what supplements people take, I thinking to support skin and hair. Would anyone recommend any. I’m vegetarian so can’t have traditional collagen as made from beef and fish. Has anyone tried Vegan collagen? Or any other supplements they can recommend that they think has helped their skin and hair and that you can use with HRT. Thanks

Holland & Barrett have a good range of veggie / vegan collagen supplements, I read somewhere that they weren’t as easily absorbed / as effective as bovine / marine collagen, but I much prefer to avoid animal products too.
Safe for use with HRT.

@Christine0708 Diet! Better than something concocted in a lab.

Good fats. Avocado, nuts, virgin olive oil, fatty fish- salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel. Have some of these every day.

Leafy green veg daily.

Lots of protein which helps hair grow.

Reduce sugar, which causes inflammation and break down of collagen (you can read about this online.)
