Can Collagen Become Addictive?

Are there chances that you could become addicted to collagen serums?

I don't think there's any real risk of addiction to be worried about. Unless you're extremely self conscious about your appearance, then that's more of a psychosomatic aspect than anything to do with the collagen. Just my thoughts.

I did recently learn that so many sources of collagen are derived from animals, and apparently they don't absorb into the skin or embed into the matrix as effectively as plant based collagen.

It turns out that seaweed and algae are amazing sources of collagen. I stumbled upon this while looking for Vegan sources of collagen. Given that it's made from plants it ticks a lot of boxes for me.

As far as some of the other chemicals that can be used in beauty and pharmaceutical products, I'm always weary of these. I refuse to use toothpaste that contains fluoride and and products containing methyl lauryl sulfate. Another one is anti perspirant products containing aluminium.

I believe that we need to be careful about that we expose ourselves to. The better informed you can be, the healthier choices you can make.
