I am a 32 years old married woman with 1 kid. I don't any have any serious health issue and past history of any disease. Sometimes I feel joint pain and lethargic specially if I do lots of house chores. I sometimes take shelcal 500 and dexorange when I feel pain. Is it safe to take those medicine? I have come to know that collagen supplement is good for easing joint pain and improve skin and hair texture. My questions are. Can I take any collagen supplement regularly? Or I need to consult a nutritionist? If I start to take collagen supplement, is it necessary to take it lifelong? Which is the best collagen supplement available in market? Please advice.

No, it will not help. Get your thyroid profile, cbc, blood sugar fasting checked from some lab. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 2. Don't overeat 3. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of mixed dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 6. Maintain active life style7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, carbonated beverages 8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 9. Drink lot of water.10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time 11. Take 1tsp of ghee in bfast, lunch n dinner. Exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gym etc. For more details, you can consult me.
