Your mind and your emotions are deeply connected. Yet mental health and emotional health are not exactly the same. Understanding both can help you notice early signs of struggle, build healthy relationships, and protect your physical health over time.
At Fallbrook Medical Center, we see mental and emotional well-being as part of whole-person care. Mental health includes your emotional, psychological and social well-being, affecting how you think, feel and act in daily life. Emotional health focuses more on your ability to manage and express feelings in a healthy way. Both matter and both can be supported.
Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. The collagen powders are among today’s most popular dietary supplements. Many people take collagen for skin elasticity, joints, and muscle mass support. But a common question is simple and practical: can collagen cause constipation?
Constipation isn’t the most typical reaction to consuming collagen, but it can happen for some people-usually. For reasons you can control, like low fiber, dehydration, dose, product additives, or individual sensitivity.
Below, we explain the mechanisms, who’s at risk, and easy fixes grounded in current evidence. We also review the benefits of collagen, types of collagen, and broader side effects of collagen. So you can use it confidently and protect your gut health. For personal advice, always speak with your clinician.
