HI i am diagnosed with IgA nephrotic syndrome with 24hr urine test of 3g, normal gfr and creatinine clearance. I would like to start on a healthy and beauty drink, amino collagen which has daily intake of 5000mg of FISH-derived collagen peptide. It is in powder form to be mixed with juices. I wonder if the 5000mg intake of collagen is bad for my nephrotic syndrome. Please advise. thanks!
