*Bad Taste in the Mouth : Some oral collagen supplements can leave a bad taste in the mouth, according to MedlinePlus. Collagen supplements made from marine sources usually have an unpleasant taste and odor that is not very favorable to most patients. Drinking fruit juice together with this type of oral collagen supplement can mask the unpleasant taste. Acidic fruit juices, such as orange, apple, grape and tomato, can lower the collagen supplement's strength and potency; therefore, they should be avoided.

Collagen occurs naturally and commonly in the body. It is essential for the structure of muscles, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bones. Collagen also supports the skin. Many people take collagen supplements for health benefits, because anecdotal reports speak of various improvements. There are 28 forms of collagen, each responsible for various processes in the body. However, there is little scientific research to support the idea that these supplements actually work.
