Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you take collagen according to your correct dose, then you should not have side effects.
But it is important to see the effect on the kidneys related with all the other supplements you take, because they may interact and decrease or enhance the effect of each other.
Let me know all what you take and I can check if they all together interact and if they cause any side effect to the kidneys.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
