HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Collagen by Yes You Can!

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Yes You Can! Collagen contains two active ingredients: gotu kola and collagen.

The product also includes inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders that give the capsule its form.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Tone skin and maintain hair and nail growth.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Dry skin, Wrinkled skin, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Scarring, Hypertrophic scars — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Gotu Kola is rated "Possibly Effective" for Burns (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Gotu Kola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Dry skin, Keloids, and more.

Gotu kola has possibly effective evidence for venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs and feet) and burns. For radiation dermatitis, cognitive function, Alzheimer disease, and generalized anxiety disorder, the evidence is either possibly ineffective or too limited to rate.

We hold no effectiveness data for collagen in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Gotu Kola

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Gotu kola is generally well tolerated short-term, though quality evidence is limited. The most common side effects from oral use are gastric irritation and nausea.

Liver toxicity is rare but has been reported in case studies; however, one clinical trial monitoring liver function found no changes after six months at 120 mg daily. The safety data advises against using gotu kola during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — not enough is known to recommend it in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Gotu Kola

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Gotu Kola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 580 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check any CNS depressants (sleeping pills, sedatives, anti-anxiety medications, alcohol) and hepatotoxic drugs (medications that stress your liver) with your pharmacist or the search tool before taking this product. We couldn't check collagen for interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take sedating medications or drugs that can affect your liver, check with your pharmacist before starting this product. Gotu kola may boost drowsiness and theoretically add stress to liver function.

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid it. For most other people, it's generally well tolerated short-term.

Cns Depressants

Theoretically, taking gotu kola might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
In vitro research suggests that gotu kola may have sedative effects via binding of GABA receptors.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking gotu kola with hepatotoxic drugs might have additive adverse effects.
There are at least four case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of gotu kola. However, more information is needed to determine if gotu kola was the causative factor in these cases.
