you'd expect me to tell you that's bullshit. but, it might not be, it depends on your diet.
collagen is a protein, so it's composed of amino acids, and your body will break it down into amino acids and reuse it. so, you won't necessarily get increased collagen production from eating collagen, but you're at least giving your body the building blocks to do it with.
if you really need more collagen production, i'd advise trying something other than eating it directly.
i'm wondering if a collagen injection in my gums might be worth it....in conjunction with a collagenase inhibition strategy. it seems to be the latter that's more important.
i'm mildly concerned that if i just take a general collagenase inhibitor it might lead to excess collagen somewhere else, but what does that mean? i mean, restricting collagenase could actually help with my hair, my skin...even my eyesight....it's not clear to me why i'd be concerned about shutting that off.
let's be sure, though. is collagen excess ever a problem?
