collagenase inhibitors are actually well studied in terms of:

- how or where they exist in plaque buildups, which might be of some use topically but largely isn't what i'm dealing with
- cornea and vision loss

the collagen/collagenase equilibrium seems to be the same mechanism underlying certain types of age-related vision loss. so, i wonder if boosting production in the liver might help with more than gum recession. i said that already, but it was less clear then than it is now.

i've got some lengthy, paper-length reports to read before i comment further, if i can stay awake long enough. and, we'll see in the end if i think that trying to get my liver to produce something and distribute it is an effective strategy or not - or if i think i have to do this purely topically.
