Can PMR be induced by Exercise

There are many theories about what causes autoimmune disorders. Foreign proteins in the body was one I liked the best. There are many ways that these foreign proteins get into the body but infections are the more common way. I don't know why ingesting foreign proteins aren't believed to cause too many problems. It certainly seems possible. I will probably avoid marine collagen since the nearest ocean to me is more than 1,000 miles away. My body is not accustomed to seafood very often.

I eat a lot of protein in its natural form without a problem, including the higher collagen cuts of beef and lamb, the slow cook cuts and ones that include bone marrow. Like you, I'm not keen on seafood and rarely eat it.
What makes hydrolysed collagen in supplements foreign is that they've been processed/hydrolysed to break collagen into smaller fragments before you take it. Natural collagen in food arrives in the body as complete collagen in a recognised form, along with the food which naturally contains it.

@dadcue I eat a lot of sushi, nigiri and sashimi mostly. I love raw fish. Raw salmon and tuna. It actually helps me feel better. Like some say turmeric does for them.
The omega-3’s and protein I like since I gave up meat (other than fish) three years ago.
