@nycmusic Hello again. I am nearly 6mo out from my last (rad) treatment. Yesterday was a marathon check up: labs, APRN check-in, pre-op exam for TKR, EKG, bilateral mamo post surgery.
I asked APRN if I should be taking collagen after a few seconds of thought she said, yes that it would probably help with my small joint pain I experience upon waking. When I asked about a brand she said any kind would do, not to bother going to a health food store, but any place that sells OTC products would do.
I’m now wondering if collagen needs a carrier like calcium does to get into the system and do its work.
I see too many popup ads by “medical professionals” each one touting their own brand after a loooong presentation that has pressure to buy now, then double your order, etc. I have become a skeptic of any of these ads and immediately delete.
I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on this, before I purchase
