Sorry I don't know much about collagen and I would say you are probably the best researcher on here! To me, it looks like studies are conflicting:

Apparently collagen supplements choose where they want to go in the body.

Have you looked into bone broth?

I haven't looked into bone broth yet but I'm also not certain of how healthful it could actually be short of being obtained from really healthy, grass-fed livestock not fed hormones and anti-biotics.

But I'm currently wondering what to do about the calcium supplements my doctors advise taking, when both Cleveland Clinic (where my doctors work, no less) and Mayo seem to have studies suggesting coronary issues from them. I know that I will never eat enough sardines (ick) or pilchard (cat food in the U.K.) to get enough calcium from "food sources" and my docs weren't impressed by my "ice cream for calcium" strategy ;-). And I'm not fond of soy. So supplements are my friend I hope.

A friend sent me the following article from a near-tabloid but they tend to quote med bits accurately. Excerpt and URL below. And as always some study results conflict with others. Better Davis once said that getting older 'ain't for sissies.' Now I know why...sheez.
