I started marine collagen vital proteins as I have osteoporosis. But I also have dense breasts and now am second guessing my decision after research on how collagen plays a role in tumors and dense breasts. Does anyone have the same concerns? I am overwhelmed by all this

Yes, I do. I had just ordered a 6 months supply of collagen and am returning it. I don’t want to have breast cancer again. Apparently taking collagen may be good for your bones but not advisable if you have dense breasts.
I am so thankful for this Mayo Clinic blog.

@sc614 may I ask why marine collagen? are they better? if you are concerned about its effect on dense breast tissue, would a yearly mammogram help you with your concern? I take just one scoop daily of vital proteins collagen peptides (bovine) just not to miss anything :). it is said that if we consume enough quality protein, usually from animal source, we'd get all the essential amino acids that we need since these protein will break down to amino acids anyway. I do take type II collagen as a pill form daily.
