Is it safe to take collagen supplement when I have PV?

Posted by 1hostahoney @1hostahoney, 17 hours ago

Concerned about taking collagen supplement with polycythemia Vera. At 71 I’d like to add collagen for aging skin. Would it increase my hematocrit number?

You could use a topical lotion with hyaluronic acid twice a day.
There is more evidence for the lotion improving the skin appearance and consistency with the application and little proof internal can help.
