 Re: nutrients / supplements for producing collagens and keratins
Outstanding work!
This piece has to be one of the most mechanically sound contributions I have seen in a while. Must be crafted by an engineer.
Not to digress at all...One thing I picked up on here were the titanium implants and surgeries. Have spoken to so many members with some kind of intrusion to tissue. Certainly what the body detects as foreign could warp collagen production, electrical conductivity of the cells, contribute to protein-loss entropathy in the body's attempt to defend itself.
It would also make sense that the nutrients, amino acids, minerals, our bodies have become accustomed to when removed, could result in attrition and substitution from other sources.
What you have mentioned about the body substituting lipids for collagen in the case of atherosclerosis also may be a tie in. I know the last time I checked, a long time ago, my triglycerides were through the roof. Interestingly enough, Mary Leito I believe mentioned her husband sucommed to atherosclerosis. Maybe fat substitution of collagen plays a role in part of what we are experiencing.  |
