collagen supplement before surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

I am preparing for explant in a month or so. But I am concerned

about scarring and sagging because my skin is extremley thin

due to endocrine/adrenal problems. I was wondering if anyone

has ever used collagen repair supplements. If so, which one

and how well does it work?

Dr. Kolb suggested Calorad which has Bovine Collagen

Hydrolysate in it. But this product also claims to help aid in

weight loss, which I don't need.

Another product I saw on TV is called Rejuva. It is made with Bio-

Collagen (I think chicken cartliage), B-vitamins, antioxidants, etc.

They claim it can help reduce the appearance of fine lines,

nourish skin, hair, and nails, etc.....money back guarentee.

I don't know which " collagen " is best. I'm sure the vitamins in

Rejuva help, but I don't want to blow my money on it if it all a

waste of time.

Realistically, I don't think their is anything I can do. Once

collagen and elastin break down it's gone forever. If these things

really worked, none of us would look our ages.

Maybe it's best to just load up on Vitamin-E.
