The Collagen Thread

[RyanO]

Hey guys. Registered as I found a thread I could finally contribute something to. Im going to copy and paste something from a very informative forum. The background info you'll need:
1. amino acids taken on an empty stomach cause their own special effects, when not competing for absorption with other aminos
2. this formula will increase the bodies own production of cartlidge, collagen, connective tissue and blood vessel repair/health
Here goes:

=========
Twice a week pre-bed on days when I have an empty stomach at that time I take:
L-Proline
L-Lysine
Vitamin C
This formula was recommended by Linus Pauling and supported by Dr. Rath who recommends the addition of EgCG, specifically to support healthy blood vessels.

If I were coasting or not attempting to grow just a little in key places then I would add EgCG.

If I were attempting to repair a connective tissue injury I would dose this formula + EgCG several times a day every day.

Vitamine C (ascorbic acid) works as a coenzyme to convert proline and lysine to hydroxy-proline and hydroxy-lysine, both important to the collagen structure.

Ratio: 1.2/3/3/

Total daily is:
1.2 grams of L-Proline
3 grams of L-Lysine
3 grams of Vitamin C
in three to six divided doses.

Proline and lysine must be hydroxylated into hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in order for collagen to have proper strength and structure. Symptoms of defective synthesis would include pain in limbs and general weakening of collagen in tendons and bones.

Vitamin C is essential for hydroxylating proline and lysine. Collagen synthesized in the absence of vitamin C is usually insufficiently hydroxylated and thus less stable and easily destroyed.

The cofactor manganese is needed for glycolysation of specific hydroxylysine residues and a copper-dependent cross linking though lysl and hydroxylysyl derivatives. The stability of collagen depends on the hydroxyproline content and on the lysine-hydroxylysl cross-links.
========

I'd say this would be way better than eating collagen, which would just be broken down in digestion. This way the body will make all different types of collagen as needed. It's probs a bit cheaper too!

interesting budy!

what has you benefits/sideeffects been ? gains? anything

[LOveMEat]

I'm listening

One of the most usefull threads

I personally. Use Neocell type 1&2

[Rey37]

so umm... any word on which collagen works best? type 1 and 3 or type 2?

[hpcamper]

I also use Genacol type 2, originally not for PE but for my knee joint pain. It worked wonders as it enabled me to run on the treadmill without any pain. I then stopped taking it for a few months, and guess what, I lost some girth, so much that even my better half noticed and said "I don't feel you as much as before".

Is it just a coincidence? In any case, I'm back on Genacol and believe it or not, I've gained back my girth loss (at least 0.25 in).

So the guys taking callogen, is this a good thing or a bad thing to aid in pe?

[pinoybolitas]

am taking collagen type 1,2,3...am getting hornier.
