Collagen Feedback for Ligaments, Torn

Art Solbrig,
Thank you so much for such an obviously altruistic, wanting - to - ease - pain article on collagen, and its benefits for joint ailments to back pain, and more. The link to Multi Collagen Plus on Amazon was greatly helpful. ALL THE BEST!

Art,
My husband had a stem cell transplant for Multiple Myeloma & they gave him Levaquin for 10 days. He had ruptured tendons, rotator cuff injuries, along with other things that make it impossible for him to lift his arm. He is in constant pain. I give him Magnesium and Tumeric but will order a bottle of this and make sure he is ok to take it as he is on Warfarin. Hoping this will bring him some relief. Thank you for this information.

I sent in a comment 3 years ago about how Cipro damaged my tendon in my knee and femoral nerve. I now have cartilage tears in my wrist for the last 8 months. I started taking collagen 3 months ago and I have had less pain. I can play golf with a separated wrist ban on each side of my wrist.
Thank you for the information.

Please see the latest report from OCA regarding collagen. Great Lakes contains heavy metals, along with a few other ones that were surprising:

Thanks Art for a great review. I've been taking a collagen supplement off and on for a while in an attempt to help knee issues that I'm sure include tendons and ligaments. I have narrowing of the medial compartments as well.
Lots of pain to a point of not being able to walk or balance well due to the pain and instability of both knees.
I'll try this brand of collagen for a few bottles. If there in anything else you may suggest for my case, I would appreciate hearing about it. I've tried many other remedies found on Earth Clinic as well as other places. This includes most every supplement, TENS, Laser Light Therapy and even stem cell injections.
Lately I've been reading about Dr. Sarno's findings for chronic pain. Makes a lot of sense being nothing is helping and things should have healed by now. It's been about 10 years for the left knee and about 2 now for the right.
Thank you.

Comes in smaller cardboard cylinders, too. Easily mixed with bevera

When I click on the Amazon link in the article, it takes me to a page that has multiple brands. So which one is the correct one? Thanks. -----------------------
