The below is information I found that hasn't really been talked about much on internet. I'm only taking Collagen Type 2 which also has small molecule Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and chondroitin. I plan on adding Collagen Type 1 and 3. The HA has done wonders for my herniated disc in 6 weeks. I am working on my hip degeration. I wonder what adding Type 1 and 3 will do for my body.

Double dose for 6 – 12 weeks to make up for collagen deficiency, then maintain at recommended dose daily.

Take away from food – especially protein. If taken with protein the body doesn't recognise it as collagen (? hour before food and 2 hours after).

Do not take type I and 3 collagen at the same time as type 2 collagen – they have different amino acid profiles and if taken together the proteins bind and form a complete protein which means the body doesn't recognise it as collagen anymore.

Not taking with food has been discussed but not how to take it with the other type of collagen. Also I did run across double dosing but not that much. I have been double dosing with Type 2 and small molecule HA. I've seen one brand put type 1, 2 and 3 together so perplexing. For now, I have decided to separate taking the Type 2 and Type 1/Type 3 at different times of day on empty stomach. Any other views on this matter?

It is cured. The herniated disc was cured but the remaining pains turned out to be rheumatoid arthritis which I did find way to bring it under control.

I have experience that collagen could really be beneficial because it really helped a lot with my ruptured Achilles tendon.

But if you take it just as a supplement I don't thing it's going to syntheses in necessary amount in body.

I don't think there is replacement for plant based mainly raw food. It's proved to be best choice for healing.

Milk of magnesium liquid very well may help you. Google it with arthritis and/or bursitis. It is amazing.
