Collagen supplement

Hi All, I started taking a powdered collagen supplement before I was diagnosed with Lymphoma last year. As most of you know I got diagnosed with CLL/SLL Lymphoma Nov 2, 2020. At that time I stopped taking collagen. Didn't know why I stopped perhaps it was the shock of hearing my diagnosis and didn't want to be bothered. It sat on the counter for a long while. I'd say I started taking it again about a month ago. Today I researched on the subject only to learn collagen promotes tumor growth with cancer. I hope to God I haven't done myself any harm. Anyone else have any experience with collagen? Any information would be appreciated. GG |

No point fretting over it...
As a matter of precaution, make it a habit of discussing any and all new developments, symptoms, and dietary supplements with your medical team. This applies to everyone, and even more so to anyone diagnosed with a serious illness.
Your GP and/or hematologist will best be able to inform and reassure you. Trust in the notion that there is no matter too lowly for them to address.
I hope this helps.

just eat ….
steak, chicken or piece of fish. Collagen supplements are all made from dead animals - mostly from bones, hides and other animal byproducts. Just wondering - do you perhaps sell the stuff? Let's all get some Kangen water and collagen supplements and we will live forever. Oh if it were only that simple.

Agreed
Collagen is the most common protien in our bodies. It is manufactured in the body, by the body. It is readily available in most animal-based foods including meat, fish, poultry and dairy. No need for supplements.
Nice CAR!!!!
