Does anyone know anything that can help hyaluronic acid production and collagen production. Vitamin, amino acid or mineral?

My face has gotten a bit wrinky and ive always had joint pains that always crack and pop.

Anything that can help?

I used topical hyaluronic acid for a while. Not sure if it does anything. I followed Good Looking Loser for a while 2-3 years ago when I was doing pickup and he used hyaluronic acid, egg white mask, botox, etc. Guy was really into it.

Raising estrogen might be helpful if you have joint pains and dry skin.

Thanks man, will try out egg white mask and hyaluronic acid if i can find it. Im looking more into info for anything that supports collagen/hyaluronic acid production.

Dry skin on body while kinda wet and oily on face... Probably estrogen related

I will try it out, im mostly concerned with hyaluronic acid as im loading high dosages of b2 which can degrade hyaluronic acid
Could high dose gelatin substitute bone broth?

I don’t know I just threw ideas out there for you. But bone health improved for me immensely last year after fasting, bone broth use.

Healthy collagen and connective tissues require proline, lysine, vit c, manganese, copper, glycine.

Amything that screw up the balance between these nutrients decreases the strengt if your collagen/conmective tissue, go on ARL/TEI and it will be fixed

So you think guys like Konflict and whoever else suffer from “Epfs” with their joint issues may have just had issuew with the balance of these nutrients?

How could arimidex or aromasin cause issues with the balance in these @Helen any idea?

We’ve seen several reports of arimidex, aromasin causing crashes mostly causing the connective tissue issues.

I always did better if i made homemade bone broth with veggies and stuff since you get it with all the cofactors and potassium. My skin always looks better the next day after I eat it, I'm assuming from the peptides. Powered gelatin always made me feel like shit. But also going on TEI will help you as well.

You are talking about a different thing, I was talking about collagen/connective tissue production, you are talking about actions of hormones on it, for example high cortisol inhibits incorporations of aminos in connective tissue, estrogens play a role as well so if the problem is estrogens insensitivity it has to be fixed

I think its all related to electrolytes. I had joint pain all the time and weird aches all over in the past. It went away once electrolytes were in order especially related to muscles, joints, tendons etc. electrolytes manages that entire process of reactions

Im probbably just gonna start high doses of glucosamine, msm, chondroitin, gelatin and vit c and see where that takes me.
My diet and overall lifestyle is pretty good but cartilage and skin has gotten worse.

But this is only a short term fix until i can hop on tei.

@SwaZ -- Shark Chondroitin? Good shark collagen supps existed/ may be banned now.
-I don't condone killing sharks*** I'm saying if they are sourced nicely without harming sharks, not bad***.

I prefer bone broth for skin. When I take collagen after 45 days or so, my muscles start getting tight.. and more prone to cramps or pulls.. face will bounce back nicely though :/

I don't think it's as complete as something like bone broth which is full spectrum

Could just be the way I react, my sister is affected the same way.
