Unfortunately, one cannot replace their body’s natural collagen by eating foreign sources of collagen. When we eat protein-rich sources—including animal or plant collagen—our body breaks those proteins down into amino acids. Those amino acids are then used as building blocks to rebuild our own collagen type. This collagen type is determined by our genetics. Therefore, there is currently no cure for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, since it is a product of one’s genetic makeup. However, it is possible to significantly decrease the negative effects of this condition.
Since collagen is the main problem with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, can I potentially cure my EDS by consuming other forms of collagen?
