spring rolls, sometimes they have fish or meat in them, I got caught out by this once at a restaurant. Or soups too, often people think a vegetable soup has been made with veggie stock, but sometimes it is made with chicken stock, so if you are eating out then ask the waiter if the soup is made with veggie or chicken stock.

Herbal supplements and/or good foods to build collagen?

Question by RandomGonzo: Herbal supplements and/or good foods to build collagen?
My son is being evaluated for Marfan syndrome, due to some physical traits he has (he's very tall & thin, has some chest malformation), and also because it runs in my family.

I've read that certain foods, such as asparagus, can help build collagen (fibrillin), since if you have Marfan's, or something similar, you don't make as much of this. Are there other foods? How about natural/herbal supplements?


Best answer:

Answer by SunnyCA2FL2006
I don't know of any supplement that will help with Marfan's. Accordingly, although there is no cure for Marfan syndrome yet, there are several different treatment options that can minimize and prevent complications.

You've probably read may articles regarding this but talk with your son's specialist to see if he has any recommendations and if he knows of any studies currently being done and what if any are the results so far.

Answer by La Finita
Calcium rich food, 1500 mg per day, food or supplements plus weight bearing exercise helps. Lack of food, in general, hurts. What calcium is in leafy greens and if it is absorbed is still being researched. Until then, food with added calcium and the above recommendation. Walking causes reverberations in the bones. Bones respond with becoming stronger and sending calcium there when signaled. That's why doctors recommend walking daily 30 minutes rather than swimming which is not weight bearing. A friend of age 22 had early onset osteoporosis. I wonder if it was due to low weight, and consequently little food or lack of milk. Osteoporosis is also genetic.
