Collagen Type, Blood Pressure as Paraplegic, Diatomaceous Earth | THRR174 - The Healthy Rebellion Radio

Types I and III can be purchased in bulk powder form, but type II appears to be only easily available in small doses via capsules or mixed in with types I and III in unknown, probably small amounts.

I suffered a massive ankle injury from a bike accident, so am looking for as much extra help healing as I can get. I'm already getting 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight and eating paleo plus lots of homemade bone broth. Maybe the extra collagen isn't necessary?

Eric

Diatomaceous Earth for Silica and Heavy Metal Detox

Thanks guys.
