I don't think everyone produces amino acids as efficiently as everyone else. For some people, perhaps supplementation is beneficial.
- IAmBroom 1y agoThat's an unscientific opinion. Any data?
- theoreticalmal 1y agoIs it any more or less unscientific than the parent comment?
- hagg3n 1y agoAssuming we're in the unscientific realm, and that scientificity exists on a spectrum, I'd say the parent comment is more scientific, because at least it provides a description of a logical causal chain (collagen is a protein, we digest proteins indiscriminately, therefore ...).
- pcthrowaway 1y agoI'm not inclined to do a bunch of research and I'm not claiming to be the best to interpret the studies, as I don't have a background in biology, but a cursory search shows many results like this https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10545-017-0063-1 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10545-017-0063-1 I didn't claim I was certain of this however, only that I'm under the impression that amino acid synthesis doesn't work as well for all people, for all amino acids.
