Morphea/Glucosamine, Chontroitin03/17/2011 |
Can long term use of Glucosamine and Chontroitin cause Morphea. I have been using for about 8 years. I eat a balanced Diet. Does this use raise the collagen level in the skin?
As far as I can tell, there has nothing that has been reported in the literature nor have I encountered in practice, a relationship between morphea and the intake of glucosamine and chondroitin. I have not heard anyone talk about a possibility of raising collagen levels in the skin.
