Notes:
33 percent of the protein in the body is collagen.
Collagen keeps skin hydrated. Decreases in collagen cause loss of elasticity.
Collagen makes bone stronger.
Osteoporosis is related to low collagen.
UVA/UVB affects collagen.
Tenascin XB is a glycoprotein that is expressed in connective tissues.
PrimaVie shilajit is purified and standardized.
Dose in the patent is between 20-2000mg (so 8 capsules of Vitacost PrimaVie 250mg shilajit)
Interesting that growth hormone injections are being researched as a treatment for osteoporosis.
Shilajit upregulated some extracellular matrix genes: "Those significantly up-regulated genes are tenascin XB (TNXB), decorin (DCN), myoferlin (MYOF), collagen (COL) (type I, II, III, V, VI, XIV), elastin (ELN), fibrillin 1 (FBNl), and fibronectin 1 (FN1)"

Great. Well, I'm going to try the 2000mg/day dose for my mold-induced hypermobile EDS/hypermobility spectrum disorder.
