Testosterone and reduced collagen synthesis

[pickapeck]

This topic is rarely discussed because it is somewhat counter-intuitive to understand. Increased collagen synthesis is actually what makes tendons more "brittle" and prone to things like tendinitis.

Right. It's not intuitive to people outside of science that there are dozens if not hundreds of factors in critical balance to develop and maintain connective tissue.

It seems gh, tb500 and bpc157 peptides will help alot from researching. Adding mk2866 might also help. Is there anything else I have looked over?

Are collagen supplements neccesary if gh is there?

Thoughs and inputs?

peptides will help healing, bpc is shown over and over to speed achilles tendon tear healing. true. ive used it for that and other stuff.
but i dont see where u can pin it all the time as a preventative measure.
that'd get pretty expensive, and long term perhaps it would cease to work as a healer even.

from most info out there even trt probably retards collagen syth quite a bit...

there is no real good solution.

many aas do increase synthesis but there is a good bit of info to suggest that the the new tissue is brittle and not really strengthening the tendons it may actually weaken them...

very interested, I'm all banged up after TRT for last 18mo at 200mg/wk. Been resting last 3-4 weeks and about to hit some gh 4/d. I need to research TB500 and the other one for healing.

i havent been on for exactly 20 years but... not that far away either. lol

i feel this is still a major issue with no solution.
good luck!
