If I understand the literature correctly, there is no strong evidence in favor of collagen as a dietary supplement outside of a dose just before weight lifting, because without the exertion the amino acids in blood simply don't reach tendons and ligaments.

You won't understand until you get much older, your joints start to hurt, and your sleep becomes miserable. When you try collagen then in a sufficient amount, e.g. 15g/day, only then might you understand.

Collagen for osteoarthritis is well-supported by research. I was responding to the statement about connective tissues.

One doesn't have to wait for a full-blown osteoarthritis diagnosis to benefit from it. One can start at the first sign.

Also, sleep health is an independent consideration for which it benefits.

This is, nine times out of ten, a bullshit diagnosis, and here is why.

Providers have systematically and knowingly misidentified arthrosis and other degenerative diseases. Because guess what? You can medicate and relieve inflammation, but -osis is not curable and very difficult to heal.

So rather than tell the truth to elderly patients with degenerating bodies, the providers lie and say there is inflammation. Then the providers recommend a panacea, literally, that matches that bullshit diagnosis, and the arthrosis patients go on their merry way with “arthritis” pills in their pockets.

It is an extreme disservice to suffering people, but that is how capitalism and health care work.

LLM? Or LLMism adoption?

dafuq is wrong with y’all and normal English sentences?

[skeledrew]

It's strange and unnecessary usage. LLMs generate normal English sentences which sometimes look strange and have unnecessary bits.
