Collagen

I was wondering whether anyone has tried collagen for rheumatoid arthritis alongside medications such as methotrexate, whether it has helped and which brand of supplements to buy. Thank you!

Hello @Sophieff21

Welcome to the online community and thank you for joining us.

So you are wondering if anyone here has any experience of using collagen for rheumatoid arthritis alongside other medications like methotrexate and whether it helped or not.

I have to be completely honest and say that I don not have any experience with this. However, I'm sure someone in the community will have and Im sure they will be able to comment on your questions. If, however, you are unsure would it be something that you could bring up with your consultant?

I was able to find the following information for you below which goes through what alternative treatments are and I have included the whole section we have on collagen for you to have a read through.

I hope these are of help to you and Im sure once people have seen your post you will get plenty of opinions from people that have tried it themselves.

Please do let us know how you are getting on and do also continue to get involved in the community. We have lots of interesting members that are always looking to make new friends.

Take care
