Hi, having MCTD with Lupus and RA, now quite bad arthritis too. My MCTD etc is well managed on the Mtx and Hydroxichloroquin. I have thought of taking Marine Collagen, perhaps it with help with the arthritic joint pain ? Has anyone any advice on this ?

I take it and it seems to make a difference.
What about cod liver capsules and oily fish?
Good for joints and joint lubrication.
Known for decades.
No, found it eases joint stiffness. Nails stopped splitting and hair fell out less. Not taken for a few weeks and seeing the difference.
Take that too - also works.
Before you add this to your diet, ask your medical doc if this is feasible. I've heard mostly cons about it. I took for 3 months just because I heard it could be. Never saw any good that it did. Also, took a hair and nails vitamins daily for 3 months, nothing there either. Hair still fell out, skin still dry and flaky. According to both of these products, I should have the nicest hair and the best skin in the world. So, rather than spend a lot of money for products that don't work, ask your doc what does work. Best wishes to you..
