Is it OK to take Collagen supplement during ADT?

I'm heading into final 3-month home stretch of my 18-month ADT. Is taking this (6,000 mg per day), which promotes the presence of collagen protein in general to fight aging, counterproductive in this situation with being prone to possible unwanted collagen buildup on penile tissue during ADT?

I don’t know, but radiation promotes scar tissue in blood vessels. Does taking it orally do anything? I’d discuss with my RO.
