I planned to resume taking again protein collagen but read that collagen might contribute to scar tissue?

October 9, 2021
Asked By:Carmela in San Jose, California

I have been using two scoops of a Protein Collagen powder with Amino Acids everyday in my morning coffee for almost a year. I plan to stop using it two weeks before surgery along with all other required meds. I planned to resume taking again but read that Collagen might contribute to scar tissue. Is this true? Thank you
