When you hear the word “collagen” what do you think of first?

Most people think of wrinkles…

Wrinkle cream…

But you probably don’t think of prednisone!

It makes sense that prednisone‘s collagen issues would be related to some of the skin side effects, but it’s much bigger than that!

Find out what other side effects are related to how prednisone interferes with collagen synthesis.

Watch now!

Prednisone interferes with many systems in the body. One of the body systems that it causes many side effects to includes the skin and connective tissues. Some of the most common side effects include thinning skin, stretch marks, muscle loss, and muscle weakness. Many of these could be caused by a depletion of collagen.

That’s why I recommend anyone concerned about maintaining healthy skin and muscles while on prednisone.

Below are some reliable formulations I recommend. You can purchase them through my formulary, Fullscript, which is only available from licensed medical professionals like me.

Prednisone Side Effects and How to Restore Collagen

Prednisone is a commonly prescribed medication that has several side effects, including thinning and stretch marks on the skin. This is caused by a lowered collagen level due to how Prednisone mimics the stress hormone cortisol. To restore collagen levels, people should consume grass-fed meats, bone broth, collagen supplements, and eggshell membranes. Bone broth is particularly beneficial because it is filled with essential nutrients such as minerals and proteins. Home-made bone broth can be made from bones, aromatics, and vegetables, and it can easily be purchased online. Health care professionals can give more information about making bone broth at home, but it can be a great way to support your immunity and nourish your body.

You can take it as a powder that you can add to smoothies, soups, drinks, or other foods.
