A doctor has provided 1 answer
Collagen, vit c: collagen +c is, a supplement? Vit c is essential to build collagen, collagen is a basic protein that comes in multiple varieties depending on location . If one is 31 and have facet joint arthritis in the lower back , id rule out , spondylolisthesis, sponylolysis, ankylosing spondylitis, a herniated disc and other things before Id consider facet arthritis unless inflammatory arthritis or trauma
