Andrei Tudor Patrascu OK. You’re talking about questionable nutritional supplements.
collagen from my understanding is generate it by vitamin C interacting with protein.
it’s part of the Krebs cycle and you can generated by having meat and eating an orange or tomato juice.

Linus Pauling who discovered vitamin C, saw the Krebs cycle as the life extension miracle
parrots generate their own vitamin C and live over 100 years old.
so he thought there was some secret there.
it certainly helps. but it’s one piece of a complicated nutritional puzzle.

The best analogy for aging that I can think of is photocopy machines.
Bad photocopies made of bad photocopies = aging
–
since stem cells are the undifferentiated cells, mechanisms like CRISPr are where you’ll find anti-aging.
//
The main danger I could see you from doing your own DNA editing, which is now cheap enough to do yourself at home – is accidentally starting a chain reaction of undifferentiated cells that don’t know how to die. cancer.
otherwise, most other issues minor edits to your DNA would do probably wouldn’t come out too much danger.
I wouldn’t do it myself. I would worry too much about starting a cancer chain reaction.

i’m happy they have kids involved.
here in 2017, they’re showing a summer camp that’s a run that teaches kids how to edit mouse DNA.
since they are the ones that are going to be using this technology professionally and as patients, it’s fantastic that some of them are learning hands-on
