HA w/BioCell Collagen II from BioCell Technologies

I received a reader comment on my view of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) supplementation (see my blog for May 1). She specifically asked for my opinion on HA w/BioCell Collagen II from BioCell Technologies. Since the previous article addressed HA, I’ll just talk about Collagen II supplementation here.



Again quoting Dr. Ray Sanhelian, M.D., “In the past few years several companies have started selling collagen supplements. There’s hardly any research evaluating the role of collagen supplements in human health, and hence, at this time, claims made regarding collagen capsules cannot be endorsed.”



As I wrote earlier, Dr. Sanhelian is widely recognized as a moderate voice in the evaluation of natural supplements. At the other extreme, I found articles promoting Collagen II supplementation written by James South, M.A.



James South is a biochemist and prominent proponent of supplementation for health and anti-aging. He is a prolific author and frequent talk show guest. He also practices what he preaches and has experimented on himself for over 30 years.



Only you can decide where you want to be on the spectrum. Would you like to see some peer-reviewed published research before using a new supplement formula or are you comfortable, like James South, being a human guinea pig?
