Question by RandomGonzo: Herbal supplements and/or good foods to build collagen?
My son is being evaluated for Marfan syndrome, due to some physical traits he has (he’s very tall & thin, has some chest malformation), and also because it runs in my family.
I’ve read that certain foods, such as asparagus, can help build collagen (fibrillin), since if you have Marfan’s, or something similar, you don’t make as much of this. Are there other foods? How about natural/herbal supplements?

Answer by SunnyCA2FL2006
I don’t know of any supplement that will help with Marfan’s. Accordingly, although there is no cure for Marfan syndrome yet, there are several different treatment options that can minimize and prevent complications.
You’ve probably read may articles regarding this but talk with your son’s specialist to see if he has any recommendations and if he knows of any studies currently being done and what if any are the results so far.
