Also, I think you mean biopsy... Evil saltine 23:50, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I edit the page to correct a grammatical error, and added a link to wild cats and drop bears, only to find that drop bears are some sort of Australian myth? Is there something that should be done about that? - Steve

[edit] Rife with inaccuracies
This article should be pulled for the time being as it full of inaccurate information. I will massively reconstruct it by Nov. 19, 2005. For the time being, this is what happens when sources are not cited!!!
I removed that, since it sounded like a vandalism (I was only able to caught it when looking at the history, tought, as he changed type IV from basal lamina to somewhere in the penis). It's a shame it took from November 10 to 24 for someone to spot that error. Algumacoisaqq 22:31, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Removed stuff
Well, I just removed "The chemical formula is C2H5NOC5H9NOC5H10NO2." from the main article. I just can't believe that this information is right (I mean, it's just too short), but I'll leave it here, in case someone convinces me that it is. algumacoisaqq 12:46, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I have read of a new Collagen product now available here in the UK. It was developed in North America. I need some advise on whether there are any risks If I decide to start taking it(apparently , tests revealed that there are no side affects). It is in capsule form to be taken each night, and is 400mg of pure collagen per capsule. The trade name is Pure-Col. The information is that it is 'a molecular hydrolyzed collagen, generated by a unique process for better absobency using aminolock sequence technology'. This means nothing to me -though the product complies to the food safety act (and regulations). Would appreciate any advise.
- I take collagen dissolved in water as a dietary weight-loss supplement; however, after reading this article, it sounds like it may just be similar to gelatin. I'll do more research. Gelatin is apparently a partialy hydrolyzed collagen... 04:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just did some research. Apparently, it's my not eating after 5pm that's causing weight loss. "Hydrolyzed collagen and gelatin hydrolysates are similar. See Gelatin." [1]
- For more information, check "Calorad scam" on Google. It appears I lost 30 pounds because of... diet and exercise. The Calorad was largely a placebo, similar to stone soup in its effects coming from some other source, but motivated through the description of the placebo. BlueNight 04:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed link
The link natural collagen relates to a commercial site. So I removed it.--Victor.P.Das 15:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- Don't know how but this site creeps into the article now and then. I removed it again because it promotes commercial products. Editors please ensure this on later accounts. --Victor 19:31, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Ditto for the Puramatrix website... *PuraMatrix Synthetic ECM 15 Jul 2006
- But this link may be included which has peer-reviewed papers. Victor 22:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed all of the www.puramatrix.com links. They have been added to numerous articles by Bioxpert (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) and Zenchu (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) whose edits almost exclusively involve adding puramatrix promotional information to articles. This is clearly a conflict of interest. JonHarder 13:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] i dont get it
this article doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it does say but I can't find anywhere what part of the animal this comes from, and about it being made into Jelly, what type of jelly. I can't find out anything anyway because it's full of scientific words. For example: Hydroxylation of lysine and proline amino acids occurs inside the lumen. This process is dependent on Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) as a cofactor. Someone should make this article more explanatory and less confusing! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.59.200.187 (talk • contribs) 21 December 2006 (UTC).
