I've been reading that it is very helpful. How exactly does it help? Does it contribute to growth or just firmness? Can u build collagen from massage, or do u have to take in food/pill form? Also, I've heard gelatin being tossed around as well and wanted to know how it relates to collagen. thanks.

Collages is a protein. It's taken as a supplement as a source of protein. It's an addition to NBE but not the main actor.

I think I caused growth of connective tissue in my breasts with agressive massage. Connective tissue is the type of tissue that contains the most collagen and it's growth is stimulated by trauma (scar tissue) and also by a strong enoguh harmless mechanical stimulus like agressive massage.

Am a big advocate of collagen, I think its important for connective tissue as well as MSM.

Massage is a must in NBE. Before it became a regular part of routines hardly anyone had any sucess.

I can believe collagen supplements would help build connective tissue. Some collagen is difficult to find though, expecially marine collagen.
