Classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Back to List of Questions
Is there a proanthocyanidin that is particularly helpful for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type? I want to support my body's ability to make stronger collagen.
While proanthocyanidins appear to strengthen connective tissue and stabilize collagen, there is no literature to support the use of these compounds in people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
