plaque is collagen and vitamin C is a collagen booster.  However, healthy tunica is another form of collagen so will vitamin C speed healing or will it speed plaque production or will it have no effect?  Will it do the same thing with each individual in each instance?
I am interested in hearing your speculations regarding collagen and vitamin c,
And what in your opinion healing means, is it to replace scar tissue with healthy tissue or is the purpose of traction is to stretch the scar tissue and the only way to heal is to have a stretched flexable scar tissue, is that even possible?

If healthy tissue could replace scar tissue then id assume peyronies is cureable but it isnt, this tells me that healthy tissue cant replace scar tissue and collagen might be harmful

A simple google search shows me that there are 16 types of collagen, which makes me think maybe some types are essential for building healthy tissue, and some are building scars
, this link looks interesting and makes me think that this is worth exploring

Type 3 collagen looks promising, or doesnt it?
I dont really understand everything in the links or what to look for, does anyone understand according to this link if the hypothesis makes sense? And if it does, which types of collagen might be associated with generating a healthy tissue and which type is a scar tissue


This link leads me to believe type 3  collagen is elastic and type 1 is causing scar but im not sure.

If you go to this link  down to where it says remodeling stage it says:
The apoptosis and degradation of the extracellular matrix and immature type III collagen and the ultimate formation of mature type I collagen are critical to scar formation

Does that mean we ought to consume type 3 collagen to compensate for the apoptosis and degradation  of the type 3 collagen
Or will that just make the active phase last longer?

English isnt my native language so im having difficulties concluding anything, if anyone can translate this to plain english would be great.
Another name for type 3 collagen is pro-c3, when i search it in google the results of pro-c3 on fibrosis seem negative.

What seems to be happening is that although the normal tissue is made of collagen type 3, you still have excess of collagen 3,with an addition of collagen 1, so overall collagen doesnt seem effective to me, or maybe it makes things worse,
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2918606/
Thats where i read it

It seems to me that if we have excess of collagen then what we need is collagenase.
collagen type 3 seems like it belongs in the penis but not in excess, and collagen type 1 seems to be the real enemy there.

Now, what im having trouble understanding is:  if the tissue in the penis is composed of collagen type 3 which is elastic tissue then why is the plaque made not only from type 1 collagen which is resistant to stretching , but also from elastic tissue? Very confusing

One hypothesis i have is that collagen 3 is trying to lay healthy tissue while type collagen 1 is causing more fibrosis, yet the body keeps sending both types of collagen to try to fix the tissue instead of sending type 3 collagen solely, and therefore both types are found in the plaque
Yet i cant understand why collagen type 3(pro-C3) is viewed negativity

It would be great if there was a doctor or someone who has studied this here and they could reply. I will ask my urologist next visit and report back with my findings. If what you say is true, how to take a specific type of protein?
