“Heavily cross-linked collagen is more resistant to degradation than less cross-linked collagen. And diet influences this process. For example, animal studies show prolonged low-energy diets and low-protein diets may
interfere with cross-linking.112 Studies also show that copper deficiency impairs collagen cross-linking, leading to weak formations that are easily irritated and torn.113”
