72: Collagen Peptides and Protein Synthesis During Resistance Training

This episode examines whether collagen peptide supplementation enhances the recovery and growth of muscle connective tissue during a week of high-intensity training. Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled method, scientists tracked young men performing a rigorous regimen of resistance exercises and plyometrics. Kirmse M, Lottmann TM, Volk NR, et al.
