The Influence of Specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides on Knee Joint Discomfort in Young Physically Active Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Unknown authors
Published in Nutrients
Key Findings
Replication trial in 180 active adults confirmed reduced exercise-related knee pain with 5 g/day collagen peptides, with secondary mobility measures favouring treatment.
Conclusions
Confirms earlier collagen peptide findings in a comparable population.
Limitations
Short duration; no imaging or biomechanical endpoints.
Supplements Studied
Supplementation of specific collagen peptides is associated with a significant reduction in activity-related joint pain in young adults.
Outcomes Measured
In total, 180 active men and women aged between 18 and 30 with exercise-related knee pain but no diagnosed joint disease completed the trial over a period of 12 weeks.
