Unknown authors
Published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism
Key Findings
5 g/day bioactive collagen peptides for 12 weeks reduced activity-related knee pain and improved knee range of motion in athletes versus placebo.
Conclusions
Collagen peptides support joint mobility in physically active adults.
Limitations
Self-reported pain primary endpoint; industry funded.
Supplements Studied
5 g of bioactive collagen peptides per day for 12 weeks reduced activity-related knee pain and improved range of motion.
Outcomes Measured
As secondary endpoints, pain intensity under resting conditions, the range of motion of the knee joint, and the use of additional therapeutic options were assessed.
