New research published in Frontiers in Physiology highlights how collagen supplementation, when combined with regular exercise, can significantly improve joint function and muscle recovery.
The review analyzed several clinical trials and found strong evidence that collagen peptides can:
-
Support joint cartilage regeneration
-
Enhance muscle repair
-
Reduce joint pain after physical activity
These benefits make collagen a powerful supplement, especially for people who are physically active, aging, or recovering from injuries. Collagen is rich in amino acids like glycine and proline, which are key for rebuilding connective tissue.
In short, when paired with a workout routine, collagen may help you move better, recover faster, and feel stronger.
