The effects of collagen peptide supplementation on body composition, collagen synthesis, and recovery from joint injury and exercise: a systematic review
Mishti Khatri, Robert J Naughton, Tom Clifford, Liam D Harper, Liam Corr
This systematic review evaluated 15 randomized controlled trials on how collagen peptide supplementation interacts with exercise to affect joint health and recovery. The findings suggest that collagen may be most effect…

Bone Broth Unlikely to Provide Reliable Concentrations of Collagen Precursors Compared With Supplemental Sources of Collagen Used in Collagen Research
Rebekah D Alcock, Gregory C Shaw, Louise M Burke
This study analyzed the amino acid content of bone broth to assess it as a reliable source of collagen precursors, the building blocks the body uses to make collagen. Researchers compared various broths—commercial, home…

Alterations of Extracellular Matrix Mechanical Properties Contribute to Age-Related Functional Impairment of Human Skeletal Muscles
Piero Pavan, Elena Monti, Michela Bondí, Chenglei Fan, Carla Stecco, Marco Narici, Carlo Reggiani, Lorenzo Marcucci
This study investigated why muscles become stiffer with age by comparing individual muscle fibers to bundles of fibers that include the extracellular matrix (ECM). Researchers found that while the stiffness of individua…
