Collagen Peptide Supplementation Enhances Muscle-Tendon Stiffness and Explosive Strength: A 16-wk Randomized Controlled Trial.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise·December 1, 2025·PMID 40623147
Why it mattersCollagen peptide supplementation may enhance muscle-tendon unit stiffness and explosive force production, which are key determinants of athletic performance and injury resilience. For clinicians advising on nutrition for performance or rehabilitation, this offers a targeted, low-risk intervention to potentially improve rapid force generation without altering muscle size.
