Doing strength training alone helps middle-aged men build stronger bones, but adding this collagen supplement doesn't make a bigger difference than a placebo or whey protein.
Scientific Claim
Resistance training alone increases bone mineral content in middle-aged untrained men, but BODYBALANCE® collagen peptides do not provide additional significant benefits compared to placebo or whey protein.
Original Statement
“Bone mineral content increased statistically significantly (p < 0.05) in all groups during the course of the study. The LMM analysis revealed no statistically significant differences between groups for bone mineral content (p = 0.330).”
