The Claim
Collagen peptide supplementation during resistance training does not significantly enhance maximal strength gains in young men beyond those achieved with resistance training alone, despite increasing fat-free mass and muscle protein expression.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking collagen peptides while doing strength training does not lead to greater increases in maximum strength in young men compared to strength training alone, even though it may increase muscle mass and protein markers.
See the scientific wording
Collagen peptide supplementation during resistance training does not significantly enhance maximal strength gains in young men beyond those achieved with training alone, despite increasing fat-free mass and muscle protein expression, suggesting strength improvements may be limited by other factors.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that young men who took collagen peptides while working out got stronger than those who didn’t, even though both groups got stronger. This means collagen peptides might help you get stronger, not hurt it.
