Be between 18 and 65 years old
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up baseline (0 hour) to 4 hours after last exercise bout (at 28 hour of the protocol)

Summary

This trial tests if taking different types of collagen or protein supplements with vitamin C helps the body make more collagen. Healthy young adults aged 18-30 will take these supplements and do exercises. The study will measure how much new collagen is made to see if these supplements can help reduce injuries to ligaments, tendons, and bones. Collagen peptide supplements have been shown to improve body composition and strength when paired with resistance training.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy, active men and women with a normal weight (BMI between 18-25). Participants should not have dietary restrictions affected by supplements, more than three muscle or bone injuries in the past year, or be on medication that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The study tests how different supplements affect collagen production when taken before exercise. It compares vitamin C enriched hydrolyzed collagen, PrimaColl™, whey protein, and a placebo over a day with repeated doses and jump rope exercises.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves common food supplements and exercise, side effects are expected to be minimal. However, some may experience mild digestive discomfort or allergic reactions to ingredients.
