Compared to those consuming a placebo, subjects given the collagen supplements experienced significantly greater improvements in vertical jump testing and 72.1% reported reduced joint pain.
Conclusions
Collagen supplements support tendon and cartilage remodeling in a manner that improves vertical jump and enhances athleticism.
