Mindsip insights from this episode:
Track new collagen production through P1NP blood levels
Scientists can track new collagen production by measuring blood levels of P1NP, an immature form of collagen that increases after supplementation.
Prioritize vitamin C for effective collagen synthesis
In a key study on collagen, researchers included vitamin C in all conditions, including the placebo, highlighting its crucial role in synthesis.
Combine resistance training with collagen supplementation for optimal results
Resistance training facilitates the increase in joint collagen production from supplementation, suggesting they work best when combined.
Supercharge joint collagen synthesis with pre-workout collagen
Consuming collagen before a workout can supercharge joint-related collagen synthesis by over 50% compared to exercising without it.
Evaluate resistance training volume for effective collagen synthesis
The reason resistance training alone didn't appear to boost collagen synthesis in one study may be due to low workout volume or the participants being middle-aged.
Combine collagen supplementation with resistance training to maximize benefits
A recent study suggests that while collagen supplementation increases collagen synthesis, resistance training is the main driver for reducing collagen breakdown.
