Collagen peptide supplementation boosts muscle gains in new study.

A new study on recreationally active young men found supplementing with collagen peptides plus resistance training significantly increased muscle mass and strength compared to placebo. Published in the *Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research*, the 12-week trial involved 60 participants, suggesting collagen's role extends beyond joints and skin to actual performance gains. This isn't just about skin elasticity; it's about helping your body rebuild after a breakdown.
