In this episode, I look at where the research on collagen supplementation currently stands and why the evidence-based space seems so split on it. I explain why collagen’s amino acid profile makes it a poor muscle-building protein, and why the recent positive studies on skin and strength are weaker than they first appear. I also cover what actually matters for tendon and connective tissue recovery, and why glycine might be a cheaper, more logical option.
