Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Collegiate level male athletes between 18 - 25 years of age
- Currently registered/participating as an intercollegiate athlete
- \< 3 musculoskeletal injuries in the past year
- No health or dietary restriction that would be affected by the supplementation protocol.
Exclusion
- History of more than 3 musculoskeletal injuries within the past 12 months.
- Health, dietary restriction or diet that would be affected by the supplementation protocol.
- Then initial phases of this study will be performed in males since collagen synthesis varies significantly throughout the menstrual cycle in females. Since collagen in the main outcome measure for this study this natural variation would confound the initial phase of the work. Provided this work proves successful then we will aim to perform similar studies in females.
