Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Recreationally active male athletes between the ages of 18-50 years of age training 5-6 days per week including at least 1 training session of running per week.
Exclusion
- Receiving any medication that may interfere with the study.
- History of more than 3 musculoskeletal injuries within the past 12 months.
- Health or dietary restriction that would be affected by the supplementation protocol.
- The initial phases of this study will be performed in males since collagen synthesis varies significantly throughout the menstrual cycle in females. Since collagen is 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 process with similar research in females.
