TendoForte / Specific Collagen Peptides - Branded Tendon & Ligament Trials

Specific collagen peptides improved subjective ankle stability in athletes with chronic ankle instability

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 50 male and female athletes with chronic ankle instability found that six months of daily specific collagen peptide supplementation (5g/day) significantly improved subjective ankle stability scores on two validated questionnaires versus placebo, with a three-month follow-up showing a significant decline in the number of ankle joint re-injuries.

Human RCT
Dressler et al., Journal of Sports Science & Medicine (2018)
TendoForte / Specific Collagen Peptides - Branded Tendon & Ligament Trials

TendoForte collagen peptides combined with calf-strengthening exercise improved Achilles tendinopathy outcomes

A pilot crossover trial in patients with chronic Achilles tendinopathy found that oral TendoForte specific collagen peptide supplementation, combined with a structured calf-strengthening program over six months, produced a larger and faster improvement in validated tendon function scores than the calf-strengthening program with placebo alone.

Human RCT (pilot, crossover)
Praet et al., Nutrients (2019)
TendoForte / Specific Collagen Peptides - Branded Tendon & Ligament Trials

A collagen-peptide nutraceutical combination reduced Achilles tendinopathy pain more than a common anti-inflammatory

A prospective randomized controlled trial in 40 patients with Achilles tendinopathy found that an oral combination of collagen peptide type-1, chondroitin sulphate, sodium hyaluronate and vitamin C produced a statistically significantly better reduction in pain at 12 weeks than oral diclofenac sodium, with both groups also showing reduced tendon thickness on ultrasound.

Human RCT
Choudhary et al., Cureus (2021)
Specific Collagen Peptides & Activity-Related Knee Pain

Specific collagen peptides improved activity-related knee joint pain in athletes with functional knee problems

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 139 athletes with activity-related functional knee pain found that 12 weeks of daily specific bioactive collagen peptides (5g/day) produced a statistically significant improvement in pain intensity during activity versus placebo, confirmed independently by both participant and physician assessment.

Human RCT
Zdzieblik et al., Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (2017)
Specific Collagen Peptides & Activity-Related Knee Pain

A confirmatory trial found the same collagen peptides reduced exercise-induced knee pain in young active adults

A randomized controlled trial in 180 physically active men and women aged 18-30 with exercise-related knee pain found that 12 weeks of specific collagen peptides (derived from type I collagen, ~3kDa) produced a significantly greater reduction in exercise-induced knee pain than placebo, confirmed by both the participants' visual analog scale ratings and the examining physician's assessment.

Human RCT
Zdzieblik et al., Nutrients (2021)
Specific Collagen Peptides & Activity-Related Knee Pain

A 12-week trial in older active adults with self-reported knee pain found no added benefit over placebo

A randomized controlled trial in 167 healthy, physically active individuals (median age 63) with self-reported knee pain found that 12 weeks of 10g/day collagen peptide supplementation reduced pain and improved knee function scores, but the improvement was similar in the placebo group, and collagen peptide had no measurable effect on inflammatory, cartilage or bone biomarkers.

Human RCT (null result)
Bongers et al., Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (2020)
Collagen Peptides & Osteoarthritis Joint Pain

A double-blind trial found collagen peptides significantly reduced osteoarthritis pain and improved quality of life

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in patients with knee osteoarthritis found that 13 weeks of orally supplemented collagen peptides (from pork skin or bovine bone sources) significantly reduced WOMAC and visual analog pain scores and improved quality-of-life scores compared with placebo, which showed no change.

Human RCT
Kumar et al., Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture (2014)
Collagen Peptides & Osteoarthritis Joint Pain

Collagen hydrolysate produced an imaging-detectable change in knee cartilage in a pilot trial

A pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 30 adults with mild knee osteoarthritis used specialized MRI (dGEMRIC) to find that collagen hydrolysate supplementation was associated with a significant increase in a cartilage-quality imaging marker at 24 weeks, versus a decrease in the placebo group.

Human RCT (pilot, imaging)
McAlindon et al., Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (2011)
Collagen Peptides & Osteoarthritis Joint Pain

A large meta-analysis found collagen hydrolysate among the few supplements with clinically important short-term pain relief

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 69 trials of oral supplements for hand, hip or knee osteoarthritis found that collagen hydrolysate was one of only seven supplements (out of 20 studied) showing a large, clinically important effect on pain reduction in the short term, though no supplement showed clinically important effects at long-term follow-up.

Meta-analysis
Liu et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine (2017)
A Balanced View: Mixed and Limiting Evidence on Collagen for Osteoarthritis

An earlier systematic review found insufficient evidence to recommend collagen derivatives for daily practice

A systematic review of eight randomized trials of collagen derivatives (collagen hydrolysate, gelatine and undenatured collagen) for osteoarthritis found the overall quality of evidence was moderate to very low, and concluded there was insufficient evidence at that time to recommend generalized use of collagen hydrolysate in daily clinical practice.

Systematic Review
Van Vijven et al., Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (2012)
A Balanced View: Mixed and Limiting Evidence on Collagen for Osteoarthritis

A different low-molecular-weight collagen ingredient reduced osteoarthritis pain and improved daily activities

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 80 osteoarthritis patients testing BioCell Collagen, a different hydrolyzed chicken-cartilage collagen ingredient, found a significant reduction in pain scores and improved activities of daily living compared with placebo over 70 days - an example of a different collagen-derived ingredient studied for the same symptom category.

Human RCT
Schauss et al., Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (2012)
A Balanced View: Mixed and Limiting Evidence on Collagen for Osteoarthritis

A recent trial found combined undenatured type II and hydrolyzed collagen no better than placebo for knee osteoarthritis

A 2025 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 68 knee osteoarthritis patients found that 12 weeks of combined undenatured type II collagen plus hydrolyzed collagen supplementation improved pain and function scores over time, but showed no significant difference from placebo on any outcome measured.

Human RCT (null result)
Yuenyongviwat et al., Scientific Reports (2025)
Essential & Branched-Chain Amino Acids for Muscle Protein Synthesis

Essential amino acids alone were shown to stimulate net muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise

A controlled physiology study found that a 6g oral dose of essential amino acids, taken after resistance exercise, significantly increased net muscle protein balance in healthy volunteers, and that non-essential amino acids were not required to trigger this anabolic response.

Human physiology study
Borsheim et al., American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism (2002)
Essential & Branched-Chain Amino Acids for Muscle Protein Synthesis

Both casein and whey protein stimulated muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise

A randomized trial found that ingesting either 20g of casein or whey protein after a bout of leg resistance exercise switched net muscle protein balance from negative to positive in healthy volunteers, with both intact proteins producing a significant net amino acid uptake across the exercised leg.

Human RCT
Tipton et al., Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2004)
Essential & Branched-Chain Amino Acids for Muscle Protein Synthesis

Adding extra leucine to a protein-plus-exercise regimen did not further boost the anabolic response

A randomized trial comparing whey protein plus added leucine against a flavored-water placebo after resistance exercise found the protein-plus-leucine drink produced a clear anabolic response in muscle, but that response was not greater than previously reported responses to whey protein alone.

Human RCT
Tipton et al., Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (2009)
Collagen Peptides, Resistance Training & Lean Body Composition

Collagen peptides combined with resistance training increased lean mass and strength in elderly sarcopenic men

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 53 elderly men with sarcopenia found that 12 weeks of resistance training combined with daily collagen peptide supplementation (15g/day) produced significantly greater gains in fat-free mass and isokinetic quadriceps strength, and a significantly greater loss of fat mass, than resistance training with placebo.

Human RCT
Zdzieblik et al., British Journal of Nutrition (2015)
Collagen Peptides, Resistance Training & Lean Body Composition

The same effect held in middle-aged, previously untrained men, exceeding a whey-protein comparison group

A randomized controlled trial in 97 middle-aged, untrained men found that 12 weeks of resistance training combined with specific collagen peptides (15g/day) produced significantly greater increases in fat-free mass and decreases in fat mass than training with placebo, with the collagen-peptide group's gains numerically exceeding those of an exploratory whey-protein comparison group.

Human RCT
Zdzieblik et al., International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2021)
Collagen Peptides, Resistance Training & Lean Body Composition

In participants with obesity or metabolic syndrome, a whey/casein-based supplement outperformed a collagen-based one

A retrospective analysis of older men undergoing resistance training and protein-based supplementation found that obesity and metabolic-syndrome risk were the strongest predictors of a blunted anabolic response, and that in a subgroup analysis a whey/casein-based multi-ingredient supplement produced greater gains in lean mass and strength than a collagen-peptide-based alternative.

Human RCT (subgroup analysis)
Nilsson et al., Nutrients (2024)
Glycine, Proline & Hydroxyproline - The Collagen-Specific Amino Acids

The collagen-derived peptide prolyl-hydroxyproline showed chondroprotective effects on cartilage

An in vitro and in vivo study found that prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp), a dipeptide released from digested collagen hydrolysate, inhibited the loss of cartilage-forming cells and cartilage thinning in a mouse model, and increased extracellular matrix content in cultured cartilage cells more than a simple mixture of the same free amino acids.

In vitro + animal study
Nakatani et al., Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (2009)
Glycine, Proline & Hydroxyproline - The Collagen-Specific Amino Acids

Collagen-specific peptides Pro-Hyp and Hyp-Gly were detected in human blood and urine after eating collagen-containing food

A human study found that after consuming collagen-containing meat, the collagen-derived peptides prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) and hydroxyprolyl-glycine (Hyp-Gly) both rose in blood and were excreted in urine, confirming these specific collagen-derived dipeptides are absorbed intact rather than being fully broken down to single amino acids.

Human study
Asai et al., Nutrients (2024)
Glycine, Proline & Hydroxyproline - The Collagen-Specific Amino Acids

Collagen's signature amino acids - glycine, proline and hydroxyproline - each showed distinct biological signaling effects

A laboratory study found that glycine, proline and hydroxyproline - the amino acids that make up the bulk of collagen - each had distinct effects on the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells, with hydroxyproline specifically promoting markers of early tissue-lineage formation, illustrating that these amino acids act as biological signals, not just structural building blocks.

In vitro study
Date et al., Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering (2013)
Tendon Biology - Cell and Mechanism-Level Research

Ascorbic acid accelerated collagen deposition by tendon cells in culture

A laboratory study of rabbit Achilles tendon cells (tenocytes) found that supplementing the culture with ascorbic acid significantly accelerated the deposition of collagen type I and upregulated genes associated with tendon extracellular matrix formation, supporting a role for collagen-building cofactors in tendon cell function.

In vitro study
Evrova et al., International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2020)
Tendon Biology - Cell and Mechanism-Level Research

A systematic review found collagen-derived peptides combined with eccentric exercise reduced resting tendon pain more than exercise alone

A systematic review of 40 studies on sports tendinopathy rehabilitation found that collagen-derived peptide supplementation combined with eccentric strengthening exercise produced superior pain reduction at rest compared with eccentric exercise alone, alongside broader findings that metabolic factors like metabolic syndrome can impair standard tendon-rehabilitation outcomes.

Systematic Review
Kulis et al., Journal of Clinical Medicine (2025)
Tendon Biology - Cell and Mechanism-Level Research

In an animal model, exercise combined with omega-3 increased tendon collagen expression after induced tendinopathy

A rat study using a collagenase-induced Achilles tendinopathy model found that combining omega-3 supplementation with treadmill exercise significantly increased tendon collagen type-I alpha 1 expression and tensile strength versus untreated tendinopathy, alongside reduced inflammatory markers - a mechanism-level example of how exercise and nutrition together can support tendon collagen recovery.
