Research is investigating whether ingesting collagen and whey protein after exercise impacts myofibrillar and muscle connective protein synthesis.

“now we've tried that also with collagen and we do not see a greater increase in connective tissue protein synthesis rates in muscle so either it is not happening in the first five hours and the exercise is already a stimulus enough and the response is later on or there's enough Glycine and proline in Dairy protein”

“we've been ingesting collagen and whe protein after exercise and then we look at myop fial protein synthesis but also muscle connective protein synthesis”

“we've tried that also with collagen and we do not see a greater increase in connective tissue protein synthesis rates in muscle”

“when I look at muscle connective protein the fraction that we actually take out of the muscle contains only a few percent of collagen so the muscle doesn't contain a lot of collagen”

“so it seems that based on those data there is no benefit in both myofibril fibular or muscle connective tissue protein synthesis using collagen versus using whey or casian so if a person is taking a collagen protein because they believe that it will disproportionately help them increase the strength of their connective tissue the data would say that that is not correct at least in the presence of an exercising individual yes over over five hours I guess to be fully complete”
