Featured research
Shaw et al. (2017) - Human study evaluating vitamin C-enriched gelatin supplementation and collagen synthesis markers around activity.
A smart question we love
Can the right inputs - collagen building blocks plus vitamin C - support collagen synthesis signals in humans?
What researchers measured
This study looked at collagen-related synthesis markers after participants consumed a vitamin C-enriched gelatin supplement and completed activity designed to stress connective tissue.
What they found
The researchers reported stronger signals tied to collagen synthesis after the vitamin C-enriched gelatin strategy. This does not mean “instant new collagen.” It means the body’s collagen-building response can be supported when it has the right nutritional inputs.
What this means for you
If your goal is connective tissue support, collagen routines are strongest when they are not “collagen only.” This study supports the common-sense pairing: collagen building blocks plus vitamin C.
