How and When You Should Use Collagen
Posted by Joshua Desabris on

Collagen is the most abundant kind of protein in the human body and is found in high quantities in bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. It serves two main purposes: to provide cushioning for your joints and to offer structural support. Collagen supplementation is often recommended for older people, but in fact, its production and synthesis start to decline from your mid-20s onward. This means that you might want to consider supplementing with collagen so that your extracellular matrix – which provides structure and absorbs shock in your joints – can recover more readily between training sessions. Collagen can...
The Most Effective Way to Use Collagen Peptides
Posted by Mackenzie Lynch on

With many kinds of supplements, you can take them whenever you like. But collagen is a bit different because of the way that your body uses it. The definitive scientific study was conducted by a group of exercise physiologists from the University of California, Davis, who found that collagen synthesis is increased the most by a combination of high-impact training and supplementation. Participants who jumped for six minutes throughout the course of a workout doubled their collagen production, and when they took a collagen supplement combined with vitamin C beforehand, it doubled again.[1]To get a little more specific with the...

Posted by Mackenzie Lynch on

Protein Digestion 101First, let’s take a quick look at how your body digests protein. Once it reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid begins breaking protein down and triggers the...

Why Sodium Bicarbonate Will Speed Your Recovery
Posted by Mackenzie Lynch on

There are dozens of different supplements on the market, but according to a position paper by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), there are five kinds that have an abundance of evidence-based efficacy to warrant recommendation for use by athletes.[1] Most athletes and coaches are at least somewhat familiar with the first four: the stimulant effects of caffeine, how creatine supports the ATP-CP energy system, why nitrates act as a vasodilator, and how beta alanine helps maintain pH in muscles. But despite having been studied for over 50 years, less understand the performance and recovery benefits of supplemental sodium bicarbonate. That’s...
