Collagen and Physical Performance: What Science Says

Collagen: More Than Just a Beauty Supplement

While collagen is often associated with skin health, its role in physical performance is equally important. Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles all contain collagen—and their health is directly linked to your ability to train effectively.

What Scientific Research Says

Several studies have highlighted the benefits of collagen for athletes:

• Reduction of joint pain: A study published in Current Medical Research and Opinion showed that collagen supplementation significantly reduced joint pain in athletes.
• Improved recovery: Collagen promotes the regeneration of connective tissues after exertion.
• Injury prevention: By strengthening tendons and ligaments, it reduces the risk of injuries related to intensive sports practice.
• Maintenance of muscle mass: Combined with resistance training, it helps preserve muscle mass, especially in people over 40.

When and How to Take Collagen for Sports?

Timing is important. Research suggests taking collagen 30 to 60 minutes before training, combined with vitamin C to optimize collagen synthesis in the stressed tissues. The NUTRINVENT Vital Collagen Premium range already contains vitamin C in its formula—an ideal all-in-one solution for athletes.

Who Is It Particularly Recommended For?

• Runners and endurance athletes (joint wear and tear)
• Bodybuilders (recovery and muscle maintenance)
• Individuals over 35 whose natural collagen production is decreasing
• Anyone wishing to prevent sports injuries
