Possibly — but there are few reports. 100% of 14 people who reported on Collagen Peptides for recovery say it improved. 0% noticed no change and 0% say it got worse.
“I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides and my purely anecdotal evidence ... is that it works. My skin is softer and plumper ... joints as they aren't as sore during or after working out.”
“6 weeks into it my joint pain was about 90% better. And it was so bad I couldn't sit, stand, lay on my side my hips were killing me.”
“after a year on collagen peptides I am losing 0 hair in the shower, whereas prior to that I was losing a LOT. I started taking collagen about 4 months ago. It totally healed my leaky gut and I've gained about 15lbs.”
“Started adding it to my morning coffee about three months ago... my joints have genuinely felt better in a way I wasn't expecting.”
Conclusion: In this systematic review, three different mechanisms of action were clarified for the intervention. Direct effects of collagen peptides on fibroblasts, M2-like macrophages, and oral tolerance-related mechanisms are the possible mechanisms for the beneficial effects of collagen supplementation.
