Summary
This study tests whether a natural supplement can increase collagen production in the body after exercise. Twenty healthy adults will take the supplement or a placebo for a week while doing weight-bearing exercise. Researchers will measure collagen markers in the blood and use those blood samples to see if they strengthen lab-grown ligaments.
