Abstract in brief

  • The study found that postmenopausal women taking specific collagen peptides (SCP) for 12 months experienced significant increases in bone mineral density (BMD) at the spine and femoral neck compared to a placebo group.
  • Blood markers showed that SCP intake boosted levels of P1NP, indicating increased bone formation, while in the control group, CTX 1 levels (a marker for bone degradation) increased.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that daily oral intake of SCP can improve bone health by increasing bone density and promoting balanced bone turnover in postmenopausal women.]

@stephensmithPN @NanciGuestRDPhD @EatsleepfitJeff - there are various collagen supplementation RCTs on other indications (eg. osteoporosis (https://t.co/vsq1dYk06R), osteoarthritis pain, pressure ulcers etc... results are mixed, I haven't analysed carefully yet

@ifbacongrewont1 you test it in humans and look at the biomarkers plus clinical endpoints to determine if the intervention had any impacts. Not that hard to understand. Here is one example https://t.co/hRa1ZShQE9
