Collagen, Gelatin + Vitamin C: The Tendon & Ligament Nutrition Playbook for Lifters
Collagen or gelatin is sometimes discussed alongside tendon loading. Nutrition support is an addition to an appropriate rehabilitation plan, not evidence that a supplement repairs an injured tendon.
A practical starting point
Have the treating clinician define the loading plan. Review whether overall energy, protein and food variety are adequate before discussing a collagen product with a sports dietitian.
What the evidence does not promise
Collagen support sits in the AIS emerging or mixed-evidence category. Do not substitute a supplement for diagnosis, rehabilitation, or a complete dietary protein source.
How to make it useful for your training
Bring a short record of your sessions, food routine and the specific problem you want to solve. Anthony can help organise the training plan and general habits; a sports dietitian or clinician should manage individual supplement protocols and medical concerns.
