Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Hydrolyzed beef collagen is used to support tendon health and conditions like tendonitis, and this use is primarily justified by emerging scientific evidence. Collagen is the main structural protein in tendons, and hydrolyzed collagen supplements provide peptides that may stimulate the body’s own collagen synthesis. Several animal studies have shown that collagen supplementation can improve tendon structure and healing after injury. For example, studies on rats have demonstrated improved tendon repair and increased collagen synthesis after collagen peptide supplementation. Human studies are more limited but a few small clinical trials and pilot studies suggest potential benefits, such as improved tendon function and reduced pain in individuals with tendinopathies when collagen is combined with exercise or physical therapy. However, the quality of evidence in humans is still relatively low, with small sample sizes, short durations, and often lacking placebo controls. No large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials specifically on hydrolyzed beef collagen and tendonitis have been completed to date. Most current recommendations for its use are based on extrapolation from animal data, in vitro studies, and the known role of collagen in tendon structure. In summary, there is some scientific rationale and preliminary evidence, but more robust clinical studies are needed to confirm benefits for tendonitis.
