MOOP's Take
I do slow-rep resistance training once a week — which puts a lot of time-under-tension on connective tissue. The cumulative benefit over years is real. Also good for skin and hair (side benefit, not primary reason).
My Protocol
TimingAM with Vitamin C (enhances collagen synthesis)
Dose10–15g collagen peptides
NotesMorning routine. At 47, connective tissue recovery is slower than it was at 27. Tendons, ligaments, and joint cartilage don't repair themselves the same way after 40. Collagen + Vitamin C is a cheap daily insurance policy.

💪 Coach Arnie
Take with Vitamin C — it's required for collagen synthesis. Collagen alone without the co-factor is less effective.
🩺 Doc Hartley
Evidence is strongest for joint pain reduction and skin elasticity. Take within 1 hour of training for maximum collagen synthesis in connective tissue (recent research suggests the post-training window matters).
