In this episode, Leah and Caitlin discuss collagen supplementation in the context of a vegan diet. They explore the effectiveness of collagen supplementation for soft tissue injury management and the limited research available on its other potential benefits. They also touch on the challenges of studying collagen's impact on injury recovery in humans. While there is no vegan collagen option available, they discuss alternatives that may support collagen synthesis. They recommend a specific vegan collagen product and provide guidelines for its usage.
