The evidence in words
How much to take
10–15 g collagen peptides with ~50 mg vitamin C, ideally 30–60 minutes before training or rehab loading.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Collagen Peptides; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Peptides may signal fibroblasts to increase collagen synthesis and supply substrate; the vitamin-C cofactor is required for the hydroxylation steps that stabilize collagen.
Bottom line
One of the better connective-tissue supplements: 15 g with vitamin C before you load the joint or tendon. Modest, real, low-risk.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
