Overview
The purpose of this study is to test whether a natural product supplement can potentiate the increase in collagen synthesis following the ingestion of collagen protein. The investigators have developed a model of natural (GRAS certified) products that stimulate collagen synthesis, in vitro. The investigators will determine whether the natural product supplement can potentiate the collagen synthetic response to the ingestion of collagen protein. Basal and fed serum will be isolated and these samples will be used to treat human engineered ligaments.
Interventions
- Dietary supplement Natural Product Supplement
Participants will have blood drawn before and one hour after consuming the natural product supplement. For 7-days the participants will perform load-bearing exercise and consume the supplement. On the final day, blood will be collected 4 hours after the final exercise bout. - Dietary supplement Placebo control
Participants will have blood drawn before and one hour after consuming the placebo supplement. For 7-days the participants will perform load-bearing exercise and consume the supplement. On the final day, blood will be collected 4 hours after the final exercise bout.
Primary outcome measures
- Collagen protein synthesis [Time frame: 7 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Strength of ligament constructs [Time frame: 60 minutes post-exercise]
- Collagen content of ligament constructs [Time frame: 60 minutes post-exercise]
