I have been reading some studies about taking collagen with vitamin C before training to help with ligament and tendon repair. I am currently rehabbing a grade 2 ankle sprain and I am wondering if this is worth the money. Does it actually get to the injured tissue or is it just expensive protein powder?

I have been using the Vital Proteins brand but I have seen some others that are specifically marketed for athletes. Have any of you noticed a faster recovery time when using collagen? I am also trying to eat more bone broth and gelatin based foods just in case.

I am curious about the timing as well. They say you should take it about 40 to 60 minutes before you do your rehab exercises. Does that actually make a difference? I am trying to be as scientific as possible with my recovery.
