Food & Sport track.

Food and Sport sits where supplements meet competition rules. Collagen peptides are ordinary food products with modest, real evidence; injury peptides are promoted for repair, studied mostly in rodents and banned in tested sport. The notes explain both, and why an athlete carries the responsibility for anything found in a sample. They also point out where a supplement claim borrows the language of a drug trial without the trial behind it.

Start with collagen peptides and skin and sport, supplements and the anti-doping line. The BPC-157 cycle evidence lists the treatment lengths rodent work actually used, and the TB-500 dosage chart review sets out what those studies measured.
