0:00.0	Welcome back to the Barbell Medicine podcast.
0:07.2	I'm Dr. Jordan Fagenbaum.
0:08.6	Today, on Episode 250, we're going to talk about collagen protein and if it's a good idea

0:14.0	First off, what is collagen?
0:15.9	So collagen is a protein molecule made up of amino acids.
0:19.4	It provides structural support to connective tissues, which are things like ligaments, tendons,
