I found that second link interesting although it raised the question of why gelatin versus amino acids in general.

However neither link seems to have anything to do with UC Davis or biochemical mechanisms related to collagen supplementation. I realize that it probably wasn't your intent but the mismatch leaves me feeling vaguely as though you tried to deceive me there.

They have published a lot of stuff.

I don't remember the exact link for the biochem stuff. Something about collagen being glycine limited and vitamin C being a catalyst for synthesis for tendon tissue regrowth.

Here are the two papers I remember reviewing.
