Evidence seems to be lacking though. Do you have any specific source in mind?

There's very good evidence coming out of UC Davis.

they have MRIs, decent experimental evidence, and biochemical explanations.

They have published quite a few papers over the years.

You can start here, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9267994/

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5183725/

Look up Keith Baar.

Keith Baar's videos on YT have helped me a lot; both for treating my knee pain and for increasing overall muscle strength. The videos tell you how to heal or strengthen your tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

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. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2wn8s39q https://escholarship.org/content/qt2j57t1j1/qt2j57t1j1.pdf
