There is no proven scientific data that collagen peptides or other tendocare tabletd help in ACL surgeries.
Already your ligament is replaced by hamstring tendon.
Now this tendon should undergo process called ligamentization which happens in coming 4-6months
So do your ACL rehab properly and religiously.
You will back to sports after 6months if you do good rehab.
Good luck
