Description
30% of the protein in your body is collagen. Muscles are made largely of collagen (not whey protein) so it would make sense that consuming collagen benefits muscle mass and strength. When you supplement with collagen, research has found that it:
- Supports and Promotes Muscle Mass
- Supports and Promotes Muscle Strength
- Supports and Promotes Lean Body Mass
- Stimulates and Boosts Collagen Production
- Increases Pro-Collagen and Elastin
BodyBalance Collagen
Not all collagens are created equal. BodyBalance Collagen is the King of Collagen for your muscles - and it is backed by some very cool studies.
In 2021, a randomized controlled study compared whey protein with collagen (BODYBALANCE). Researchers measured fat-free mass changes, muscle strength and body fat changes. In the lucky group who the BODYBALANCE collagen, they increased their fat-free mass (muscle) by 3.42kg, whereas the whey group only put on 2.27kg of lean tissue.
In another study, women who trained were either given a placebo or 15g of BODYBALANCE collagen. Once again, the results clearly showed that the women taking BODYBALANCE increase their muscle mass far superior to training alone.
How is BodyBalance better?
While collagen itself is very high in protein, that is only half the story. BODYBALANCE is made of collagen peptides, which act as an instructor to a specific task, that is, they teach the body to build more lean mass. The protein fraction then goes ahead to build the muscle mass. When compared to other proteins, BodyBalance gives you '2 for the price of 1', combining the peptide teaching the body to build muscle, and the protein itself.
How does it taste?
Amazing, Collagen taste great in milkshake style flavours like Chocolate and Vanilla but excels in Juicy style flavours. We believe the juicy range tastes like a refreshing cordial and is very easy to drink especially on a ho summers day when you might say "Milk was a bad choice". We have a huge range of flavours to choose from including Chocolate, Vanilla, REAL Ice Coffee, Unflavoured and Juicy styles like Pink Lemonade, Wild Berry and refreshing Pineapple.
