Collagen in athletic performance

INCREASED BENEFITS FOR ATHLETES

Accelerated regeneration thanks to Peptan collagen peptides. To maintain and improve performance and fitness levels, our bodies need to be in good shape in terms of strength and muscle mass. It is worth bearing in mind that an intensive training programme with a short recovery period increases the risk of injury, while strengthening joints, bones, tendons and ligaments prevents them. Thanks to their unique amino acid profile, collagen peptides - which are pure proteins - contain high concentrations of the amino acids glycine, hydroxyproline, proline, alanine and arginine. This delivers benefits related to regeneration and support of connective tissue.

• 
  Muscle soreness - A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in the UK in 2019 [3] found that those receiving Peptan supplementation experienced 20% less muscle soreness after intense exercise at each point in time studied, compared to the placebo group.
• 
  Performance - In the same study [3], subjects receiving Peptan supplementation reported an increase in performance, indicating accelerated recovery.
