Sport nutrition for the prevention or treatment of injury is receiving increased attention, with collagen being a nutrient that supports in both prehab and rehab programmes. The Performance Collagen Shot doses 20g of collagen hydrolysate and 80mg vitamin C per serving, contributing to normal collagen formation and supporting bone and joint health.
Collagen hydrolysate is a protein from bovine sources, rich in the amino acids’ glycine, hydroxyproline and proline. These amino acids, in combination with vitamin c, are crucial in the formation of new collagen tissue.
Vitamin C is included in the shot at 80 mg per serving, 100% RDA for this micronutrient. Providing a quality source of vitamin c is key in the synthesis of collagen, and it has been shown that using formats or formulations with degraded vitamin c can reduce the positive bone responses associated with supplementation.
