WHY ACTIVE WHEY & COLLAGEN?
The all-in-one high protein shake designed to support muscle growth, strength and recovery
When we strength train or take part in strenuous, high intensity or impact sports we create an enormous amount of muscle damage and inflammation – in a good way of course – to stimulate adaptation and repair.
However, without a high-quality source of protein your muscles, connective tissue and other soft tissue simply won’t be able to recover and repair, compromising your performance in the next workout. A high-quality source of whey and collagen protein is crucial for maximising the gains from your training or activity – especially if hypertrophy is your primary goal.
Packed with muscle-restoring proteins, Whey Protein Concentrate (12g), BODYBALANCE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides® (15g)
✔ Low in fat (<1g) and low in calories (<120kcal)
✔ Results in as little as 12 weeks (15g daily serving BODYBALANCE® in combination with physical exercise)
KEY BENEFITS
The Ultimate Muscle Recovery Supplement
Muscle damage is inevitable and is the hallmark of training but how we respond to that muscle damage is perhaps the most important factor. Important because the repair of that damage leads to adaptation. And that adaptation makes us faster, stronger, and more endurable.
Supplementing with a high quality recovery protein post-workout ensures that your body has the essential building blocks to grow and maintain muscle whilst strengthening muscle fibres to optimise performance and reduce the risk of injury.
High Protein
Each serving contains an incredible 22g of protein.
Amino Acids & BCAAs
Each serving contains the full spectrum of Essential & Branched Chain Amino acids to promote optimal muscle protein synthesis.
Full of Flavour
Available in two great tasting flavours: Chocolate and Strawberry.
Muscle Maintenance
Ideal for anyone looking to add a high-quality protein to their diet as part of a healthy, balanced, and active lifestyle.
Taken Anytime
Whenever you are training, Active Whey & Collagen is the perfect post-workout recovery supplement. It can even be added to food, smoothies or used for home baking.
What are the benefits of using Active Whey & Collagen?
After training, your muscles need to recover and rebuild to promote adaptation. Active Whey & Collagen helps you do this faster and more effectively as it contains both Essential Amino Acids and Branched Chain Amino Acids and muscle specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides®.
U Perform Active Whey & Collagen is designed to be the foundation of any strength training and sports programme. This unique combination of whey protein and collagen peptides offers you unrivalled support with your training, performance, and recovery.
Who should take Active Whey & Collagen?
U Perform Active Whey & Collagen is ideal for anyone looking to add a high-quality protein to their diet as part of a healthy, balanced, and active lifestyle.
Why is protein important for muscle recovery?
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of lean muscle mass. Collagen contributes to the strength and repair of muscle fibres, connective tissue and the health and quality of our hair, skin, and nails.
How much collagen do I need?
A growing body of research evidence is suggesting that 15 grams of the muscle specific collagen peptide BODYBALANCE® combined with training will enhance body composition and performance. And that is exactly we have reformulated our best-selling Active Whey & Collagen protein powder to include 15 grams of BODYBALANCE® Bioactive Collagen Peptides® and 12g of Whey Protein.
The vast majority of research also points towards to total of between five to 15 grams of collagen per day. Though this can increase during periods of high volume or high intensity training or when recovering from an injury.
What does it taste like?
Our Active Whey & Collagen comes in 2 great flavours: Chocolate and Strawberry. We use only natural flavouring preparations. Because whey protein is sourced from dairy (cow’s milk), it typically has a creamy, dairy texture which mixes well in a shake.
Are there any dietary restrictions?
Active Whey & Collagen is not suitable if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet or if you have a milk allergy.
How much protein do I need each day?
We would recommend between 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for endurance and strength-trained athletes. This range is dependent on the type and intensity of the training.
We would recommend between 1.2 – 1.5g per kg of body weight being suitable and appropriate for most recreationally active adults.
Protein intake should be spaced out intermittently throughout the day and especially after exercise or training to support optimal muscle protein resynthesis.
