Maximising recovery from exercise and injury
Collagen is a significant element of the human body. About 30 % of our total body protein is collagen and is crucial for mobile joints, healthy muscles, strong ligaments and tendons, smooth skin, glossy hair and healthy nails. The ProteinLab Opti Collagen Peptide range stimulates the body's ability to produce collagen to assist targeted body recovery.
ProteinLab Whey Protein Isolate originates from NZ grass fed herds. It has a full amino acid profile, is abundant in naturally-occurring branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) and 3 essential amino acids that produce glutathione which is vital for recovery and growth.
Our 100% Creatine Monohydrate fuels the energy system that enables 'maxing out' on effort in training and competition.
