Free-Range Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen

Consumed daily:

• Together with specific exercise to help pain management for inflammatory conditions such as tendinitis
• To help reduce activity-related joint pain
• For the treatment/prevention of degenerative diseases, such as osteoarthritis.
• To assist in bone strength to reduce fracture risk.

Consumed 40-60 minutes prior to exercise to:

• Help to support collagen turnover in connective tissue by providing increased availability of amino acids during periods of increased turnover e.g. when the body is unable to keep up with demand and/or when total protein intake is suboptimal, such as during a heavy training loads.
• Help support tissue integrity for those with previous connective tissue injury.
• Support repair of various tissues, including bone, skin and ligaments/tendons during rehabilitation.

Consumed immediately post exercise to:

• Support the repair/recovery of muscle tissue, and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.
  
  

Add 1-2 scoops to drink of choice daily.
