Musculoskeletal injuries, such as injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and cartilage, are the most common injuries among recreational athletes and elite athletes, especially in "contact sports" such as football. Characteristic of these musculoskeletal tissues is the fact that they are largely composed of collagen. Collagen is a structural protein that plays an important role in the strength and elasticity of these tissues. When these tissues are damaged, whether or not due to excessive strain or hard contact, the body needs certain specific amino acids to repair and strengthen the collagen within these tissues. The amino acids proline, L-hydroxyproline and glycine are especially important for the production of collagen. These amino acids are highly present in gelatin.

Recent research, in which tendons were specifically loaded, has shown that taking 15 grams of gelatin in combination with 50 mg vitamin C stimulates collagen synthesis in tendons twice as much as when no collagen is taken. Moreover, it has previously been shown that short exercise sessions (<10 minutes), in which tendons and/or bones are specifically loaded, can maximally stimulate collagen synthesis if there is at least 6 hours of rest between these exercise sessions and/or other training sessions. By taking the gelatin one hour before such sessions, the peak concentration of the necessary building blocks in the body coincides with the load on the tissues for maximum effect.

One dose of the 6d COLLAGEN PEPTAN consists of 15g pure collagen type 1 peptides (PEPTAN®) supplemented with 50 mg vitamin C. Collagen peptides, also called collagen hydrolyzate, are created through an enzymatic reaction in which the proteins in the gelatin are broken down into smaller pieces are cut. As a result, collagen hydrolyzate has much better solubility than gelatin, especially in cold liquids. Due to its excellent solubility and neutral taste, the 6d COLLAGEN PEPTIDES can be added to a cold or hot drink of your choice.

In short, the 6d COLLAGEN PEPTAN is the ideal supplement for exercise sessions with the specific aim of repairing and/or strengthening bones, cartilage, tendons and/or ligaments*. Athletes who want to speed up their rehabilitation process after a sports injury can also rely on the 6d COLLAGEN PEPTIDES.

* Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal functioning of bones and cartilage.
