Gelita PeptiPlus® Hydrolysed Collagen is a highly specialised form of collagen designed to optimise body composition and muscle strength. Developed using a unique process that breaks down collagen into peptides, this form is easily absorbed by the body, making it particularly effective in stimulating muscle metabolism and fat reduction. Studies have shown that Gelita PeptiPlus® enhances the mTOR pathway essential for protein synthesis, promoting an anabolic state that facilitates lean tissue growth. Additionally, it activates the AMPK enzyme, boosting fatty acid metabolism to provide more energy at the cellular level. This dual mechanism not only supports muscle generation but also aids in significant fat mass reduction, leading to improved overall body composition.

Key Ingredients
What is Gelita PeptiPlus® Hydrolysed Collagen?
What is HMB?
myHMB is a powerful supplement derived from the essential amino acid leucine, renowned for its efficacy in promoting muscle health and recovery. Scientific studies have demonstrated that HMB can significantly reduce muscle protein breakdown, accelerate recovery, and enhance muscle strength and mass, especially when coupled with resistance training. This makes it particularly valuable not only for athletes looking to optimise performance and recovery but also for ageing populations aiming to preserve muscle mass and function. Additionally, HMB supports improvements in aerobic capacity and reduces recovery times by decreasing muscle damage markers like creatine kinase. It's also been shown to play a beneficial role in improving overall strength and mobility in older adults, combating age-related muscle loss and enhancing quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this protein formula unique?
Our unique protein formula combines Whey Protein Isolate and BODYBALANCE® Collagen Protein, delivering a total of 25g of high-quality protein per serving. This blend not only supports muscle mass but also enhances muscle function and recovery, making it ideal for aging adults who are focusing on maintaining muscle strength and health.
How does HMB in this formula help with muscle health?
HMB (β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate) is a critical metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine. In our formula, 3g of HMB helps promote muscle protein synthesis and decrease muscle protein breakdown, leading to better muscle mass maintenance and strength, particularly beneficial during periods of physical stress or aging.
Why is Vitamin D3 included in your protein supplement?
Vitamin D3 is included at a dose of 1,000 IU to support muscle function and strength. It enhances the body's absorption of calcium, vital for strong bones and muscle contractions, ensuring that the muscles function efficiently and effectively.
Who should use this protein supplement?
This protein supplement is designed for anyone looking to support or enhance their muscle mass and strength, particularly aging adults or those in recovery who need to maintain muscle integrity. It's also suitable for athletes or active individuals seeking to optimize muscle recovery and performance.
How should I take this protein supplement for best results?
For optimal results, mix one serving of the supplement with water or your favorite beverage. Consume it either in the morning to kickstart your day, post-workout to aid recovery, or between meals to help maintain muscle protein synthesis throughout the day. Consistent daily usage is recommended to see significant benefits in muscle health and function.
