What is Muscle Protein Complex
Melrose FutureLab Muscle Protein Complex is a comprehensive blend containing 25g of protein, including 15 g of scientifically studied GELITA BODYBALANCE® Collagen peptides, as well as an additional 10 g of GELITA collagen protein, which help maintain lean body mass in ageing individuals. Collagen is an important protein source, providing the nutrients required for the many processes that take place in muscles.
The formulation also features clinically trialled myHMB® Calcium Beta-Hydroxy-Beta- Methylbutyrate monohydrate, which has been shown to decrease muscle protein breakdown in ageing individuals and enhance physical exercise performance in athletes. Vitamin D3 works with HMB to support muscle function as well as maintain bone strength.

Muscle mass can decline with age
After the age of 30, we naturally lose muscle mass, a process that accelerates over time and can affect mobility, metabolism and overall resilience. Maintaining lean muscle and bone density becomes increasingly important for healthy ageing and performance.
Muscle Protein Complex is a science-led formula combining collagen peptides, HMB and vitamin D3 to support muscle mass, strength, and bone integrity, especially in adults over 65 or those with active lifestyles.
