Supports muscle mass, bone health and strength with scientifically studied ingredients of collagen peptides, HMB and vitamin D3.
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.

5 Benefits of Muscle Protein Complex

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.

Key Ingredients


Muscle Mass & Growth
These blends of collagen peptides are a next-gen form of collagen designed to maintain muscle mass and aid muscle growth and helps in the maintenance of lean body mass in individuals over 65 years. Developed using a unique process that breaks down collagen into peptides, this form helps optimise absorption.

Physical Stamina & Heart Health
A leucine metabolite that enhances physical endurance and exercise performance in male athletes. It also supports healthy cardiovascular system function, nervous system function, healthy digestive system function and healthy muscle contraction function.

Bone and Muscle Function
Essential for calcium absorption and muscle function, vitamin D3 supports both bone health and healthy neuromuscular function, particularly when sun exposure is limited.
