What is Muscle Protein Complex?
A comprehensive blend containing 25g of protein, including 15 g of the clinically trialed 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 and cells.
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. This comprehensive formula mixes easily in water and its neutral flavour enables you to enjoy in a wide range of beverage or smoothie occasions.

Ingredients List
Key Ingredients: HMB & Gelita PeptiPlus® Hydrolysed Collagen
What is Gelita PeptiPlus® Hydrolysed Collagen?
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.
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
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 ageing.
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 ageing adults or those in recovery who need to maintain muscle integrity. It's also suitable for athletes or active individuals seeking to optimise 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.
