THE REAL THING PRO-Protein Powder
It’s 97% protein. But not just any protein. It’s one of the purest and most concentrated sources of fish hydrolyzed collagen protein available. It is Type 1 Collagen Peptides. Feed skin, cartilage and all connective tissues. Like a pro.
GET THE SPECS
-
What? PRO-Protein contains all the amino acid building blocks that come together to form collagen. And collagen is the main structural protein in cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and skin.
What else? Our fish collagen is hydrolyzed for easier digestion and absorption. This means it clocks in quicker, and gets to work boosting natural collagen levels and helping to rebuild cartilage and other connective tissues.
What types of fish? The collagen peptides is made from the skins of Tilapia and Pangasius fish.
FACT: Collagen production slows down as you age. Unfortunately. Skin starts to wrinkle. Joints start to crumble. Bones and muscles start to slacken and take strain. The message? Put more in. You’ll get more out.
WHAT'S IN IT?
Collagen peptides are characterized by their high levels of specific amino acids: Glycine, hydroxyproline, proline and alanine. These peptides act as important signal molecules to stimulate cells as well as building blocks supporting the connective tissues and musculo-skeletal health.

FACT: Research suggests that supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen actually boosts the body’s natural collagen production too. Collagen begets more collagen. How convenient.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
- GENERAL JOINT HEALTH. Collagen is an essential component of healthy bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It helps improves joint strength. It helps decrease joint pain. And it helps increase flexibility. All at once.
- ARTHRITIS. Trials have found that arthritis patients who take a daily dose of hydrolyzed collagen are able to reduce their medication. It’s also been shown that this protein is more effective in the treatment of arthritis than physical therapy – although it will probably improve the physical therapy too (read on to see why).
- SPORTS PERFORMANCE. Marine collagen makes athletes more athletic. It’s an excellent source of glycine, the amino acid that allows the body to produce more glycogen for muscle fuel. Studies also show that peptides (basically chains of amino acids) can improve recovery and reduce post-exercise stress and injury after strenuous training.
- MUSCLES. It helps build lean muscle mass by supplying the right raw material. Plus it reduces muscle stress and strain after heavy training.
- SKIN, HAIR AND NAILS. Collagen makes up the strong protein scaffold in skin, hair and nails. So it’s used to effectively treat skin disorders and helps strengthen hair and nail follicles.
- NUTRITION. It’s rich source of lean protein.
FACT: The hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine found exclusively in collagen are pretty nice amino acids. They help to smooth fine lines and increase skin elasticity. To keep you pretty and nice.
