The benefits of collagen for sport

Amateur and elite athletes undergo intense workouts almost every day. Training sessions, however, make them prone to injuries and muscle wear and tear. The presence of collagen in the body help boost your sports and exercise potential. Kollo is a delicious drink with marine collagen and has multiple benefits for athletes. Some of these benefits include:

Reduces fatigue

As an athlete, you may experience fatigue from regular and intense training that reduces your performance. Collagen supplements boost your body performance due to energy giving vitamins like Vitamin C, B5, B6, B12, B1 and L-lysine. The vitamins are crucial for cell renewal in the bones, skin and cartilage.

Support muscle function

The muscle tissues have 10% collagen, making collagen crucial in building, and strengthening muscles and enhancing flexibility. Collagen helps synthesize creatine which assists in building muscle strengths, power and size. Taking Kollo during high-intensity exercises enable your muscles to produce energy and, if taken after, helps replenish your collagen levels and muscle mass.

Helps in recovery

Amateur and elite athletes often experience backaches, joint pains, knee and ankle strains. The muscles, tendons and connective tissues also undergo wear and tear after regular exercises. Collagen supplements enhance stronger joints, bones and cartilages, reducing joint pains and allowing you to exercise with ease. The essential amino acids in collagen help the bones and connective tissues to heal by themselves and make you recover quickly. Having collagen during intensive workouts acts as a shock absorber reducing the risk of injury and anchoring the body cells together to boost your sports and exercise potential.

Helps in metabolism

Collagen also aids in lowering inflammation and maintaining digestive health. It does this by enhancing the proper functioning of the gut lining and overall metabolism. For athletes who wish to shed some weight, amino acids and glutamine present in collagen can encourage your body to burn stored fat.

Boosts overall health

Taking supplements with Type 1 marine collagen peptide promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. It improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and enhances your skin tone and radiance. As an athlete, this boosts your confidence and motivation leading to more optimal performance. Collagen reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis by improving bone mineral density and reducing proteins in the blood. Kollo is certified with Informed-Sport making it an excellent workout supplement for all athletes. Try the leading brand to stay healthy and for optimal sporting and training performance.
