Sports nutrition has evolved dramatically, with athletes and fitness enthusiasts seeking more functional, efficient, and clean-label ingredients. One such game-changer is collagen, now emerging as a key component in protein powders, energy bars, and hydration drinks. For manufacturers, sourcing high-quality collagen can determine the success of their products in a competitive market.
Why Collagen in Sports Nutrition?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, essential for joint health, muscle recovery, and skin elasticity. Unlike traditional whey or soy proteins, collagen offers unique benefits:
- Joint Support: Reduces exercise-induced joint pain and stiffness.
- Muscle Recovery: Accelerates post-workout recovery and reduces muscle soreness.
- Digestibility: Easy to absorb, making it suitable for athletes with sensitive digestion.

Applications in Sports Nutrition Products
