About Performance Collagen Gummies
Performance Collagen Gummies deliver 20g collagen hydrolysate, 80mg vitamin C and 58g carbohydrate per pack, contributing to normal collagen formation and supporting bone and joint health. The unique gummy format doses collagen and carbohydrate, supporting pre- or post-exercise nutrition strategies at times where the demand for carbohydrate is elevated.
Collagen hydrolysate is a protein from bovine sources, rich in the amino acids glycine, hydroxyproline and proline. These amino acids, in combination with vitamin c, are crucial in the formation of new collagen tissue.
Vitamin C is included in the shot at 80 mg per serving, 100% RDA for this micronutrient. Providing a quality source of vitamin c is key in the synthesis of collagen, and it has been shown that using formats or formulations with degraded vitamin c can reduce the positive bone responses associated with supplementation.
Prehab: The use of specific training and nutrition protocols that aim to prevent injury occurrence and enhance an individual’s capacity to withstand the demands of sports performance are known as prehabilitation or prehab. In prehab, supplementing with collagen and vitamin c pre-exercise promotes bone formation, speeds the recovery of muscle function and reduces muscle soreness following muscle damaging exercise. Further, blood flow to inactive tendons is limited and as such, collagen supplementation would be best placed either before or after exercise to provide maximum benefit.
Designed as a convenient and tasty way to help you meet your collagen requirements

Where is the collagen sourced from? The collagen in Performance Collagen Shots is from bovine sources.
Why gummies? The unique gummy format provides an easy-to-eat option for dosing collagen alongside carbohydrate.
Why carbohydrate? The carbohydrate serving can contribute to pre-exercise fuelling or post-exercise muscle glycogen recovery at times of elevated carbohydrate demands.
What is prehabilitation? Prehabilitation, or prehab, is a preventative term related to the exercises, protocols or steps taken to prevent injury occurring. In this situation, the nutritional intervention of supplementing collagen alongside specific exercises helps to prevent bone or joint injuries.
When should I take collagen gummies in prehab? Have 100g collagen gummies 60-minutes before training or a match. Alternatively dose 50g 60-minutes before and 50g after. Collagen intake is also particularly beneficial prior to strength and conditioning sessions targeting bone formation or joint tissue development.
Is it Inform Sport tested? Yes, Science in Sport Performance Collagen Shots are tested under the Informed Sport programme.
