BODYBALANCE® (Bioactive Collagen Peptides — Gelita)

Evidence Level
Moderate
1 Clinical Trial
3 Documented Benefits
3/5 Evidence Score

BODYBALANCE® is a specific bioactive collagen peptide from Gelita, optimized to support muscle and body composition when combined with resistance training. The collagen peptides supply amino acids that, paired with exercise, are studied for increasing lean mass and reducing fat mass.

Studied Dose About 15 grams per day, combined with resistance training.
Active Compound Specific bioactive collagen peptides (hydrolyzed collagen) optimized for muscle and connective-tissue support.

Benefits

Body composition with exercise

In randomized studies, the bioactive collagen peptides combined with resistance training increased lean body mass and reduced fat mass more than training alone.

Muscle and strength

The collagen peptides support gains in muscle mass and strength when paired with a training program.

Connective-tissue support

Collagen supplies the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline used to maintain muscle connective tissue and tendons.

Mechanism of action

1

Amino acid signaling

The specific collagen peptides deliver amino acids that, together with the stimulus of resistance training, support muscle protein and connective-tissue synthesis.

2

Connective-tissue substrate

Collagen provides building blocks for the extracellular matrix that supports and transmits force in muscle.
