Product Information

In addition to the intake of nutrients derived from the normal diet, some sport disciplines require the consumption of supplements that contribute positively to improve sports performance. These supplements, known as ergogenic aids, are defined as substances used to improve endurance, total fitness level and sports performance ( 5). Some of them, as creatine, caffeine, bicarbonate, protein and amino acids, have been used for different purposes: to increase energy intake, to maintain strength, to recover muscular mass or to prevent nutritional deficiencies, among others ( 6– 9). Two of the most marketed supplements in sports nutrition are proteins and amino acids. In fact, 80% of sports nutrition sales come from protein-based products, mainly in bars and powder formats ( 10), although the development of functional protein beverages is playing an important role in recent years ( 11). On the other hand, the current demand for more environmentally friendly products has increased research into more sustainable alternative sources of protein ( 10).

Whey isolate is more refined, and therefore more expensive. “Whey isolate is refined in a process that will remove the fat and the lactose from the compound,” says Butcher. “That makes it one of the leanest options, meaning it usually comprises of upwards of 90% protein content.”

The UK Government Eatwell Guide recommends eating more beans, pulses and lentils, as well as two portions (140g) of fish per week (one of which should be oily). In relation to red meat, current advice is that if you eat more than 90g of red or processed meat per day, try to cut down to no more than 70g per day (the current average intake of red and processed meat for adults aged 19-64 years in the UK is 56g/day).

Protein itself offers benefits for the immune system and is needed for the proper functioning of organs like the heart, brain and skin. What Does Protein Powder Do?Strenuous exercise, especially in high-impact sports, can lead to a continued joint pain in athletes, and can affect negatively in their performance ( 95). Collagen is the most abundant animal protein and it is present in the connective tissue of animals, being generally a by-product of the meat industry ( 96). This protein is often used in comparative studies to observe the impact of protein quality on muscle recovery, being used as a negative control due to its low biological value ( 96, 97). However, the hydrolysis of this by-product has become a sustainable way to revalue it. In this sense, researchers have investigated the effect of specific collagen peptides (SCP) by their biological properties ( 98, 99), some of them related to joint soreness. Clark et al. ( 100), pioneered the analysis of the effect of SCP supplementation in sportsmen's joint soreness. A 24-week prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study was conducted with 147 athletes. They consumed 10 g of a collagen hydrolysate or placebo. The results showed that a daily treatment of 10 g of a collagen hydrolysate was able to reduce joint discomfort, both at rest and during movement ( 100).
