A Protein Bar You WANT to Eat

Reading time - 12 mins

Do you enjoy a post-workout protein bar? Would you like to switch up your post-workout shake to a bar but have not found one that you enjoy? ATP Science have developed a unique protein bar with clean ingredients that hits your macros… and you actually want to eat it! The texture and flavour of the Noway Collagen Jelly Bars are unlike anything else currently on the market due to the star ingredient - BodyBalance® Collagen.

There is so much hype and noise surrounding collagen at the moment, you see collagen sprinkled in small amounts through bars and many other products lining the shelves. So why choose the ATP Science Jelly Bar, and why is it such a unique jelly texture?

ATP Collagen Jelly Bar

The difference is this bar doesn’t just have a sprinkle of collagen, this bar IS COLLAGEN, 20 grams of collagen protein (BodyBalance®), to be exact, with a thin dusting of delicious Belgian dark chocolate.

If you are not up to date with the recent research surrounding the unique collagen peptide titled BodyBalance®, you might be reluctant to try collagen protein as your post-workout fuel. Shouldn't collagen be left to joint and skin health enthusiasts? Keep reading as we bust this myth once and for all!

What is BodyBalance® Collagen Protein?

We understand if you have not even considered collagen as an option to promote muscle mass, support lean body mass, and give you more power/muscle strength. Firstly, not all collagen is made the same. There are marine, pig, cow, and “vegan” options making it a confusing market to navigate. In regards to post-workout benefits for muscle, body composition and strength gains, BodyBalance® collagen has some pretty exciting evidence supporting its benefits (1,2,3,4,5,6). The very unique peptide derived from ethically sourced pasture-raised cows is the BodyBalance® difference.

What is a Peptide and Why Should You Care?

Let’s break down what the BodyBalance® peptide actually is. A standard protein strand is made up of individual amino acids, a peptide is a smaller version of a protein. The peptide named BodyBalance® is not just a random string of amino acids that you drink and wait for your body to digest and distribute to where they may be needed. The Bodybalance® peptide is a specific combination of individual amino acids that is not broken down during digestion. This means that the peptide can be absorbed in its full form and have a targeted effect in the body, the key to unlocking some serious potential. 

BodyBalance Collagen Promotes Muscle Mass, Strength and Lean Body Mass.

There are now a variety of randomised control trials looking at different groups of people to assess the benefits that including BodyBalance® with an adequate diet and training can provide. These groups include recreationally active men, pre-menopausal women, untrained middle-aged men, and sarcopenic (age-related loss of muscle mass) men (1,2,3,4,5,6). Results show that BodyBalance®, when combined with training and adequate diet, supports and promotes muscle mass, muscle strength, and lean body mass (1,2,3,4,5,6), and it is very interesting to note that when compared to whey, the benefits were superior (1,2,5).
