The Science of Collagen
Because your body’s most abundant protein deserves a spotlight.
What Is Collagen, Anyway?
Collagen is basically your body’s ultimate building block. It’s a protein made of amino acids that holds down the fort, keeping your skin springy, your joints smooth and your bones strong. Think of it as the scaffolding that keeps everything from your skin to your cartilage looking and feeling their best.
Fun fact: By age 25, your body starts producing about 1% less collagen every year. That slow decline is why wrinkles, creaky joints and weaker nails sneak up over time. Because of this, collagen supplements and treatments have become popular in recent years, as they may help to improve the appearance and health of the skin, nails, hair, bones, joints and other tissues.
The Nitty-Gritty Science
Collagen makes up roughly 30% of your body’s total protein. That’s huge. It’s made mostly of amino acids like glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. But, heads up: collagen isn’t a “complete” protein because it’s missing tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids.
There are 28 different types of collagen floating around your body, each with its own gig—some keep your skin firm, others patch up wounds and some reinforce your bones.
What makes collagen special? It’s incredibly strong (like, tougher-than-steel kind of strong) and super stretchy, perfect for keeping tissues intact and helping your body heal.
Benefits from supplementing with hydrolyzed collagen peptides are being noticed within a 4–6-week window.
Improved Skin Health
Collagen supports better skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen can also improve hair health and nail strength.
Joint Support
Collagen is an important component of cartilage, which cushions and supports joints, reducing joint pain and stiffness.
Stronger Bones
Collagen is a key component of bone tissue, and supplementation may help to improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Promoting Muscle Mass
Collagen is a major component of muscle tissue, and supplementation may help to improve muscle mass and strength.
Gut Health
Collagen contains amino acids that can help to support the lining of the digestive tract, which may help to improve gut health and digestion
Men benefit greatly from taking collagen just the same as women do. With collagen supplementation, men can see strong hair and hair regrowth, skin health to reduce the signs of aging, joint health for longevity, and better muscle mass.

The Science of Electrolytes
Water hydrates. Electrolytes optimize.
Electrolytes 101
Did you know that hydration doesn’t mean drinking just water?
That's right, your body needs key minerals, called electrolytes for the functioning of cells, muscles, digestion, metabolism, nerve signalling, acid balance and overall wellness.
Electrolytes are salts that supply electrical neutrality in cells. This balance of electric charge in and out of the cell is what generates and conducts the actions in our nerves and muscles.
Sodium and potassium are significant electrolytes along with magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonates. These electrolytes can be out of imbalance in your body, leading to either high or low levels. High or low levels of electrolytes disrupt normal bodily functions and can lead to a general feeling of being unwell to life-threatening complications.
If you’ve ever felt foggy, crampy, tired, or just off, there’s a chance your electrolytes were out of sync. These tiny but mighty minerals help your body do just about everything:
- Send nerve signals
- Contract muscles
- Regulate hydration
- Maintain pH and body temp
- Keep your heart beating in rhythm
Electrolytes are Essential
Electrolytes are essential because your body needs them to function, but your body cannot make them on its own... you get them from your diet (foods and fluids).
Adding electrolytes to your water can support proper hydration, especially when you’ve lost electrolytes through sweating, illness or activity.
What the Research Says and Why it Matters
- Proper hydration, with electrolytes, during training or competition will enhance performance, delaying fatigue, and prevent injuries associated with dehydration and sweat loss
- Electrolytes maintain the well-being of the cardiovascular system; potassium and magnesium have been associated with combatting cardiovascular risk factors, especially blood pressure
- Magnesium specifically is needed to fight infection, decreased levels can affect T-cells (immune fighter cells)
- Decreased magnesium or potassium can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue and even constipation
- It takes small amounts of potassium deficiency to make large impacts, therefore potassium replenishment or supplementation is vital, especially for those at risk of hypokalemia (e.g. hypertension, heart failure, or diabetes)
- There is such thing as hyperhydration or overdrinking water — this essentially means more water than electrolytes, leading to fluid imbalances
- It is imperative that endurance athletes replace sweat loss via fluid intake containing about 4% to 8% of carbohydrate solution and electrolytes during training or competition

Your body loses minerals when...
- Flying cross-country
- Bouncing back from a bug
- Out in the summer heat
- Recovering from a night out
- Staring at a screen all day
And it needs help replacing them. Electrolytes help you hydrate smarter, without the sugar crash or caffeine jitters.
Electrolytes that are formulated for daily use are great to keep up with your daily hydration goals and help you beat that afternoon slump.

The Science of Protein
Protein isn’t optional. It’s vital.
What Protein Actually Does & Why it's Important for Our Bodies
Protein is one of the three essential macronutrients (together with carbohydrates and fats). These long chains of amino acids support everything the body does, like building and maintaining tissues or breaking down nutrients in food.
When we eat protein-rich foods, our body breaks them down into amino acids and then uses those amino acids to build new proteins that perform different functions like building and repairing tissue, supporting immune function and balancing energy production.
There are over 10,000 types of protein in the body. Because of their versatility and variety, proteins can be categorized in groups like:
- Defence protein: antibodies protect the body against germs, viruses and bacteria.
- Enzymes: serve as catalysts in chemical reactions, speeding up processes like digestion.
- Messenger proteins: send messages between cells, tissues and organs in the body. Hormones like insulin are a type of protein.
- Motor proteins: help muscles move, support the digestive system as well as blood flow through the body.
- Structural protein: collagen is one of them, and it makes up approximately one third of the body’s total protein)
- Transport or channel protein: often part of a cell membrane, this protein helps molecules move through and across cells.
Of the 20 amino acids making up protein, 9 are classified as essential, meaning the body can’t create them on its own and so they must be obtained through the diet.
No matter your strength, age, fitness level, or health goals, protein is non-negotiable. It's a foundational building block to build and maintain muscle and tissue and an essential for everyone's overall wellness. It gives tissues and organs their shape. And it’s a resort of energy when carbohydrates and fats run low.
Beyond supporting muscle growth, protein plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health, regulating metabolism and supporting heart health. Without sufficient protein, your body may struggle to maintain muscle mass, repair tissue and produce essential compounds. Protein is essential for keeping you at your best every day no matter who you are or how active you are.
How to Get Enough Protein (Without Overthinking It)
Many common foods provide excellent sources of protein, like lean meats, fish, eggs and seeds. These natural sources not only offer protein but also deliver a range of essential nutrients that keep your body energized and balanced.
But some days, eating your protein is easier said than done. Between rushed mornings, long meetings or post-gym exhaustion, supplements make it easier to top up. It’s one of the simplest ways to support your health goals without changing your whole routine.
