Type 1 Marine Collagen For Muscle Growth
Feed your muscles what they need to recover, rebuild, and reset.
The ultimate fitness support. Packed with everything you need for muscle growth and repair, our Collagen peptides help you go harder and get back in the game quicker than ever before.
Tough workouts? No problem. Our 100% hydrolysed, bioavailable Type 1 Marine Collagen peptides help you rise to the challenge — again and again (and again) — by delivering the essential amino acids crucial for optimal muscle growth and recovery.
Supplements To Support Performance and Recovery
Stimulates post-exercise muscle protein synthesis
When you exercise, you create small tears in your muscle fibres, which triggers the body to repair and rebuild them into stronger, thicker myofibrils over time.
Type 1 marine collagen peptides may help support this recovery process. Research suggests that combining resistance training with collagen supplementation may enhance certain anabolic pathways more than exercise alone, potentially supporting improved muscle repair and growth over time.
Provides building blocks for muscle tissues
Like other proteins, your body can break Collagen peptides into individual amino acids, which can then be funnelled to promote muscle-building efforts (amino acids are the building blocks of your muscle fibres).
More impressively, Collagen peptides provide your body with the three amino acids that have the biggest impact on muscle protein synthesis: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
Relieves delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
No pain, no gain. You know that. But, sometimes, the post-workout pain (also known as delayed onset muscle soreness) can last a little longer than you’d like — derailing your progress. Thankfully, Collagen peptides effectively reduce DOMS, helping you get back to crushing those workout sessions sooner.

Your most asked questions
Is collagen good for building muscle?
Yes, collagen provides essential amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which support muscle tissue repair, tendon strength, and post-workout recovery. It’s particularly helpful for maintaining muscle mass during ageing or injury recovery.
How does collagen compare to whey protein for muscle building?
Whey is richer in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), making it ideal for muscle hypertrophy. However, collagen complements whey by supporting connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons, which are crucial for overall strength and injury prevention.
When should I take collagen for muscle recovery?
Collagen can be taken post-workout or before bed. Pairing it with vitamin C improves absorption and collagen synthesis in muscles and tendons. A consistent daily intake supports long-term muscular and connective tissue health.
What’s the best type of collagen for muscle growth?
Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides (Type I and III) are highly effective for muscle recovery and tissue repair. They support muscle fascia, skin elasticity, and tendon strength.
How much collagen should I take for fitness and muscle support?
A dosage of 10–15g daily is ideal for athletes or those looking to build or maintain muscle. Ensure your diet includes enough protein overall to meet your fitness goals.
