I picked up a tub of BUBS Naturals collagen protein a few months back and have been adding it to my coffee before I go to get a workout in the morning.
This product is unflavored so you don’t notice any taste at all. It mixes in really quickly and dissolves and doesnt clump up on the top of your cup or on the spoon.
BUBS Naturals Collagen Protein is made purely from pasture raised, grass fed bovine hide peptides. These proteins and amino acids are key to helping you repair muscle and cartilage which allows you to recover quickly after hard workouts. Your skin will also notice a difference.
Why Do I Need Collagen Protein?
As an athlete, collagen protein is essential for supporting joint health, improving recovery, and maintaining the strength of your tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. Here’s why it’s a key part of your nutrition:
Joint and Tendon Health:
Collagen makes up a large part of your connective tissue. Regular intake helps reduce the wear and tear on your joints, making movements smoother and protecting you from injury during intense physical activity.
Faster Recovery:
After hard workouts, your muscles and joints need repair. Collagen protein can speed up this process by providing the necessary building blocks for tissue repair, reducing soreness and allowing you to bounce back faster.
Stronger Ligaments and Tendons:
Collagen helps strengthen the ligaments and tendons that connect your muscles to your bones. This added strength and resilience prevent injury, especially in high-impact activities like running, lifting, or climbing.
Skin, Hair, and Nails:
Collagen is also important for maintaining healthy skin, which can be a bonus for athletes exposed to harsh environments (like wind or sun) during outdoor training.
By adding collagen protein to your diet, you’re taking a proactive step to protect your body and stay in the game longer with fewer injuries.
Checking out the ingredients list on the back of the tub you can see the typical amino acid profile.
I personally use it before my workout so that I will have some protein in my body while working out. If I drink a cup of coffee after—I will add another scoop. In the future I will start adding it to some light juice and let you know how I like it.
The BUBS Collagen Protein tub has 28 servings per container and has 18 grams and 72 calories per serving. It does not have any fat or carbs. It has no growth hormones or GMO’s.
I have gone through several tubs in the past few years and need to order more. I have my Dad a sample and he likes it. I have ordered him two tubs already.
My daughter has had chronic pancreatitis for almost a decade and I am always looking for great products that she can take to improve her help. She has tried BUBS several times and likes it.
