Why choose Cyborg Sport Collagen Protein Water

Cyborg Sport made Collagen Protein Water to help you hit your daily protein in a light, juice-style drink. Every serve gives you hydrolysed collagen peptides that dissolve easily in water, so you get a refreshing, easy alternative to thick, creamy protein shakes. Collagen Protein Water is made for active people and anyone who wants a refreshing collagen protein. Collagen Protein Water mixes into a clear, great-tasting drink you can have after training or any time of day, and the light texture makes Collagen Protein Water a great pick if you prefer a fruity protein drink over milk-based shakes. Made for convenience and everyday use, Collagen Protein Water is a simple way to get more protein while you enjoy a refreshing drink.

What Collagen Protein Water helps with

• Daily protein and muscle: 25 g of protein per serve from hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides, a protein source Cyborg Sport says you can use to build muscle.
• Hair and nails: Cyborg Sport says collagen peptides also help with healthy hair and nails.
• Skin, joints and connective tissue: collagen is the main protein in your skin, tendons and ligaments. Cyborg Sport adds hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin and joints, and vitamin C, which your body needs to make collagen.
• Staying lean: zero carbs and zero fat per serve.
• Sensitive stomachs: no dairy, no gums and no bloat, so Collagen Protein Water suits people who don't do well on whey.

What's in one scoop (28.5 g)

Ingredients: collagen peptides (from bovine), citric acid, natural flavour, natural sweetener complex (steviol glycosides, monk fruit extract, thaumatin), hyaluronic acid and liposomal vitamin C. One scoop of 25 g protein comes to roughly 100 calories (the label prints the energy as 100 kJ and 418 Cal, which looks like the two units swapped). Collagen peptides are about 90% protein, which is why 27 g of collagen gives you 25 g of protein. The full label is in our product images.

Key ingredients

• Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides (27 g): collagen that has been broken into small pieces, so the powder dissolves clear in water and your body absorbs the protein easily. Collagen is naturally rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline.
• Hyaluronic acid (50 mg): a compound found naturally in your skin and joints, where hyaluronic acid helps hold moisture.
• Liposomal vitamin C (50 mg): vitamin C wrapped in a fat layer for better absorption. Your body needs vitamin C to make its own collagen, and Cyborg Sport adds liposomal vitamin C to enhance collagen absorption.

Collagen protein water vs whey protein

Collagen and whey do different jobs. Whey is a complete protein that's high in leucine, the amino acid that switches on muscle building. Collagen is rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, the building blocks of your skin, tendons, ligaments and joints. Collagen on its own is not a complete protein, so Collagen Protein Water works best as one part of a diet with other protein sources like meat, eggs, dairy or a whey shake. The upside of collagen is the drink itself: Collagen Protein Water mixes clear and light like a juice, while whey mixes thick and milky.

How to take Collagen Protein Water

Mix 1 scoop (28.5 g) with 350 ml of cold water, then let the drink settle for a minute so the foam drops. Use more or less water to suit your taste. Have 1 to 3 serves a day, with one after training on workout days. Cyborg Sport's tip: mix up a 1 to 2 litre jug and keep the jug in the fridge, so a cold protein drink is always ready.

11 flavours

The fruit flavours mix up light and juice-like, not milky. The dessert flavours give you a lighter take on a chocolate or vanilla shake.

• Acai Bowl: mixed berry and acai
• Strawberry Candy: sweet strawberry lolly
• Watermelon: fresh summer watermelon
• Juicy Mango: ripe tropical mango
• Sunset Fruits: a tropical fruit mix
• Lemon Lime: zesty citrus
• Raspberry Pineapple: berry and pineapple
• Chocolate Shake, Choc-Honeycomb and Vanilla: the dessert flavours
• Naturally Unflavoured: add to smoothies or your morning coffee
