NUTRITION
With the global sports nutrition market expected to
reach an estimated value of USD 37.7 billion in 20191,
the market for sports and active nutrition products
has rapidly moved from a professional athletes niche
into the mainstream.
protein in various forms can help ensure adequate and
qualitative protein intake for athletes.2
Globally, this trend is being driven by growing consumer
awareness of the role of nutrition in athletic performance and
personal appearance. The market for products such as
nutritional bars and sports beverages is subsequently adapting
and innovating as manufacturers increasingly target
recreational, health-conscious sports people. As the market
expands, substantial levels of research continue into ingredients
that can support both professional and recreational athletes in
achieving their goals.
Furthermore, proteins of different origins vary in their amino
acid composition and digestibility and can provide different
health benefits. Finding the optimum protein source and
designing protein blends for specific nutritional benefits is not
easy. It is therefore crucial for sports nutrition product
manufacturers to use safe, proven, highly functional sources of
proteins that can not only attract the attention of the
potentially overwhelmed consumer but are also easy to
integrate with other sources of protein.
PEPTAN COLLAGEN PEPTIDES,
A BIOACTIVE PROTEIN SOLUTION
®
Widely recognized as an essential nutrient for active nutrition,
bioactive proteins like collagen peptides can deliver numerous
benefits beyond muscle building. These include improving
athletic performance, protecting connective tissues, supporting
healthy joints and helping to reduce the risk of injury.
Expert panels recommend physically active individuals to have
a higher protein intake than the general population. For active
individuals, 1.4 g/kg up to 2.0 g/kg body weight/day, not only is
this safe, but may improve the training and is well adapted to
allow recovery after exercise training. While it is possible for
physically active individuals to obtain their daily protein
requirements through a varied, regular diet, supplemental
The soaring popularity experienced by proteins in the last few
years, means there is now a large number of products and lots
of information competing for consumer attention.
Peptan collagen peptides are a pure, bioactive and easily
digestible protein source.
Peptan is perfectly positioned for sports nutrition products:

ACTIVE NUTRITION
Peptan contains 18 amino acids, the building blocks
of our tissues and the primary component of
protein. Glycine, proline and hydroxy-proline
represent around 50% of Peptan’s total amino acid
content; while arginine is 4 times higher than in a
whey protein concentrate. This unique composition
allows Peptan to offer multiple benefits linked to
athletic performance and connective tissue support
not found with other protein sources.
contraction during periods of high intensity exercise and also
helps to replace depleted ATP levels. Peptan, which consists of
20% glycine and 8% arginine, may support the synthesis of
creatine in the body to improve performance during short bursts
of exercise and help athletes to increase their body mass3.

MUSCLE RESTORATION
During and after long periods of exercise, protein loss can
occur in the muscles as their structural integrity is
compromised by oxidation, membrane microlesions and
inflammatory reactions. A diet with Peptan as a protein source
just after exercise may enhance muscle anabolism, replacing
lost proteins and helping to maintain and restore the protein
content of the muscles while also reducing recovery time.
AIDING MUSCULAR CONTRACTION
Muscular function is dependent on the energy produced by the
breakdown of a compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
in cells. Creatine is a molecule consisting of three amino acids
– glycine, arginine and methionine – that can aid muscular

IMPROVING ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Oral arginine supplements may also have a beneficial effect on
athletic performance, even at a low dose.4 A daily
recommended dose of 10g of Peptan generates almost 1g of
arginine per day. A study showed that 1g supplements of
arginine and ornithine taken five days per week for five weeks
can increase strength.5 Studies suggest that arginine stimulates
the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, which
may explain performance improvement.6

Sports, such as running and cycling, often involve repetitive,
high impact movements that can lead to damage to cartilage,
tendons and ligaments and result in excess stress on joints.
Research has shown that collagen peptides may help protect
the joint matrix and the connective tissues. A study involving
147 sports enthusiasts showed a statistically significant
reduction in joint pain among the group that took collagen
peptides.7 Collagen peptides can support connective tissues
and limit discomfort as well as the risk of any joint related
injury, by increasing the production of cartilage matrix,
aggrecan and type II collagen.8 A large scale study following
three different categories of athletes demonstrated that a
supplementation with a mix of collagen peptides, BCAA and
arginine over a period of two years decreased the injury rate
for tendon-ligaments, joints and muscle.9 Another in-vivo
study investigated the effect of daily collagen peptides intake
on the quality of the Achilles tendon. After 8 weeks, a
significant increase in collagen fibril diameter was observed,
indicating that collagen peptides may help to strengthen the
Achilles tendon.10
PROTECTING THE SKIN
Exercise often exposes the skin to harsh conditions, such as
extreme temperatures or chlorine if swimming in pools.
Collagen is the main component of the dermis and maintaining
collagen levels is key to keeping skin hydrated and protected
against environmental effects. Collagen peptides can support
skin health through their regenerative effects, and several
clinical studies show that collagen peptides moisturize the skin
when taken orally on a daily basis.11
SATIATING EFFECTS
Known to be among the most satiating macronutrients,
proteins can prevent cravings and help people reach their
fitness and weight goals. Peptan collagen peptides are
particularly renowned for their ability to help individuals lose
or maintain weight when incorporated in weight management
formulations. An in vivo study conducted in 2006 by the
Laboratory of Physiology and Ingestive Behavior, INRA-

Follow-up of the weight of rats over a period of 24 days. Animals were fed with
a diet including Peptan® F, Peptan® B, Peptan® P, or a dairy standard protein as
control. All diets had the same amounts of calories/proteins/carbohydrates/fat
and were standardized for the level of tryptophan.
A 2009 study demonstrated the improved satiating effect of
collagen peptides on humans, in comparison to other
proteins.12 The study showed that collagen peptides – taken
alone or supplemented with tryptophan – are 30 to 50% more
satiating than casein, soy or whey.

Various Rousselot studies reported consistent findings in
animals and humans.
There are several possible mechanisms behind the appetite
suppressing effect of Peptan collagen peptides.
1. The slowing of gastric emptying caused by the proteins in
the stomach
2. Collagen peptides may stimulate hormones involved in satiety
3. Proteins such as collagen peptides may modulate
thermogenesis and thereby increase energy expenditure
