TRR Pro Advanced Collagen

My aim at the start of the review was two fold: to train hard one day and wake up over the next few days with less stiffness and soreness, and secondly, for my aching joints and my back to calm down from something like a yell to being more of a whimper, allowing me to train more consistently. That’s not too much to ask for from a product which claims to provide that kind of solution condensed down into a 50ml bottle. The product contains Marine Collagen, Turmeric, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, ginger, vitamin c and copper (please refer to their website for dosage amounts as it would take too long to write). If you didn’t know, Collagen holds tissue and cells together in your body. It’s a major part of your body’s structure but modern low fat diets don’t allow us to absorb enough collagen (unless you sucking on that horrible fatty bit on steaks…) The reason why fish collagen was used. It contains more type 1 than any other source and this is the primary building block of skin and cartilage, so it makes sense. Turmeric has been used throughout the ages for it’s perceived health benefits in particular with joints so it makes sense that’s in there too. Glucosamine is another building block for growth, repair and maintenance of cartilage and also makes sense. Vit C, Ginger and Copper are also either in there to promote healthy immune systems or to help the body process the other materials.

Copper did bug me a little, around the whole ‘adding a metal to my body’ conversation; but when reading about it, I found it helps process the collagen and supports a healthy body so I accepted that it was required.
