As I look in the mirror today; I want to feel better, look better, and have more energy. But as everybody knows, losing weight permanently is a slow and steady race to win. So when I received the opportunity to try Collagen Sport {Ultimate Recovery Complex} I was really excited. Its a real and valid nutritional supplement to gain better health while trimming pounds naturally with diet and exercise.
Collagen Sport is a whey isolate complex. What does that mean? It means it is a dietary supplement that is PACKED with nutrients, protein, and as its title suggests, Collagen. This product was designed to assist you in a muscular, joint, and energy format. So in one grand swoop {or in this case scoop}, I found an amazing product that allows me to mix up a fast, nutrient dense protein shake.
Though this is geared for athletes; Its also perfect for the endless demands of a parent too. Which I can attest, does quite a number on you. {My youngest is now just over one year old.} Breastfeeding and crazy hormones have made my nails brittle and my hair lack-luster.
With little to no sleep, I am stuck with my hand in a candy jar for energy boosts. And as a result, the added “baby weight” is now simply my weight now. I never seem to have time to eat healthy meals. My joints ache; And that doesn’t begin to tell you about the ligament and muscle recovery needed from my last pregnancy and cesarean section.
My personal road to recovery started 30 days ago, with drinking Collagen Sport 1-2 times a day. The normal serving is 8-oz, but I even found that drinking 4-oz was the perfect pick-me-up. I’ll add it to my iced coffee; I’ve blended it into a awesome breakfast shake; I’ve even sprinkled it over my yogurt. By slowly integrating it into my daily routine, I’ve noticed a big difference. Most notably, taking it has seemed to banish the perpetual brain-fog I acquired with the title “Mommy”.
Is there any bad? Not where I’m concerned. These mixes aren’t for setting aside and sipping to your leisure. {I’ve yet to try a protein drink that is.} It isn’t meant for any child under 6 either due to that added iron content. So if you have young ones like myself, don’t share. Which was kind of nice to reinforce for once {LOL}. These also mix great whether by spoon, shaker, or blender. In fact, they even hold a nice froth when blended.
And the added benefit of the Collagen? My nails are strong again and my hair has drastically improved in shine and texture. All of these elements are due to the Collagen Sport Ultimate Recovery Complex design; Replenish, Regenerate, Refuel, and Recover.
Another great example to note is 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist, {and NeoCell’s Collagen Sport brand ambassador} Kayla Harrison! She suffered a severe knee injury but amazingly healed in just four months to compete in Judo to win GOLD during the London Olympics. She credits Collagen Sport with assisting in her speedy recovery.

I love that Neocell protein powders are aimed at refueling, recovery, regeneration, and replenishing after exercise. It sounds like a complete protein powder. I also love that it’s sugar-free and doesn’t use artificial sweeteners!

I’m definitely guilty of being one of those athletes that all too often does not supplement my connective tissues in tendons and ligaments until deterioration sets in…….I love that this helps combat that, and has BCAAS!!
