Quicker results keep motivation alive

摘要

Smart dietary choices that help people to achieve quicker results help them to stay motivated and passionate about sports. Therefore, CELITA has recently investigated the effects of specific collagen peptides (BODYBALANCE®) on body composition and toning in younger and middle-aged adults. 114 healthy, less sporty men with a mean age of 30 - 60 were treated with 15 g BODYBALANCE® per day for 12 weeks. The results were compared with a placebo group. Changes in the body composition (fat-free mass, fat mass) were measured by DXA scans. In addition, muscle strength, waist circumference and various blood parameters were determined. The results of the primary endpoint of the study revealed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) increase in fat-free mass after BODYBALANCE® supplementation compared to placebo. The positive effect was also reflected in the results of the secondary study criteria. BODYBALANCE® treatment led to statistically significant fat mass reduction (p < 0.05), whereas there was an improvement trend in muscle strength and waist circumference after collagen peptide intake.
