Recovery & tendon support — a simple post-workout routine for men who train.
After training, most men focus on muscle recovery — usually with whey protein. But training stress doesn’t just affect muscles. It also places load on tendons, joints, and connective tissue.
This post-workout smoothie combines protein for muscle repair with collagen for connective tissue support, creating a more complete recovery routine.
- Protein supports muscle repair
- Collagen supports tendons, joints & connective tissue
- Using both covers recovery more completely
Why add collagen after training?
Whey protein is excellent for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. However, it contains low amounts of glycine and proline — amino acids essential for connective tissue.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, which is why it is commonly paired with collagen in evidence-led formulations.
- Supports training longevity
- Complements whey protein rather than replacing it
- Useful for high-impact or high-volume training
- Simple to add to existing routines
