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 whey or plant protein with hydrolysed collagen peptides - two protein sources with very different amino acid profiles.
- Whey protein is high in the branched-chain amino acids
- Collagen is the structural protein that forms part of tendon, ligament and cartilage
- The two have different amino acid profiles
Why add collagen after training?
Whey protein is high in leucine and the other branched-chain amino acids. It contains comparatively little glycine and proline - two amino acids that are abundant in collagen.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones, skin, blood vessels, gums and teeth. This authorised claim relates to the Vitamin C in Revayo Prime.
- Complements whey protein rather than replacing it
- Commonly used by men doing high-impact or high-volume training
- Simple to add to existing routines

Build a smarter recovery routine
Recovery isn’t just about muscles. Sleep, sensible training load and enough total protein are what the evidence actually supports - a collagen drink is a food supplement taken alongside those, not instead of them.
