Trusted by Personal Trainers: Collagen Peptides
Meet Jen 👋

Meet Jen, amazing personal trainer and passionate advocate of collagen peptides.

Jen Davis is 43 years young and an experienced personal trainer - working with clients of all ages but specialising in women with peri-menopause and menopause.

She is a huge fan of collagen peptides, using them in both her personal and professional life to promote physical health and overall wellness.

"I've been using collagen peptides religiously for 3 years now."

As well as using collagen peptides in her morning coffee and post-workout shakes, Jen also highly recommends that her clients supplement their diet with collagen too. Let's find out why!

Why Jen Recommends Hunter & Gather Collagen Peptides to all of her Clients ✨

Not all collagen peptides are created equal - and there is a good reason why an expert such as Jen would stay loyal to Hunter & Gather Collagen Peptides for no less than 3 years.

"It's so great because it's just one ingredient - hydrolysed collagen - from European Grass Fed cattle. So it really fits with my ethos on nutrition."

That means no hidden nasties, bulking agents, artificial ingredients or preservatives - all things an expert such as Jen would look to eliminate from her diet and that of her clients.

Hunter & Gather Collagen peptides are also super versatile with no nasty aftertaste, meaning it is simple and easy to incorporate collagen supplementation into your daily routine.

"I love to put it in my coffee but it's really good in loads of other things too, as well as shakes, so it's super easy!"

Benefits of Collagen Peptides for Movement & Recovery 💪

You've probably heard that collagen supplementation can have some incredible benefits for a healthy gut, strong hair, skin & nails, mental wellness and even promoting longevity.

But did you know that collagen supplements are an invaluable supplement for personal trainers, athletes and anyone who embraces getting more movement as part of a healthy lifestyle.

  • Muscle Recovery & Post-Exercise

As a personal trainer, Jen knows that post-exercise recovery is as important as the workout itself.

What we eat, drink and how we move (or don't move, i.e. rest!) can have a real impact on post-exercise recovery time.

"I recommend collagen for muscle recovery, joint soreness, connective tissue and lots of other things as well."

Jen recommends that her clients incorporate collagen peptides into their post-workout routine - enjoying within an hour or so of exercise to provide all of these benefits.

Not only does collagen help you to bounce back quicker, ready for the next workout, but it also helps to prevent injury and promote overall strength.

  • Flexibility & Mobility

Whichever type of movement you enjoy - from a brisk walk to a moderate gym session or an epic CrossFit class - being flexible is always a plus point.

Collagen is a key structural protein in our connective tissue and joints, helping to improve mobility and flexibility for optimal physical performance.

As collagen levels decline as we age, supplementing your diet with collagen can help to replenish your body's natural stores. This in turn can help to mitigate the negative effects of ageing on flexibility and physical capacity.

This is a great reason why Jen loves to recommend collagen peptides to her peri-menopausal and menopausal clients, to help fuel an active lifestyle and protect against some of the physical signs of ageing.

  • Joint & Bone Health

Collagen is probably best known for its benefits to bone health. It plays a role in the formation and maintenance of bone tissue throughout our entire lives.

Jen tells us that supplementing your diet with collagen can help to improve bone strength, combat the effect of ageing bones and promote healthy bone turnover (boosting bone regeneration).

Our bones are super important for mobility, and we couldn’t go far or do much without them. Joints act as a sort of hinge between bones, allowing you to run, jump and bounce around without your bones grinding together and deteriorating!

Getting enough collagen can prevent joint pain and lessen the negative effect that ageing has on our joints. This will help you to stay stronger for longer, keeping active to a ripe old age!
