Uddelaer peptan® sports beer has been developed and based on various scientific studies.

Uddelaer Peptan® Sportbier contains a high concentration of specific amino acids. Various topsporters drink Uddelaer Sportbier after physical efforts. So they will be well prepared for the next training or match.

In a large-scale study of several athletes who took a mix of Peptan® collagen peptides, BCAA and arginine over a two-year period, reduced tendon, ligament and muscle injuries were experienced. The supplements also played a beneficial role in injury prevention and tissue repair.

 Because when you exercise intensively, muscles can be damaged. Long periods of exertion cause protein loss in the muscle as a result of oxidation. Luckily your body can repair this itself. You need amino acids for this: these are a kind of 'building blocks' for your muscles. You also need carbohydrates to give your body enough energy to transport the amino acids to the right place. 

Many popular sports, such as running and cycling, involve repetitive, powerful movements. These can result in excessive strain on joints and even damage to cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Collagen is a glue-forming protein that is a very important part of the connective tissue in the bodies of humans and animals. It provides strength. Our joints, bones, muscles, hair and nails consist of collagen. Collagen also ensures the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Peptan collagen peptides is a pure, concentrated source of high quality natural protein. Peptan consists of 20% glycine and 8% arginine and may support the synthesis of creatine in the body, which may improve performance during short intense efforts. Creatine is a molecule that can help with muscle contraction during periods of intense training, while also helping to maintain ATP levels. Human muscle function depends on the energy produced by the breakdown of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in our cells.

Peptan® produces a satiating effect and is more effective than standard dairy proteins. A 2009 study showed the improved satiating effect of collagen peptides on humans compared to other proteins. 
Peptan® (collagen peptides) is pure protein. As Brouwerij De Uddelaer, we are allowed to use the term 'High Protein' because 21.55% of the energy content of a 330ml can of Uddelaer Peptan® Sport Beer comes from the ingredient Peptan.
