What Is Hydrolysed Collagen Protein?

Hydrolysed collagen is collagen that has been processed into smaller peptide chains. You may also see it written as hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptides; these terms refer to the same general ingredient category.

Ascend Performance Protein uses bovine collagen rather than a milk-derived protein source. This makes it relevant to shoppers comparing collagen powders with conventional whey shakes.

PEPTINEX® and TENDOFORTE® Collagen Peptides

The supplied product label lists 28g of the combined PEPTINEX® / TENDOFORTE® blend per 33g serve. This is the ingredient-blend quantity; the nutrition panel separately lists 25.08g of protein.

TENDOFORTE® is a branded collagen peptide ingredient developed for tendon and ligament nutrition. It gives the product a specific collagen ingredient identity for shoppers who want to understand what is in their shake.

Why Is Tryptophan Added?

The ingredient list includes tryptophan. Ascend describes this addition as providing all nine essential amino acids in the finished formula.

This is useful information when comparing collagen powders, but the presence of all nine essential amino acids does not mean every protein powder provides them in the same amounts or has the same muscle-building properties.

Collagen Protein vs Whey Protein

Collagen protein and whey protein have different amino acid profiles. Whey is milk-derived and generally richer in leucine, while collagen has a different balance of amino acids.

Ascend is a practical choice when your priorities include a dairy-free protein source and collagen ingredients. If your main priority is maximising muscle-building nutrition, consider the amino acid profile of your protein powder alongside your overall diet and training.

You can also use different protein sources across the day. Choosing a collagen shake does not require every other protein source in your diet to be collagen.

LAB4 Probiotics™

Ascend Performance Protein includes LAB4 Probiotics™, with 30 billion CFU per serve listed on the supplied label.

That figure describes the label declaration. Individual digestive tolerance varies, and the inclusion of probiotics does not guarantee that a product will suit every person.

How to Use Ascend Performance Protein

Mix one heaped scoop, approximately 33g, with 250-500mL of water or your preferred beverage. Shake thoroughly before drinking.

Use more liquid for a lighter shake or less liquid for a thicker consistency. You can also blend it into a smoothie or add it to breakfast cereal as suggested on the label. Mixing with milk changes the finished drink’s nutrition and makes it contain dairy.

• A protein powder made with bovine collagen peptides.
• A dairy-free alternative to their usual whey shake.
• A convenient way to include collagen protein in a varied diet.
• A formula that includes added tryptophan and a labelled probiotic blend.

It is animal-derived and not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ascend Performance Protein whey protein?
No. Its protein source is hydrolysed bovine collagen, rather than whey or casein.

Is it dairy free?
Ascend describes the formula as dairy free. Check the current packaging for allergen statements, particularly if you have a diagnosed allergy.

How much protein does it contain?
The supplied label lists 25.08g protein per 33g serve - approximately 25g.

Is the whole powder 100% collagen?
No. Collagen is the protein source, but the finished flavoured formula also contains other ingredients. “100% collagen protein source” refers to that source, rather than the entire contents of the tub.

Does it contain added tryptophan?
Yes. Tryptophan appears in the supplied ingredient list.

Is collagen protein the same as whey for building muscle?
No. Protein sources differ in their amino acid composition. Added tryptophan does not make collagen identical to whey.

How many serves are in this tub?
The supplied label lists 27 serves at 33g. Check your selected size and current packaging for its serving count.

Can I use it during a calorie-controlled diet?
You can account for its 127.47 calories per labelled serve within your daily intake. Any beverage or food you mix it with adds its own calories. This product is not a fat burner or a complete meal replacement.
