MyProtein
Clear Whey Protein + Collagen 500 g

It is a clear whey protein combined with hydrolysed type I bovine collagen peptides and vitamin C. Instead of a thick, milky shake, it creates a light, fruity, juice-like drink when mixed with water. A 25 g serving contains 21 g of protein, 10 g of collagen, and 52 mg of vitamin C, at only 91 kcal. It is suitable for those who want to supplement both protein and collagen in a refreshing format without the classic creamy consistency.

Mix one scoop (25 g) of powder with 400 ml of cold water and shake thoroughly. Some foam may form after shaking, so wait for it to settle before drinking. The manufacturer recommends using a kitchen scale for precise dosing. The drink should be prepared exclusively with water, not milk, as the goal is to achieve a light, clear consistency similar to fruit tea or lemonade.

The drink can be consumed after strength or endurance training to top up protein, but it is equally suitable during the day as a lighter alternative to a standard protein shake. Due to its low fat and sugar content, it is easy on digestion and serves as a refreshing drink outside of training sessions. The exact time of use is not critically tied to training; total daily protein intake is more important.

A single 25 g serving contains 21 g of protein and 10 g of collagen, with an energy value of 91 kcal. The protein component comprises 91% of the product, derived from hydrolysed whey protein isolate and hydrolysed type I bovine collagen peptides. The product also contains 52 mg of vitamin C per serving, which supports collagen formation and immune system function.

Yes, the product contains milk as the main ingredient is hydrolysed whey protein isolate derived from milk. Milk is the only allergen listed in the ingredients, so it is not suitable for those with a milk protein allergy. Individuals with lactose intolerance should consume with caution as the exact amount of residual lactose is not declared.

No, the product is not suitable for vegans or strict vegetarians because it contains whey protein from milk and hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides of animal origin. Collagen is found exclusively in animal tissues, so there is no plant-based alternative to collagen used in this product. For a vegan diet, one should look for plant-based protein sources without collagen.

The main difference is in consistency and usage: standard whey protein is mixed with milk or water to form a thick, creamy shake, while Clear Whey Protein + Collagen is prepared exclusively with water to create a light, fruity, juice-like drink. Additionally, it contains 10 g of collagen peptides and 52 mg of vitamin C per serving, which standard whey protein does not provide. The 21 g protein content per serving is comparable to standard isolates.

Standalone collagen supplements usually contain only collagen peptides without significant amounts of other proteins, whereas this product combines 21 g of total protein per serving (10 g collagen + hydrolysed whey isolate). Consequently, it provides a full source of essential amino acids from whey protein, which pure collagen alone does not offer. The added vitamin C also supports the body's natural collagen production.

The 500 g package contains 20 servings of 25 g, which lasts approximately 20 days if used once a day. Considering the combination of high protein (21 g), collagen (10 g), and vitamin C in one portion, it acts as a dual-purpose product, replacing separate whey protein and collagen supplements, which may be more cost-effective than buying them separately.

The product is available in four flavours: Peach Tea, Black Cherry, Lemon Iced Tea, and Raspberry Lemonade. All flavours are designed to resemble a light fruit drink or iced tea when mixed with water, rather than a classic milky protein shake. This is ideal for those who dislike the thick, creamy texture of conventional whey proteins.

The product contains the sweetener sucralose (E955) and anti-foaming agents like silica and dimethylpolysiloxane, which are commonly used and approved in the food industry in the recommended dosages. Individuals sensitive to milk protein or sweeteners should consider their individual tolerance. No serious side effects are known when following the recommended 25 g daily dose, but as with any supplement, do not exceed the recommended amount.

Yes, the product holds Informed Choice certification, confirming regular testing for substances banned in sport. This is particularly important for competitive athletes who must be mindful of the origin and purity of their supplements, making it a safe choice for those subject to anti-doping controls.

Yes, it can be combined with other common supplements like creatine, as it does not contain stimulants or ingredients that would conflict with them. Due to its low fat (0 g) and sugar (less than 0.5 g per serving) content, it fits well into various meal plans, including low-carb ones. When stacking multiple supplements, it is advisable to monitor your total daily protein and nutrient intake.

Vitamin C, present at 52 mg per serving, contributes to normal collagen formation for the proper function of cartilage and supports normal immune system function. Its inclusion complements the effect of the added collagen peptides, as the body requires vitamin C for efficient synthesis of its own collagen. It is therefore a functional ingredient of the product, not just nutritional.

The product is suitable for active individuals who want to easily increase their daily protein intake and add collagen to their diet without needing two separate supplements. It is useful after strength or endurance training, throughout the day to boost protein intake, or as a lighter alternative to a classic milk-based protein shake for those who dislike thick consistency. Due to its milk content, it is not suitable for those with milk protein allergies or vegans.
