Who would have thought the difference between liquid collagen supplements and the powder form were so different?
They are in fact very different, and that differentiation can mean the difference between a smooth recovery from an injury, or a bit of a rougher road.
According to webmd.com, “Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity, or stretchiness. It’s in your bones, muscles, and blood, comprising three-quarters of your skin and a third of the protein in your body.”
But as we age, the website continues, collagen breaks down and your body has to work harder to produce it.
This is where collagen supplements come in. And this is where Frog Fuel plays a pivotal role in maintaining your health, as you recover from an injury sustained during a workout or competition.
Developed by the team at OP2 Labs, Frog Fuel is a clinically-proven, high-quality, nano-hydrolyzed collagen protein supplement for athletes recovering from workouts and injuries.
OP2 Labs Founders and former Navy SEALs Alexander Kunz and Jeff Byers partnered with some of the world’s top chemists and medical professionals to create Frog Fuel. The supplement is answering the call for a versatile product that can be used by those who know all about versatility—athletes.
As for the OP2 Labs track record, the company in 2022 was named by Inc. Magazine —for the third straight year—as one of the nation’s 5000 fastest-growing companies. Also, OP2 Labs annually has surpassed its previous ranking.
As for Frog Fuel, unlike other collagen supplements, it has been fortified to be a complete protein.
Unlike a powder supplement, Frog Fuel is highly-concentrated and ready-to-drink.
Thanks to its liquid state, Frog Fuel within minutes of consumption is fully-digestible. That means anyone who drinks Frog Fuel will have less sloshing around in their stomachs during workouts and competitions.
“Our liquid collagen has four times more protein per fluid ounce compared to powder,” said OP2 Labs Chief Marketing Officer Aaron Saari. “It also doesn’t require messy mixing, so you can just throw a packet in your bag and you’re ready to go. Instead of an 8 ounce protein powder shake, you can just take our easy, ready-to-drink shot.”
Liquid collagen supplements are typically easier to consume than powdered drinks because they are ready-to-use and require no mixing with water or other beverages. Liquid collagen supplements can be absorbed more quickly by the body because what you are drinking has already been broken down into small molecules.
In other words, the body does not have to work as hard to digest Frog Fuel.
“Our nano-hydrolyzed protein digests four times faster than leading protein powders,” Aaron said. “This means your muscles get the protein they need much faster compared to a powder.”
