As I recently stated in my previous post...my husband and I just started recently working out. I was very excited when Neocell Sport contacted me to review this product.

The 4 in 1 Breakdown:
1 - Refuel
Whey Protein Isolate is THE preferred and superior form of
protein for athletes. It’s rich in essential and branched chain amino
acids (BCAAs), necessary especially after strenuous workouts. BCAAs
also play a role in the body’s levels of glutathione, an important
antioxidant in the immune system. NeoCell’s whey protein isolate is
developed using selective ion-exchange technology, which selects the
primary functional and nutritional proteins alpha- and beta-
lactoglobulins and other protein fractions for a highly effective and
bio-active protein.
2 - Recover
Athletes all too often do not supplement their connective
tissues in tendons and ligaments until deterioration sets in, resulting
in the typical aches and pains of exercise. Super Collagen® 1&3
undergoes an absorption-enhancing process that uses enzyme
hydrolyzation. This process yields low molecular weight collagen
peptides for maximum bioavailability. Super Collagen® 1&3 is
particularly rich in the amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxyproline
and hydroxylysine, and supports recovery, strength, and flexibility of
muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
3 - Regenerate
L-Glutamine & Exogenous Amino Acids – Strenuous activity
burns through your body’s glutamine supplies, which can push the body
to rip glutamine from your muscles if it isn’t coming from your diet.
L-glutamine is the most abundant free-form amino acid in skeletal muscle
and is crucial in the muscle recovery process. The special chemical
structure of L-glutamine makes it the primary amino acid that drives
nitrogen into muscle cells for muscle synthesis. Exogenous amino acids
overall are important for increase of net muscle protein synthesis.
4 – Replenish
Each serving of Collagen Sport™ provides a good source of
daily vitamins and minerals as well as the antioxidant power of
Pomegranate extract. Increased activity results in higher oxidation in
the body, requiring active individuals to counteract with high quality
antioxidants. NeoCell’s pomegranate extract is standardized to 70%
ellagic acid, an extraordinary antioxidant that fights cell-damaging
free radicals generated during exercise.
Review:
I was very excited to try out this protein shake. I must admit when I mixed it with water it was gritty, chalky, and did not blend well. It tasted horrible. I read on the bottle you could mix it in your favorite smoothie. Yay!! I am glad I tried it in a smoothie. It was so yummy that way. My smoothie recipe is:
1 cup coconut milk
1 banana
3-4 ice cubes
one scoop vanilla collagen sport
