Avoiding Joint Injury
Joints take a pounding during most sports activities including weight training, running, endurance events and boxing. Most athletes will at some point in their career experience joint problems and injuries. Often it is not until injury occurs that people think of taking any action.
CNP Professional, the leading supplier of sports nutrition supplements, has formulated Pro Tect, a blend of collagen and glucosamine, to maintain and encourage healthy joints. Both collagen and glucosamine are well-known for their tissue-healing properties.
A daily dose of Pro Tect supplies the nutrients needed to assist in the strengthening of connective tissues in joints and reduce the potential for injury. Pro Tect isn’t only for athletes: it’s for anyone who suffers from aches and pains in the joints or who wants to lessen the effects of joint wear and tear.
"We believe in the pro-active rather than the re-active approach," explains Kerry Kayes, founder of CNP and himself a former champion bodybuilder. "Why wait until injury occurs before taking supplements. The athlete can look upon Pro Tect as a form of insurance policy and take it regularly to build joint strength and extend competitive life."
The active constituents of Pro Tect are: collagen hydrolysate, a protein that acts as a building block for the regeneration and synthesis of articular cartilage; and glucosamine sulphate, an amino sugar necessary for the construction and maintenance of connective tissue.
Pro Tect is supplied in powdered form and can simply be added to water to make a summer fruit flavoured drink. Each 500g tub is enough for 31 servings and a single serving contains only 60 calories and zero fat. It is available from the CNP website www.cnpprofessional.co.uk at a discounted price of £17.30 or from retail outlets for £21.63.
