Liquid Collagen for Enhanced Flexibility and Explosive Power Output

Performance progression is fundamentally limited not just by muscle volume, but by the integrity of the body’s supporting structures—the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. This collective connective tissue matrix is the foundation for durability and explosive function. 

OOST ReGen & Recover is a strategic, science-backed liquid nutritional solution designed to reinforce this foundation. This analysis examines the peer-reviewed evidence and the specific mechanistic pathways that demonstrate how this unique formulation supports superior flexibility, post-exercise recovery, muscle repair, and increased power output for the high-performing individual.  


 

The Bioavailability Breakthrough: Liquid Delivery for Rapid Tissue Repair

 

The OOST formulation champions a liquid delivery system utilising Hydrolysed Marine Collagen, a structural protein essential for connective tissue,. In elite sports nutrition, the speed and completeness of ingredient delivery are paramount. 

 

 

Superior Absorption Fuels Faster Connective Tissue Synthesis

 

Collagen, in its whole form, is a large protein requiring significant digestive effort. By using hydrolysed collagen (collagen peptides), OOST provides a pre-digested form ready for absorption. 

 

The key advantage is the liquid format. Unlike supplements delivered in pills or capsules, which often achieve an estimated absorption rate of 40–45%, liquid formulas can facilitate absorption rates of up to 90–95%. This efficiency ensures the concentrated amino acid components required for Connective Tissue Protein Synthesis (CTPS) reach the bloodstream quickly , bypassing slow digestive barriers.  

This rapid, superior delivery ensures the 8g dose of Marine Collagen is immediately available to reinforce the Extracellular Matrix (ECM)—the scaffolding that maintains muscle structure and efficiently transmits contractile force. This mechanism is the direct path to resilient muscle repair and growth.   

 


 

Accelerated Recovery: The Curcumin/Piperine Performance Link

 

Effective post-exercise recovery relies on mitigating systemic inflammation and reducing Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage (EIMD). OOST strategically includes Curcumin, a known anti-inflammatory compound, but addresses its primary limitation through a critical synergy.   

 

The 2,000% Bioavailability Boost

 

When consumed alone, Curcumin is rapidly metabolised and eliminated by the liver and intestines, resulting in virtually zero systemic bioavailability. This metabolic hurdle renders many standard Curcumin supplements ineffective.   

 

OOST includes Black Pepper Extract (Piperine). Piperine acts as a metabolic inhibitor, blocking the key enzymes responsible for breaking down Curcumin. Scientific literature confirms that combining Piperine with Curcumin can enhance its absorption and systemic blood levels by up to 2,000% , transforming it into a functionally effective ingredient.   

 

This potent, bioavailable complex provides robust recovery support. Studies indicate that Curcumin/Piperine supplementation can lead to a moderately faster recovery in performance indices, such as sprint mean power output, following strenuous activity. Reducing the functional deficit between sessions is the fundamental mechanism for achieving better performance over time.   

 


 

Optimising Elite Flexibility and Cartilage Function

 

The synergistic blend in OOST supports the maintenance of functional range of motion and elite flexibility by addressing both the structural and inflammatory components of physical activity.   

 

  • Structural Support (Collagen & Vitamin C): Hydrolysed Marine Collagen reinforces the structure of tendons and cartilage. Vitamin C is included because it is an essential co-factor that contributes to the normal formation of collagen required for the normal function of cartilage, , supporting smooth, pain-free movement.   

  • Cartilage Component Maintenance (Glucosamine & Chondroitin): Glucosamine Sulphate and Chondroitin Sulphate are precursors for molecules vital to the cushioning and shock-absorbing capacity of cartilage. For active individuals subjected to high training loads, these ingredients support the proactive maintenance of these critical structures.   

     

  • Managing Stiffness: The highly-absorbed Curcumin/Piperine blend helps mitigate the pain and inflammatory response that can restrict functional flexibility and range of motion after intense exercise.   

     


 

The Science of Power Output Optimisation

 

The capacity to generate explosive power—the signature of elite athleticism—is dependent on efficient neuromuscular drive and resilient connective tissue. OOST contains components that support both of these critical areas.   

 

 

Vitamin D3: Supporting Muscle Function and Power

 

OOST includes Vitamin D3, a critical micronutrient for power generation,. Vitamin D receptors are highly expressed in skeletal muscle, where they influence neuromuscular control and the function of Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibres—the primary components responsible for rapid, explosive power.   

 

Clinical evidence demonstrates that Vitamin D insufficiency correlates with significantly lower peak torque values, reduced vertical jump height, and slower sprint times in athletes. By ensuring optimal Vitamin D status, OOST helps support the physiological machinery necessary for peak power output and strength.   

 

 

Connective Tissue and Force Transmission

 

Long-term, consistent supplementation with collagen peptides enhances the quality and integrity of tendons , which is crucial for the efficient transfer of force from contracting muscles to the bones. This structural reinforcement is associated with supporting maximal strength and, importantly, reactive strength recovery —a key measure of explosive performance capacity.  

 


 

Quality Assurance: Informed Sport Certified

 

For athletes competing at any level, assurance regarding banned substances is non-negotiable. OOST ReGen & Recover’s Informed Sport Certified status is the ultimate commitment to quality and transparency. This rigorous third-party testing confirms that every batch is free from substances prohibited in sport, allowing the athlete to focus solely on training and performance.   

 


 

Fuel Your Foundation. Fuel Your Gains.

 

OOST ReGen & Recover is formulated as a nutritional investment in athletic durability. By reinforcing the critical infrastructure of connective tissue, accelerating post-exercise recovery through enhanced anti-inflammatories, and optimising power generation via key micronutrients, OOST provides the holistic support required to maintain high training volume and consistency—the true measure of better performance.   

Simply tear open and drink one convenient, delicious sachet daily post-workout or as part of your recovery routine.
