Why 40UP® in pancakes?
40UP® was formulated specifically around the nutritional needs of muscle after 40.
Each 60 g serve provides 37.3 g of protein, together with 3.5 g leucine, 3 g creatine, 4.8 g glycine and 10 g of Peptan® collagen peptides. CollagenX
That combination makes 40UP® particularly convenient for building a protein-rich breakfast without having to assemble multiple supplements separately.
And the natural vanilla bean flavour works beautifully in pancakes.
