Recovery needs more than collagen

Recovery needs more than collagen

Collagen plays an important role in supporting connective tissue, but staying strong and active requires more. Unbroken starts with salmon protein, naturally providing collagen-derived amino acids and peptides alongside all nine essential amino acids, free-form amino acids and small peptides - giving your body a broader spectrum of amino acid nutrition in one simple format.

Collagen supports structure. Muscle needs EAAs.

Collagen gets a lot of attention in health and wellness - and for good reason.

It is rich in amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are important components of:

  • Joints and cartilage
  • Tendons and ligaments
  • Connective tissue

But collagen isn't a complete protein. It doesn't provide all nine essential amino acids required for muscle protein synthesis.

And muscle matters not only for performance, but for strength, mobility and staying active as we age.

That's why supporting the body means looking beyond collagen alone.

Unbroken naturally gives you more

Unbroken starts with salmon protein. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, the protein is extensively broken down into free-form amino acids and very small peptides, requiring minimal further protein digestion.

The result is a naturally broad nutritional profile:

  • 25 naturally occurring amino acids
  • All 9 essential amino acids (9EAA)
  • Free-form amino acids
  • Di- and tripeptides
  • Collagen-derived amino acids and peptides

Rather than isolating collagen as a single ingredient, Unbroken delivers naturally occurring collagen components as part of a much broader spectrum of amino acid nutrition.

Supporting more than one part of the body

Our bodies aren't just muscle. And they aren't just connective tissue.

Muscle supports strength, movement and physical function. Joints, tendons and ligaments help us move and stay active. Maintaining both becomes increasingly important as we get older.

Unbroken brings together the amino acids naturally associated with collagen and all nine essential amino acids needed for muscle protein synthesis.

One natural source. A broader approach.

More than amino acids, too

Unbroken also provides key micronutrients:

  • Vitamin B12 supports normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
  • Zinc and selenium support normal immune function and help protect cells from oxidative stress.
  • Potassium supports normal muscle function.

So Unbroken is more than a source of collagen-derived amino acids and more than a conventional amino acid supplement.

It brings together amino acids, small peptides and key micronutrients in one compact format.

Compact nutrition that complements your diet

Good nutrition starts with food. Unbroken is designed to complement a food-first approach, providing targeted amino acid nutrition in a compact format.

Unbroken comes in a compact effervescent tablet that dissolves in water. Because the salmon protein has been extensively hydrolyzed, it provides free-form amino acids and very small peptides with minimal further protein digestion required.

It’s an easy way to add amino acids and key micronutrients to your nutrition - around physical activity, during a busy day, or as part of your everyday wellness routine - without replacing the protein and nutrients you get from food.

Compact nutrition. Designed to complement a healthy diet.

The bigger picture

Collagen matters. But your body needs more than collagen.

Unbroken naturally provides collagen-derived amino acids and peptides alongside all nine essential amino acids, free-form amino acids and small peptides—with key micronutrients that support energy metabolism, muscle function and immune function.

More than collagen. More complete nutrition for staying strong, active and ready for what's next.
