So... what is it and what's it do?

Collagen is a structural protein that is a major component in the body especially in skin, muscles and tendons. Factors like age, diet and environment can deplete your bodies collagen levels leading to the degeneration of collagen rich areas of the body like your skin. This degradation can cause changes in the body associated with aging, like wrinkles and aching joints. Supplementing with collagen can help slow this depletion and minimise the negative effects associated.

As a protein collagen is a source of amino acids like glycine, proline and lysine which have integral roles in the body building connective tissue and regulating cell growth. This benefits skin, muscle, hair, cartilage, ligaments and even blood cell growth. While the amino acid glutamine has also been associated with preventing inflammation of the gut wall and contributing to overall gut health.

The word 'Hydrolysed' refers to a process where the long chain triple helix protein that forms collagen is broken down into shorter pieces. This results in short individual chains of amino acids called peptides which are easier for the body to digest and utilise the amino acids. Being a powder it can easily be incorporated into smoothies, drinks, soups, and baked goods.

We offer it in Pure (unflavoured), Chocolate (using Organic Cacao) and Vanilla (using real Vanilla Bean).

Contains Type 1 and 3 Bovine Collagen

NOTE: This product is considered by FDA guidelines as grass fed. Our product is derived from cattle that is predominately grass fed and pasture raised however rations of supplemental feed may be given throughout their lives due to associated nutritional needs, animal health and seasonal impacts. Our Collagen is sourced from Brazil and is free from rBST and other hormones commonly used. We have had a number of packaging changes in the past 24 months therefore if some of the information isn't on your packaging, please return to this page for current nutritional information.

We believe Boomers is the best natural protein powder because it is sourced from only the highest quality milk from grass fed, hormone-free cows, it contains abundant naturally-occurring branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) and 3 essential amino acids that produce glutathione which is vital for recovery, growth and disease resistance.

Boomers whey protein powders are produced using the most delicate and in our opinion, the best possible extraction method, being ultra-filtration and cross-flow microfiltration. The manufacturing process is all done cold so that the end result is undenatured whey protein, the best possible amino acid profile with a great tasting natural flavour. By using this strictly controlled manufacturing process and only the highest quality raw materials, there is no need for us to “spike” the powder with additional amino acids for example.

What is in the bag? When we say 100% whey protein, we literally mean it. There is nothing else in the bag other than premium quality, natural protein powder. During manufacture a negligible amount (about 1%) lecithin is added so that the powder will mix easily. Boomers adds no flavouring, sweetener, bulking agents, additives, preservatives or anything else. Boomers is just the good stuff – Nothing else!

Some suppliers blend their protein powders – Boomers has never done this, not since the day we were established in 1997.

A commonly asked question is what is the difference between Boomers Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)?

They are similar products and it essentially boils down to personal preference and budget. WPC requires less processing during manufacture and so it is less expensive. Some people prefer WPC over WPI for these reasons. When whey protein powder is made, the filtration process removes some of the naturally occurring carbohydrate and fat. For WPI, additional filtration occurs to remove almost all of the carbohydrate and fat in order to “isolate” the protein.

It is common to hear that WPC is for adding weight and WPI is for “leaning out” or that WPI is “better” than WPC. The facts are that the average difference will be only a few kcal per serve (depending on the brand) so in reality, both can be used for either goal.

Boomers 100% Creatine Monohydrate

Our “go to” supplement for anyone looking to get the most out of their training in the gym or other athletic activity.
Inexpensive and very effective.
Very fine micronised powder that mixes easily in water and is highly absorbable.
For most people, a 3 to 5 grams (5 grams = 1 teaspoon) per day creatine dosage is sufficient to achieve full saturation of the muscles within 2 to 3 weeks of continued use.

Why Creatine Monohydrate?
Other forms of creatine supplements are available, and may claim to be absorbed quicker or you need less because it’s concentrated for example. Creatine monohydrate saturates creatine stores 100% and is the cheapest available option.

What is creatine and how does it work?
Creatine is found in meat and fish, but some is “cooked off” during a meal preparation. Most people can store and use much more than is found in a regular diet. For an example, you need 1.1 kg of raw beef to get 5 grams of creatine (Harris, 1992). For most individuals, you get a benefit from creatine without "diminishing returns" from 0.05 grams of creatine/kilogram of bodyweight (Examine, 2016). This translates to 5 grams per day for a 100 kg individual, many users opt to increase intakes to 5-10 grams per day because it is an inexpensive supplement and there is the possibility of increasing the effects.

Creatine works in your phosphocreatine energy system to create ATP (energy) through the phosphagen energy system, this is the “shortest” energy system lasting 10-30 seconds, it resynthesizes stored creatine phosphate in skeletal muscles. Any athlete who expends very large amounts of energy in short time periods benefits the most from creatine monohydrate supplementation. Supplementing with creatine may help you in increasing the length of time you can use the phosphagen system and the amount of times you can resynthesize creatine phosphate for more ATP production, for instance grinding out an extra few reps or sets or holding on to a sprint for longer.

Research and FAQ about Creatine...
Is Creatine Safe?
Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements available, it is safe to use (Shao, 2006). If there are issues it is likely to do with taking too much too quickly or from not drinking enough water when you are supplementing creatine. Issues with bloating, diarrhoea and cramping have been noted but mainly with insufficient water intake (Groeneveld, 2005).

Do I need to cycle or load Creatine?
In our view, cycling creatine is unnecessary, it has not been shown to have any benefit and long-term creatine use has been shown to have very few side effects in most individuals (Groeneveld, 2005). Loading creatine monohydrate is useful if you want to saturate the creatine content in your muscles faster - Take in 4x the regular daily intake for one week (Examine, 2016). Be careful with jumping straight into loading if you’ve never tried creatine before and drink plenty of water!

When is the best time to take Creatine?
Our advice is take your creatine at whatever time of day is most convenient, whether it be in the morning, just before or just after exercising - It really comes down to personal preference.

In our view, exactly when you take creatine probably makes little difference because once your body has reached full creatine saturation (within 2 to 3 weeks of continued use) it is always readily available to your muscles. In addition, regardless of the time of day you take your creatine, it will eventually be absorbed by the muscles.
