Expedition Recovery Bar
Protein+Collagen Crunch™
Recovery Never Tasted So Good!
COLLAGEN IS THE “SCAFFOLDING OF THE HUMAN BODY”
Collagen is the major fibrous protein in the extracellular matrix (structural tissue support) and makes up 80% of the connective tissue in the human body (and comprises 25-30% of the total protein content). but production of collagen drops dramatically after age 30, and by age 60 we lose 50% of our body’s collagen. Intake of collagen stimulates your body to produce more of its own. Recommended intake of collagen hydrolysate is 10g daily (we include 10g/bar).
UNDERSTANDING THE MAJOR TYPES OF COLLAGEN
TYPE I/III (bovine or marine) - Skin, bones, tendons, teeth, vascular, organs (the only types found in most “collagen” products)
Type II (chicken) – Cartilage elasticity (cushions joints), injury recovery, reduced joint inflammation and post-injury osteoarthritis, inhibiting tumor growth
Type IV (egg) - Cell health and regenerative growth, skin trauma healing (burns, grafts, ulcerations24 and surgical cuts, stab wounds, and lacerations), inhibiting cancer spread
Type V (eggshell membrane) - Controls initiation of fibril assembly (i.e. enabling the production of other collagens).
Type X (eggshell membrane) - Forms reliable marker for regulating endochondral ossification of articular cartilage (i.e. the healing of bone fractures).

Great tasting ingredients:
In addition to the whey protein isolate and collagen peptides...we used peanut butter, dried cranberries, raisin medley, and cinnamon...and yeah...some of our soft peanut brittle candy to hold it all together and make it taste great! It is simply the best tasting recovery bar you will ever try. We only use the highest quality ingredients, including peanut butter with fully hydrogenated vegetable oil...which means no trans fats and no inflammatory response with your cholesterol!
What about the added sugar?
OK...there are clearly two schools of thought here. You have the "sugar is the devil" crowd and the "sugar is a known factor and is fine as long as you don't go crazy" crowd. We think it's clear which camp we fall into here.
Even though we here at Expedition Bars generally follow a lower-carb "sloppy keto" food plan, we would generally rather do some added sugar here are there to make something palatable than eat something full of artificial sweeteners that really mess with your gut bacteria health (among a host of other issues), or cause bloating and gas (like "zero carb" sugar alcohol).
We know full well that we're a bit higher in added sugar than some big-name bars that still taste just sub-par in our opinion. Taste is a trade-off for ingredients, and we went for taste and amazing ingredients as our #1 and #2 priorities, with some extra sugar as the offsetting factor. Because we use sugar as a sweetener, nowhere will you see us call this a "health" or "nutrition" bar. It's simply a first-of-its-kind protein+collagen bar that has so much good stuff and still tastes great!
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE: Because the shelf life is under 6 months on the RECOVERY bars, these cannot ship international.
