Featured human ingredient research

Same training plan. Different reported change.

In a 14-week randomized study, both groups completed the same high-load resistance-training program. Researchers reported a larger change in Achilles-tendon cross-sectional area with 5,000 mg of specific collagen peptides than with placebo.

Specific collagen peptides +11.0%
Placebo +4.7%

Change from baseline in Achilles-tendon cross-sectional area after 14 weeks.

Ingredient research—not finished PROTECT. This was a structural outcome, not a pain, injury-prevention or recovery claim. Tendon stiffness and muscular strength improved in both groups without a significant between-group difference. Individual outcomes vary.
Study context, limitations and sources

The Achilles-tendon study randomized 40 healthy active men to 5,000 mg of specific collagen peptides or placebo alongside the same high-load resistance-training program. Twenty-seven completed and were included in the reported completer analysis, which excluded statistical outliers using Grubbs’ test.

A separate 14-week randomized study reported a significantly greater patellar-tendon cross-sectional-area increase at two measured regions with specific collagen peptides plus training versus placebo plus training; 50 healthy, moderately active men were randomized and 31 completed.

Why connective tissue belongs in the plan

Training loads more than muscle.

Every stride, lift, landing and change of direction also loads tendons and ligaments. PROTECT makes both tissues an explicit part of the daily plan.

Running + hybrid racing

Stride after stride.

Running and hybrid racing repeat similar loading patterns across long training blocks.

RunningMarathonHYROX
Strength + power

Force has to travel.

Muscle creates force; tendons connect muscle to bone and transmit it during movement.

GymStrengthCross-training
Court + field

Direction changes fast.

Sprinting, landing, decelerating and cutting change how tendons and ligaments are loaded.

Why Martin built BeMe · Martin Berry, Founder

At 50, slowing down isn’t the plan.

Martin competes in endurance motorsport and wanted connective tissue to be an explicit part of his own training plan—not an afterthought. He built BeMe to make targeted daily formulas easier to understand and easier to repeat. PROTECT is the tendon-and-ligament formula in that system.

Before you choose

The details that matter.

PROTECT is transparent about three things: the named peptide—TENDOFORTE®—the 5,000 mg amount in every sachet, and a ready-to-drink 30 mL format. When comparing collagen products, check the named ingredient, amount per serving and whether the format fits a daily habit. Formulations vary.

Each box contains 15 daily sachets. The 30-day option delivers two boxes, while the 15-day one-time option delivers one. The smaller option is a way to try the grapefruit flavor and ready-to-drink format; no result is promised in 15 days or on any fixed timeline.

No. The featured human research evaluated TENDOFORTE® specific collagen peptides alongside exercise or training; it did not evaluate the finished PROTECT formula. The page therefore presents the findings as ingredient research. Individual outcomes vary.

The 30-day subscription is $66.30 per delivery—15% off the $78 one-time price. It delivers two boxes, or 30 sachets, every 30 days and includes free standard U.S. shipping. Cancel anytime before your next renewal. The 60-day guarantee runs from the ship date; eligible product amounts are refundable, no return is required, and original shipping and handling are not refundable.
