GELITA BODYBALANCE®·15 g Protein·80 Calories·50 mL Ready to Drink·60-Day Guarantee
Qualified BODYBALANCE ingredient findings with the training and study context kept together
Why BODYBALANCE®

The ingredient was studied with the training—not instead of it.

The featured randomized studies paired 15 g of BODYBALANCE® collagen peptides with 12 weeks of structured resistance training. Every compact 50 mL BUILD sachet provides 16,700 mg BODYBALANCE®, 15 g protein and 80 calories.

Featured ingredient research
12 weeks structured resistance training

Across featured studies in men and women, daily BODYBALANCE® plus the same training protocol produced greater improvements in selected body-composition outcomes versus placebo plus training.*

BUILD is a training companion, not a shortcut. Collagen is not a complete protein, and the ingredient research does not replace progressive training or adequate complete dietary protein.

Why it belongs in BUILD

The named peptide, a visible amount and zero shaker-bottle friction.

Each 50 mL BUILD sachet provides 16,700 mg BODYBALANCE®—above the 15 g daily amount used in the featured trials—plus 15 g protein for 80 calories. Tear, drink and keep the training, complete-protein and recovery fundamentals in place.

Featured research evaluated BODYBALANCE® collagen peptides with structured resistance training, not finished BUILD. The GELITA evidence summary includes randomized studies in men and women using 15 g daily for 12 weeks. In the featured 25-participant athlete study, fat-free mass increased more with BODYBALANCE®; between-group fat-mass differences were not detected and the strength difference was a non-significant trend. Several papers report GELITA funding, supplied material or author affiliation. Collagen is not a complete protein. Individual outcomes vary. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Training provides the stimulus

Muscle is built by training.
Nutrition supports the adaptation.

BUILD adds BODYBALANCE® specific collagen peptides for the collagen-rich framework within muscle—the structure that helps muscle hold together and transmit force*, and an often-overlooked part of the recovery routine. It complements, but does not replace, complete protein, progressive training, sleep or sensible programming.

The studied dose

16,700mg BODYBALANCE®
in every shot.

BODYBALANCE® is GELITA’s specific Bioactive Collagen Peptide studied in combination with resistance training. The featured trials used 15g daily; each BUILD sachet supplies 16.7g.

01
Train
Progressive resistance exercise provides the stimulus. The human studies paired daily supplementation with structured training three times per week.
02
Supplement consistently
The core trials used 15g of specific collagen peptides every day for 12 weeks. BUILD provides 16.7g in one ready-to-drink serving.
03
Measure adaptation
Researchers assessed fat-free mass, body composition and strength—not instant results. Outcomes varied, and the routine did the heavy lifting.

1. Kirmse et al. 2019 — 57 recreationally active men, randomized double-blind trial, 15g collagen peptides daily with 12 weeks of resistance training. Between-group strength differences did not reach statistical significance. 2. Jendricke et al. 2019 — 90 premenopausal women randomized; 77 completed and were included in the per-protocol analysis, 15g daily with 12 weeks of resistance training. 3. Oertzen-Hagemann et al. 2019 — exploratory skeletal-muscle proteome analysis in 25 young men after the same 12-week protocol. These studies evaluated the BODYBALANCE® ingredient with exercise, not the finished BUILD formulation.

Different tools. Different jobs.

Complete protein covers the amino-acid foundation. BUILD adds BODYBALANCE® for the collagen-rich framework within muscle—the structure that helps muscle hold together and transmit force.* Creatine plays a separate performance role; the tools can sit in the same routine.

Love that it's easy to travel with but not a fan of the flavor

I ordered these BeMe Liquid Protein Shots mainly for my partner to use as he really like protein drinks. One of the things that really appealed to us about this drink was that It's something that doesn't have to be mixed or measured. You can just throw one of these satchels in your bag and can drink it on the go. I will say though that I wasn't a huge fan of the satchels. I wish that they actually had a spout with a lid but that's just more of a preference. The flavor caught both my partner and I off guard. It does taste somewhat like apple juice but there's a weird after taste to it. It also just tastes off, maybe a little tart. It just wasn't our favorite flavor. My partner struggles with a lot of issues with his stomach so we were worried how his stomach would handle these protein shots. Thankfully they seemed very gentle on his system as he didn't notice any negative side effects from them. I can't say fully how well they work as I only drank on and my partner has only drank a couple but so far he seems pretty happy with them. They are a little pricey though so I'm not sure that we would order them again. I would recommend them them though.

Medicinal after taste that lingers

I really wanted to love these for the convenience factor, and while the fruit flavor is actually quite good, there is a very noticeable medicinal aftertaste. It has that slightly bitter finish that sticks to the back of your throat, which makes it pretty tough to just knock back as a quick shot. I’ve found that mixing it into a fruit smoothie or a protein shake completely masks that bitterness, though. It’s a great way to get extra collagen in, as long as you aren’t drinking it straight.

Protein Shots

Love the portability of these. The packets are thick enough and the perfect size to survive traveling or purses. They are quick, convenient, and easy to open for on the go protein. I hate taking mixer bottles on the road with me and having to clean them in the hotel room sink. These packets are great alternative that don't take up much room in my suitcase.Also, I like that they are almost equal parts protein and collagen. Started working out at an over 50 age so need all the help I can get with my skin and muscles. As for the taste being apple.....it was fruity-like and I guess that it could have been apple. A little weird but not bad, just different. Price is okay for a protein drink but probably based more on the portability, which really is great.

Why Martin built BeMe · Martin Berry, Founder

At 50, slowing down isn’t the plan.

Martin built BUILD around a named collagen peptide, a visible amount and a format that removes the daily shaker-bottle friction—while keeping resistance training and complete dietary protein where they belong: at the centre of the plan.

Stay in the Game.
Good to know

Questions, answered.

No. BUILD provides 15g of collagen protein, but collagen is not a complete protein and BUILD is not a meal replacement. Use it alongside adequate complete dietary protein and progressive resistance training.

They play different roles and can be used in the same routine. Creatine is commonly used for high-intensity training performance; BUILD provides BODYBALANCE® collagen peptides. If you have a medical condition or take medication, check with your clinician.

Tear and drink one 50mL sachet daily whenever consistency is easiest. The studies focused on daily intake paired with resistance training—not a narrow anabolic window.

The core BODYBALANCE® studies ran for 12 weeks with structured resistance training. Give the routine a full training block, track useful measures and remember that individual outcomes vary.
