15g Clinical Dose. Science Backed.
Lumina C15 is formulated based on human clinical trials for lean muscle, fat loss, and connective tissue resilience.
How It Works
Burns Fat
Collagen peptides improve blood sugar control, assisting the body in prioritizing stored fat for energy rather than glucose storage.
Builds Muscle
Specific amino acids stimulate muscle protein synthesis via pathways that complement leucine-rich proteins like whey or plant sources.
Strengthens Connective Tissue
When paired with Vitamin C, this protocol is shown to double collagen synthesis markers in tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Speeds Recovery
C15 supports cellular structural repair and reduces systemic soreness, allowing for higher training frequency and consistency.
Core Clinical Trials
A breakdown of core trials and meta-analyses validating the 15g protocol.
Zdzieblik et al. (n=53)
Elderly men using 15g collagen with resistance training achieved significantly more fat-free mass, strength, and fat loss than the placebo group.
Kirmse & Jendricke (n=134 total)
Parallel studies in recreationally active men and premenopausal women showed that 15g collagen boosted fat-free mass and reduced fat mass more than training alone.
Park et al. (n=74)
Adults 60+ using 15g collagen—without specific resistance training—demonstrated a significant reduction in total and abdominal fat mass vs placebo.
Protocol & Usage
Daily Dose
One 500ml bottle provides a 20-day supply at the 15g clinical dose. Consistency is key for metabolic adaptation.
Training Days
Take 45–60 minutes before exercise. Vitamin C is included to optimize collagen synthesis in tendons.
Protein Synergy
Pair Lumina C15 with a leucine-rich protein source like whey or pea protein for maximum muscle synthesis.
