#COLLAGENTALK, EP. 9 – BELGIAN GYMNAST LUKA VAN DEN KEYBUS

#COLLAGENTALK, EP. 9 – BELGIAN GYMNAST LUKA VAN DEN KEYBUS

20 Sep 2023

In this episode of #CollagenTalk, we are joined by the captain of the Belgian men’s gymnastics team, Luka van den Keybus. Currently ranked 20th in the world, Luka is one of the stars on the gymnastics scene, regularly competing in for the top prizes in international tournaments. In the video, Luka tells us how Peptan collagen peptides keep him at the top of his game.

At the highest level of gymnastics, elite athletes must keep their bodies at 100% all the time. For Luka van den Keybus, using Peptan is one way of staying in peak condition. ‘Every day I take Peptan in a  Sanas Cartiplus shot, and it’s really made a difference,’ says Luka. ‘Alongside an efficient training regime and the right mindset, sometimes you need a little extra– the 1 to 2% extra boost to take you all the way.’ 

‘Peptan helps me feel like the younger version of myself’ 

At just twenty-six, Luka is one of the oldest gymnasts on the team, which means keeping up can be a challenge. ‘Since I started taking Peptan every day, I feel like the younger version of myself. Collagen helps to strengthen everything, allowing me to train much more and maintain a high level of performance across consecutive training days. I don’t know what I’d do without Peptan – I even recommend it to my parents and grandparents!’
