ATP Science NOWAY!® Collagen Protein Sparkling Water — 20g Protein. Zero Sugar. Zero Effort.

Protein with no shaker, no scoop and no clean-up. Each 355ml can delivers 20g of BODYBALANCE® hydrolysed collagen peptides in a light, crisp, zero-sugar sparkling drink. Grab it from the fridge and go — post-training, mid-afternoon, or any time you need a protein top-up without a heavy shake. Dairy free, naturally sweetened and flavoured. Available as a single can, 6-pack, or 12-pack carton. Available now at Payless Supplements.

Dosage & Timing

Drink one 355ml can before, during or after exercise, or any time through the day when you want a protein top-up. Best served chilled.

The Convenience Case

The reason most people fall short on protein isn't motivation — it's friction. Powders need a shaker, water, mixing and washing up. That's fine at home and awkward everywhere else. The RTD removes all of it: a chilled can from the fridge or the gym bar, opened and finished in five minutes.

If you already use NOWAY!® powder at home, the cans are the version that lives in the office fridge, the car, or the chilly bin. Same protein, no logistics.

Sparkling, Not a Milkshake

This is a fizzy drink, not a protein shake in a can. Three flavours — Kiwi Apple, Lemon Squash and Mixed Berry — built to drink like a sparkling water or a soft drink rather than a dairy beverage. Zero sugar, naturally sweetened, nothing heavy about it. For anyone who finds shakes filling or cloying, or who wants protein on a hot day, this format solves the problem the powders can't.

BODYBALANCE® — The Same Collagen as the Powders

The protein source is BODYBALANCE® hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides, the same German-engineered ingredient used across the NOWAY!® Collagen Protein and Protein Water powders. BODYBALANCE® is produced through a proprietary process that yields a precise ratio of bioactive peptides to free-flowing amino acids at a targeted molecular weight.

The peptides do two jobs at once: they supply protein, and they signal the body to build lean tissue. Most protein products deliver amino acids — the building materials. Collagen peptides act as the foreman directing what gets built.

The Research Behind It

A 2021 randomised controlled trial compared BODYBALANCE® collagen directly against whey protein in middle-aged untrained men doing resistance training. The collagen group gained 3.42kg of fat-free mass; the whey group gained 2.27kg. A 2019 randomised controlled trial in premenopausal women found BODYBALANCE® combined with resistance training produced significantly better body composition and regional muscle strength than training alone.

NOWAY!® uses Type I and Type III collagen — the structural proteins of muscle connective tissue, tendon, ligament, bone and skin. That's why the benefit extends past muscle to joint and skin health.

Dairy-Free by Design

No whey, no lactose, no casein. For anyone who bloats on whey-based protein — a common complaint and the single most cited reason people switch to NOWAY!® — this is a clean alternative that doesn't trade off protein content.

Not vegan — the collagen is bovine-derived.

Who Should Use It

• Anyone who trains away from home and wants protein without carrying a shaker
• People with dairy sensitivity or whey intolerance
• Anyone tracking protein on a tight calorie budget — zero sugar, light format
• Office, travel and hot-weather protein where a milkshake isn't appealing

Which Format Should You Buy?

• Single can — try a flavour before committing.
• 6-pack — a week's worth, or a mixed trial across flavours.
• 12-pack carton — best value per can; the option if you've already found your flavour.

Nutrition Per Can (355mL)

• Energy: 375 kJ (90 Cal)
• Protein: 20.2g
• Fat, Total: 0.0g (Saturated 0.0g)
• Carbohydrates: 2.4g (Sugars 0.1g)
• Sodium: 70mg

90 calories for 20.2g of protein, zero fat and 0.1g of sugar — roughly 90% of the calories in the can come from protein. That's the same macro efficiency as the NOWAY!® Protein Water powder, in a format you don't have to mix.

If you want the same protein at a lower cost per serve and don't mind mixing it yourself, the NOWAY!® Collagen Protein Water powder (750g / 30 serves, six flavours) is the economical alternative. The cans are for convenience; the powder is for value.
