Supporting Joint Health: How collagen can keep you moving
Don’t let achy, stiff, and creaky joints stop you from living your best life. Our collagen peptides pad your cartilage, ligaments, and tendons for full, unrestricted movement. Now and in the future.

With age, your cartilage, ligaments, and tendons begin to
hemorrhage collagen. The resulting bone-on-bone grinding
and stiffness lead to inflammation, pain, and eventual loss of
mobility.
Good news: our collagen peptides could help you “top up the tank”. This improves lubrication between joints for smooth-as-butter movement, plus flexibility in tendons and ligaments for restored mobility. Better still? The benefits don’t end there.
Relieves joint inflammation and pain
The natural degradation of cartilage can cause bones to rub against each other. Beyond the pain and discomfort factor, this grinding can cause inflammation that speeds up cartilage breakdown.
Collagen peptides effectively address cartilage breakdown via 2 pathways: 1) stimulating your tissues to make more collagen and 2) lowering the production of a key inflammatory marker known as Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF).
Promotes healthy (read: joint-friendly) weight maintenance
Excess weight puts added stress on joints and their surrounding soft tissues (i.e., ligaments and tendons). This hastens their breakdown, particularly in the knees, since they’re the main lower limb motor joints.So, how do collagen peptides help? Answer: they’re highly satiating. They could thus help you more easily achieve and stick to a calorie deficit necessary for weight loss.
Our collagen peptides give your body the amino acids it needs for intestinal lining repair. This may help "tighten" your gut lining's structure, improving its ability to keep unwanted compounds out of your bloodstream.
Builds and repairs ligaments and tendons
Ligaments and tendons are soft, fibrous connective tissues composed mainly of collagen. Your ligaments help connect one bone to another, while your tendons help attach muscles to bones. So, when they lose collagen, they become stiffer, impacting your range of mobility (X).
Thankfully, collagen peptides can promote the formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, including flexibility-giving collagen and elastin, potentially restoring your range of motion (X).
If you lead an active lifestyle, our collagen peptides could also help you get back to doing what you love more quickly in times of soft tissue injuries. Beyond increasing collagen synthesis, these peptides also modulate inflammatory responses in ligaments and tendons — effectively shortening your recovery time (X).

FAQs
-
As we age, collagen supplements for joints have many benefits. They can reduce joint pain and help improve symptoms of osteoarthritis by stimulating collagen production in the body and reducing inflammation.
Collagen powder also helps to improve joint stiffness, especially in the mornings. It also leads to better overall joint function.
-
Collagen is the main protein in cartilage, the spongy tissue cushioning your joints. Collagen production naturally declines as we age, so supplements encourage the body to produce its own collagen, potentially strengthening cartilage over time.
Our supplements also have anti-inflammatory effects which can provide relief from osteoarthritis pain and stiffness. They also provide the body with the amino acids, the building blocks of protein, necessary for cartilage health. This can aid cartilage repair and regeneration, promoting healthier joints.

Our Collagen for Joints contains Type 1 and Type 2 collagen, which also stimulate production of Type 3 collagen. The 100% hydrolysed collagen peptides improve joint function and support gut health, hair, skin and nails.

Add 1 serving (2 heaped scoops) with water (hot or cold), fruit or smoothie. Add the powder first so it mixes in well to the liquid of your choice. Aim to take at least one daily for optimal benefits.

Collagen and other supplements are ok to use at the same time. If you are uncertain of compatibility with other vitamins and minerals, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor.

Generally, it will take 3-6 months to see results.
