Collagen isn’t only about glowing skin, it’s the primary structural protein in our joints, acting as the cushion, framework and shock absorber that keeps us moving freely. Over 60% of the cartilage that protects our joints is made of collagen.
In fact, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and can be found in many areas as well as our skin and joints. It can be found in almost all areas from our digestive system to our ligaments, veins and lymphatic vessels. In our joints it allows bones to glide smoothly, supports flexibility, and helps reduce everyday wear and tear.
Why collagen is essential for joint health
As we age, natural collagen levels decline, particularly from our mid-20s onwards. This can lead to stiffness, reduced mobility and the familiar niggles we feel in our knees, hips and spine. Keeping collagen strong and abundant is key to maintaining comfort and joint longevity.
Marine collagen for joint health
Hydrolysed marine collagen is a highly bioavailable form of collagen that provides the specific peptides required to rebuild and protect joint tissue.
Here’s how it helps:
Collagen rebuilds cartilage and connective tissue
The short collagen peptides are easily absorbed and used by chondrocytes (joint cells) to support the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments and tendons. Studies show that specific collagen peptides can upregulate proteoglycan and type II collagen synthesis, encouraging cartilage regeneration and matrix repair.
Reduces friction and improves mobility
Studies show that specific collagen peptides can upregulate proteoglycan and type II collagen synthesis, encouraging cartilage regeneration and matrix repair. Stronger cartilage means smoother joint movement and less stress on surrounding tissues.
Supports cushioning and shock absorption
Collagen helps maintain the spongy, resilient texture of cartilage so joints can withstand impact from daily activity.
Helps reduce inflammation
By supporting healthy cartilage turnover and reducing breakdown molecules, collagen may help soothe joint discomfort linked to inflammation.
The result: more resilient, comfortable joints
By targeting the biological drivers of joint ageing from cartilage breakdown to inflammatory stress hydrolysed marine collagen offers quantified benefits:
- Improved joint mobility
- Reduced stiffness and everyday discomfort
- Enhanced resilience under load
- Better long-term functional performance
Collagen doesn’t just support the structure of joints, it influences the molecular processes that keep them healthy. Move with freedom, strength and comfort Hydrolysed marine collagen supports the natural processes that keep joints flexible and comfortable helping you stay active, strong and doing what you love for longer.
