Supplements for Stronger Bones
Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30. After that, your body continues making Collagen and new bones — but at a snail’s pace compared to the rate you’re losing bone mass.
But weak and brittle bones don’t have to be in your future. Our Collagen peptides work tirelessly to bolster your bones’ organic matrix and tip the bone-remodelling scales to your favour for healthy, dense, and strong bones.
Stimulates bone-forming osteoblasts and inhibits bone-dissolving osteoclasts
As permanent and unchanging as they may seem, your bones are living tissues being continually (yes, even right now!) resorbed and rebuilt through bone remodelling. Osteoclasts resorb old bones, while osteoblasts build new ones. Unfortunately, your body breaks down old bones faster than it can replace with age, resulting in a net loss in bone mass.
Collagen peptides help stall age-related bone mass loss by simultaneously stimulating bone-forming osteoblasts' production and activity and inhibiting bone-dissolving osteoclasts' differentiation and activity. The result? You’ll retain higher bone mass for longer.
Provides the building blocks for the organic matrix of bone
Type 1 Collagen — more specifically, Type 1 Collagen — is the most abundant constituent of your bones’ organic matrix. Because Type 1 Collagen acts as a scaffold for bone cells (i.e., provides mechanical support), bone Type 1 Collagen quality is strongly associated with bone strength.
This, in turn, explains why ramping up your body’s Type 1 Collagen levels via Collagen peptides could give you denser, stronger bones.
Promotes lean body mass
The more muscle mass you have, the denser your bones. And since Collagen peptides are known to promote lean body mass when combined with resistance training … well, that means you could also expect a positive impact on bone density.
How does collagen help with bone health?
Collagen provides the structural matrix for bones, working alongside minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Type I collagen in particular makes up around 90% of the organic content of bones and contributes to their strength and flexibility.
Is collagen better than calcium for bone density?
Calcium builds bone mineral density, but collagen improves the framework that holds calcium in place. Ideally, both should be taken together to optimise bone strength and reduce fracture risk, especially in older adults or postmenopausal women.
What type of collagen supports bone health best?
Type I collagen—found in bovine or marine collagen—is most effective for bone health. Studies have shown that hydrolysed collagen peptides can increase bone mineral density and improve markers of bone formation.
Can collagen help prevent osteoporosis?
Collagen may help delay or prevent osteoporosis by stimulating bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and reducing bone degradation. It also enhances the bone matrix, which keeps bones flexible and less prone to breaking.
When should you start taking collagen for bone health?
Bone loss begins in your 30s, so collagen supplementation is ideal to start early as part of a proactive bone health strategy. It’s especially helpful during menopause and later in life to preserve bone strength.
