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 Type 1 Marine Collagen and 2) lowering the production of a key inflammatory marker known as Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF).

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.

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 Type 1 Marine Collagen peptides could also help you get back to doing what you love more quickly in times of soft tissue injuries. Beyond increasing Type 1 Marine Collagen synthesis, these peptides also modulate inflammatory responses in ligaments and tendons — effectively shortening your recovery time (X).
