There is a big buzz around collagen for skin, hair, and nails, but what about collagen for joints?

Collagen for youthful Joints

As the body’s main structural protein, collagen plays an important role in the makeup of joint cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It helps to maintain strength and flexibility, however as we age, our natural production of collagen declines. Over time, this can cause joints and bones to become less flexible and more brittle.

Why take a Collagen Supplement for Joints?

Collagen can naturally be found in the bones, joints, and cartilage of animals. As our diets tend to contain less collagen-rich, tough, gristly parts of animal products these days, a collagen supplement can be an easy way to boost your intake.

Another key building block for healthy joints is Glucosamine, which can be taken alongside your collagen for joints supplement.

Available in capsules or a powder, collagen can be added to your favourite recipe – or if you are feeling adventurous, why not make your own collagen rich Bone Broth?

What Type of Collagen is Best for Joints?

Along with types 1 and 3 collagen which are more suited to skin health, type 2 collagen is said to be more specific to joints. Type 2 collagen makes up 85-90% of the collagen in articular cartilage - a type of cartilage which covers the end of bone surfaces where they meet to form a joint.

Collagen is derived from marine sources as well as chicken sternum cartilage and has been studied for its role in joint health.
