Collagen and Joint Health

According to a review in the journal Amino Acids, collagen peptide supplementation (COL) in conjunction with exercise, has been shown to help support healthy joint functionality for people with degenerative bone and joint problems.

Collagen peptides are a critical element of extracellular connective tissue, making up one-third of the total proteins in the human body.

Collagen, alongside exercise, can have some stimulatory effects on the extracellular matrix of connective tissues, improving their structure and load bearing capabilities.

The results of the studies showed that collagen was most effective at improving joint functionality and reducing joint pain, though certain improvements were seen in body composition, strength, and muscle recovery time.

This review highlights that collagen peptides may help improve joint health, particularly around functionality and pain.
