WHY COLLAGEN PEPTIDES MATTER TO YOUR MOBILITY | PEPTAN®, COLARTIX®
23 Sep 2022
See next articleMore and more people worldwide are turning to supplements to help support their joints and bones. One mobility ingredient that is increasingly going mainstream: collagen peptides. In this blog article, we examine the reasons behind collagen peptides’ popularity – and offer some tasty recipes with them that you can try for yourself.
What studies say about collagen peptides and mobility
Many studies are being performed on collagen peptides’ benefits for joints and bones, with encouraging results. Here are two examples:
– In a 2014 6-month randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, a daily dose of 8 grams of Peptan® collagen peptides led to a reduction in joint pain and improvement in mobility [1] among participants;
– Two in vivo studies indicated that oral intake of Peptan collagen peptides may help to reduce bone loss and increase bone density.[2] [3]
– In a recent placebo-controlled consumer study, participants who took just 1 gram of Colartix reported reduced joint pain after exercise over 12 weeks.[4] The results also indicate Colartix’s impact at a low dosage (check the graph for more details).

Easy to include in your lifestyle
In addition to what the science is putting forward, there are other reasons to see collagen peptide supplements as a sensible mobility solution. For example:
– Collagen peptides are easy to use in everyday recipes and in particular in drinks, as they are highly soluble;
– Their heat resistance makes them stable in a range of dishes, which means you can easily add collagen peptides to anything from your morning coffee to your lunchtime soup, or your evening coffee or hot chocolate;
– Collagen peptides are effective at low dosages.
Thanks to their versatility and ease of use, collagen peptides are a convenient choice for consumers. Whether you are a pro athlete who wants a tasty protein bar after working out, or someone who would prefer a daily joint health pill, there is a collagen peptide application for you.
