As we get older, it’s common to notice joints feeling less flexible. While ageing is natural, there are steps you can take to help support joint comfort and mobility as part of a balanced lifestyle.
What collagen does in the body
Collagen is a key structural protein found in cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues. Over time, natural collagen levels decline. Many people choose to add hydrolysed marine collagen peptides to their diet as a simple way to help maintain joint health.
Marine collagen is derived from fish and is naturally rich in Type I collagen—an important component of connective tissue that helps cushion and support joints.
How marine collagen can support joint health
- Cartilage support: Provides amino acids that help maintain healthy cartilage, the natural cushion between bones.
- Joint mobility: Supports the connective tissues that contribute to ease of movement and flexibility.
- Bone support: As a source of protein, contributes to nutrients needed for normal bone maintenance.
- Connective tissue: Helps support tendons and ligaments, which stabilise and support joints.
- Simple to use: Hydrolysed peptides are broken down into small components for easy mixing in hot or cold drinks.
Why choose marine collagen?
- Sustainably sourced: Made from fish by-products, helping to reduce waste.
- Neutral flavour: Unflavoured and easy to add to coffee, tea, smoothies, yoghurt, or recipes.
- Versatile: Dissolves well in warm liquids and can be used in both hot and cold preparations.
How to add collagen to your routine
- Measure: Many people choose around 4 g daily as part of their routine (follow pack directions).
- Mix: Add powder first, stir with a little warm liquid until dissolved, then top up with your drink.
- Enjoy: Consistency matters—make it a small daily habit alongside a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
