What it is

Collagen Capsules for Joints and Cartilage

The same joint and cartilage formula in capsule form — specific bioactive collagen peptides, with no mixing and no taste.

  • Enzymatically optimised peptides

    Hydrolysed type I and III collagen peptides, sourced from pork.

  • 100% pure

    No added flavourings, sweeteners, colours or fillers.

  • No mixing, no taste

    180 capsules per jar — four to six a day, with water.

  • Study-based protocol

    Built around the dosage and duration used in clinical studies.

Why it matters

Cartilage is composed largely of collagen.

Cartilage has no blood supply and renews far more slowly than other tissue. Its framework is collagen.

Specially optimized collagen for joints? Does that even exist? I wasn’t convinced at first. But what matters is that it works for me. This joint complex delivers on what it promises.

  • No one should expect to be completely pain-free. It is not a medication, but a supplement. And as a supplement, it works well for me. Collagen is now part of my routine for joint discomfort and it works!
    Fred, 61Frankfurt
  • I have tried so many things for my knees and they are so much better now. The pain is not completely gone, but it has clearly reduced. It's much easier for me to manage now.
    Charlotte, 58Düsseldorf
  • I tried a lot of creams, but nothing has worked as well as this collagen powder. I’ve been taking it for several months now and I’m really happy with it. Surgery is not always needed.

Questions about collagen for joints and cartilage

What role collagen peptides play for cartilage and joints, what chondrocytes are, and how long to take it.

Why collagen for Joints and Cartilage?

With age or high physical stress, joint cartilage can gradually break down. Since collagen is a key component of cartilage structure, the body has less of this important building block available over time.

Targeted bioactive collagen peptides can support cartilage cell metabolism. They provide signals at the cellular level and help support the cartilage’s natural regeneration as well as joint mobility. In this way, joints can be kept flexible and resilient over time.

What are chondrocytes, and why are they important?

Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in joint cartilage. They are responsible for building and maintaining the cartilage matrix — the stable, elastic framework that gives cartilage its structure. This structure supports smooth movement and helps absorb impact in the joints.

As we age, or under high physical stress, chondrocyte activity can decline. Bioactive collagen peptides can help support these cells and promote the cartilage’s natural renewal processes — for joints that stay flexible and resilient.

How do I take the collagen?

Our collagen fits easily and flexibly into your daily routine.

Powder:
Stir the recommended daily amount into water, coffee, tea, or a smoothie. It is tasteless and dissolves well in both cold and warm drinks.

Capsules:
Take the recommended daily dose with plenty of liquid - ideally with a meal.

When will I see results?

Visible changes typically appear after 4–8 weeks of daily use. Lasting effects build over the course of months.

Why exactly 90 days?

Collagen building is a step-by-step process. 90 days give the body enough time for real structural changes — not just surface-level ones.

Why bioactive peptides — and not just collagen?

These are bioactive collagen peptides — a specific peptide fraction studied clinically for targeted effects. Generic collagen has an undefined peptide structure and is usually not clinically studied.

Is long-term use safe?

Yes. The peptides used have been studied in long-term trials over several years.

Taken daily. Benefits build over time.
