Peptan for Joint Health
You’ve got the moves!
Running, cooking, walking the dog, or even reading a book: all the things we love to do require our body to move, bend, and - to a certain extent - be flexible. The structures in our body that make this possible are called joints, which define the area between two or more bones. Joint cartilage protects our bones by keeping them from scraping against each other, acting as a cushion to minimize impact, for example, when we jump. In between those structures, (synovial) fluids help everything to run smoothly, like oil on a bicycle or in a car.
Collagen is a major component of joints; it is responsible for our strength and flexibility. Over time, our body’s collagen levels and quality diminish. Why? The balance between synthesis and breakdown of cartilage gets disturbed. This can lead to swelling, pain, stiffness, and bone friction, eventually causing osteoarthritis (OA) or ‘wear-and-tear’ disease.
In one scientific study[1], elderly women with mild joint discomfort reported a significant reduction of painful symptoms, like stiffness and pain, after oral intake of Peptan (8g/day).
These positive effects also improved their mobility and joint function after three months.
Colartix's joint health benefits backed by science
In a recent placebo-controlled consumer study involving more than 200 consumers of different genders, all ages and across activity types from gardening, brisk walking to marathon training. A daily intake of 1g Colartix demonstrated a steadily decrease in joint discomfort across gender, age and sport intensity.
