Joint Health and Mobility
How Bovine Collagen Supports Joint Health and Mobility
As we age or engage in high-impact physical activity, the cartilage in our joints begins to degrade. This often leads to stiffness, discomfort, and even more serious conditions like osteoarthritis. Bovine collagen, especially in hydrolyzed form (collagen peptides), is emerging as a natural supplement to support joint function and mobility.

What the Science Says
1. Improved Joint Pain in Athletes
A groundbreaking randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in Current Medical Research and Opinion involved 147 athletes with joint pain. After 24 weeks of supplementing with 10g of collagen hydrolysate daily, the collagen group reported significantly less joint pain during activity compared to the placebo group.
📖 Clark et al., 20082. Reduced Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
A 2023 meta-analysis published in Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism evaluated 15 clinical trials and found that collagen supplementation significantly reduced joint pain and stiffness, especially in patients with osteoarthritis.

💡 How Does It Work?
Bovine collagen is rich in hydroxyproline, glycine, and proline—amino acids that stimulate the body’s production of cartilage and synovial fluid. This can help cushion the joints and reduce inflammation, leading to better mobility and less discomfort over time.
✅ Best Practices for Use
-
Look for hydrolyzed (peptide) collagen for higher bioavailability.
-
Take 10g daily for at least 8–12 weeks for noticeable results.
-
Combine with vitamin C to support collagen synthesis.
🌿 Conclusion
If you’re struggling with joint stiffness or want to protect your joints as you age or stay active, pure 100% bovine collagen is a safe, natural option backed by clinical science. It’s a proactive way to keep you moving with ease.
