As the world's population ages, joint-related health problems, particularly osteoarthritis, are becoming increasingly common. Osteoarthritis causes pain and reduces mobility, significantly impacting the quality of life of those affected. In this context, collagen peptides have emerged as potential nutraceuticals for improving joint health in osteoarthritis patients. This article summarizes a large-scale study (ref 1) conducted over 6 months, which examined the effects of collagen peptides on knee osteoarthritis in elderly women.

Glucosamine is a substance found in connective tissue, cartilage and synovial fluid.

In today's world, our diet is often lacking in certain essential nutrients. Hyaluronic acid, collagen, chondroitin, glucosamine and harpagophytum are key ingredients for joint health, but they are mostly absent or present in insufficient quantities in our daily meals. In this article, we'll explore why these elements are so important, why they're often overlooked in our diets, and how supplements can help keep our joints healthy.

Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as peptide collagen, is a form of collagen that has undergone a fragmentation process to obtain smaller collagen peptides that are easier for the body to absorb. Decoding

Chondroitin is a major component of cartilage and bone which, combined with glucosamine sulfate, creates a notable synergistic effect, protecting cartilage and limiting the production of free radicals.

Collagen is a structural protein found in many tissues of the human body, including skin, bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. It accounts for around a third of the total amount of protein in the body, and is responsible for the strength and elasticity of these tissues.

In 2020, the global market for hyaluronic acid in medical applications was estimated at around $10 billion, and is set to grow significantly over the next few years due to increasing demand for hyaluronic acid-based skin care products and medical treatments. Zoom in on this macromolecule.

Harpagophytum is a medicinal plant. Its roots have been used for centuries by indigenous peoples to relieve pain and inflammation.
