Collagen for Joints & Tendons
Support cartilage, tendons, and connective tissue
About Collagen
Hydrolyzed collagen peptides provide the amino acids your body uses to rebuild tendon, ligament, and cartilage. Especially useful for patients recovering from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or foot and ankle surgery.
Why patients use it
Tendon & ligament repair
Provides glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline — the raw materials for connective tissue.
Cartilage support
Type II collagen specifically supports cartilage in arthritic joints.
Faster post-op recovery
Studies show improved healing when collagen is paired with vitamin C.
Mixes easily
Unflavored powder dissolves in coffee, smoothies, or water.
Typical use
10–20 g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides daily, paired with 50 mg of vitamin C taken 30–60 minutes before activity for best tendon uptake.
