Purpose of this collection: to introduce you to joint collagen supplements, the key structural protein of cartilage, tendons and ligaments, essential for maintaining mobility and limiting joint wear.
Why Is Collagen Essential for Joints?
Joint collagen is the main structural protein in connective tissues — tendons, ligaments, cartilage and skin. It provides cohesion, strength and joint stability. With age or during repeated physical exertion, its natural production declines, leading to accelerated cartilage wear, stiffness and a gradual limitation of movement. Hydrolyzed collagen supplementation supports endogenous synthesis and the renewal of joint tissues.
Which Types of Collagen Should You Choose?
Hydrolyzed collagen — Broken down into short peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis for optimal absorption. Supports endogenous collagen synthesis and cartilage renewal.
Type II collagen — Makes up 90 % of joint cartilage. The most targeted formula for chronic joint discomfort and osteoarthritis.
Collagen + Vitamin C — Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis. It enhances the effectiveness of any joint formula.
Collagen + Chondroitin + Glucosamine — Supports joint structure, cartilage density and protection against premature wear.
Collagen + Hyaluronic Acid — A structure + lubrication combination for comprehensive joint support and optimal freedom of movement.
Force Addict Pro advice: the first benefits — improved flexibility and reduced discomfort — are generally noticed after 3 to 4 weeks. For lasting joint support, a minimum 3-month course is recommended and can be repeated according to your needs.
Who Is This Collection For?
It is intended for athletes looking to maintain the integrity of their joints and tendons during intense training, seniors experiencing age-related chronic joint discomfort, people in post-traumatic recovery, and anyone looking to slow the natural process of joint wear.
Type I vs. Type II collagen: what is the difference?
Type I is predominant in the skin, tendons and bones. Type II is specific to joint cartilage. For joint discomfort and cartilage support, choose Type II-based formulas or a blend of both for comprehensive coverage.
