Description
Collagen is a critical component of many different aspects of the human body. Almost 30% of the total body’s protein consists of collagen. There are 2 mechanisms that the body utilizes collagen via stimulating cell metabolism and increasing specific amino acids for collagen synthesis.
Collagen Benefits
- Mobile joints
- Less joint pain
- Smoother skin
- Hair and nail health
- Stronger ligaments and tendons
- Healthy muscle
Ingredients
- FORTIGEL®: 5g
- Protein: 15g
- Vitamin C: 90mg
- Iron: 0.37mg
- Sodium: 135mg
Recommended Use
Combine 1 scoop with 8 fl oz of liquid. Mix thoroughly.
Fortigel hydrolyzed collagen is a novel ingredient
aimed at joint cartilage regeneration, backed by clinical
evidence for reducing pain, enhancing mobility, and
promoting long-term cartilage health safely.
Collagen’s significance extends to skin
elasticity and hydration; supplements
can potentially enhance skin moisture,
elasticity, and reduce wrinkles for a more
youthful appearance.

Cellular Pathways
A positive effect of collagen peptides on the regeneration of
hyaline cartilage was observed in cultured chondrocytes.
The stimulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis
is probably caused by specific Hyp-Pro-Gly containing
peptides with a molecular size <10 kD.
Stimulate the growth and activity of fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen in the skin and other connective tissues.
Why this matters:
As individuals age, collagen levels decrease, leading to less flexible and more brittle cartilage. Aging-related changes increase collagen cross-linking, stiffening cartilage and making it prone to fatigue failure. Structural collagen changes, including degradation, are associated with skin wrinkling, bone deterioration, and cardiovascular and respiratory issues. Cartilage degeneration, a result of aging, can lead to arthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease.
Clinical Studies
Improvement of activity-related knee joint discomfort following supplementation
of specific collagen peptides.
• 5g supplementation of FORTIGEL treatment was shown to decrease knee pain and stiffness and increase physical function after 6 weeks
• After 12 weeks 40% of patients reported no knee pain and 70%achieved a positive effect of therapy
• After 12 weeks 40% of patients reported no knee pain and 70%achieved a positive effect of therapy
Synergy with Pentosan Polysulfate, BPC-157, GHK-Cu:
Performance Collagen™+ Pentosan Polysulfate
Hydrolyzed Collagen is a key component in proteoglycans and collagen type II formation which can help repair cartilage degradation and decrease joint pain, typically used in joint and inflammatory pain protocols.
Performance Collagen™ + BPC-157 and Sermorelin
Collagen supplementation when broken down can form foundational building blocks for muscle and ligament repair. Sermorelin improves growth hormone secretion while BPC-157 has been shown to upregulate growth hormone receptors. These have been used in synergy to improve injury and recovery.
Performance Collagen™+ GHK-Cu
Collagen supplementation helps rejuvenate collagen type III in the skin which is important for skin elasticity and overall skin health. GHK-Cu has been shown to enhance skin elasticity.
