Not all collagen products are created equal. There are more than 28 types of collagen in the body. MSK Collagen is designed specifically to support healthy connective tissue and joint mobility, and promote a natural response to modulate and down-regulate inflammation.

It contains two bioactive patented collagen peptides, FORTIGEL® and TENDOFORTE®, derived from a process involving the hydrolysis of type I collagen. These ingredients have been shown in clinical studies to boost anabolic processes in connective tissues and provide building blocks to support joint function and promote tendon and ligament strength.* 

In 16 human clinical trials, FORTIGEL® demonstrated positive effects for joint health among 2800 human subjects. Study subjects reported increased joint mobility and improved radiographic markers of cartilage health. (1,2)

It also uniquely combines a proprietary blend of standardized anti-inflammatory extracts from Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) and cutch tree (Acacia catechu). These natural compounds support the body's normal inflammatory response, and may help protect connective tissue from the damaging effects of free radicals.*

When 220 subjects with moderate to severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee were given these extracts twice daily, both groups noted a significant reduction in the signs and symptoms of OA. (3)

This unique proprietary formulation helps:

• Helps reduce inflammation and stiffness via balanced COX and LOX inhibition. 
• Provides antioxidant protection to reduce joint degeneration
• Stimulate connective tissue repair with bioactive collagen peptides
