• What it is: Collagen broken down into peptides for better absorption.

• Benefits:

  • Supplies the building blocks of cartilage and connective tissue.

  • Promotes joint cushioning and flexibility.

  • Works synergistically with MSM and vitamin C to rebuild cartilage and maintain joint integrity.

3. Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
