Introducing Jointfix: Joint Health Starts with Science
Joint discomfort, stiffness, and reduced mobility affect millions of people, especially those over 30 or living an active lifestyle. Whether you're an avid runner, a weekend gardener, or someone simply looking to maintain mobility with age, joint issues can significantly reduce your quality of life. In today’s saturated supplement market, not all products are created equal. Many collagen products promise results but lack the clinical proof to back up their claims. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural joint pain relief solutions that are both effective and scientifically validated. That’s where CollagenX Jointfix stands out as a category leader. CollagenX is proudly known as Australia’s most researched collagen brand. Our new flagship formula, Jointfix, is not just another collagen supplement - it’s an evidence-based joint health solution backed by world-class clinical trials and real-world results.

Together, these ingredients form one of the most comprehensive clinically studied joint supplements available in Australia today. The Science Behind Jointfix: Clinically Validated and Real-World Proven One of the core strengths of CollagenX Jointfix is its foundation in scientific evidence. Unlike many generic collagen products, Jointfix has undergone rigorous testing in both controlled clinical environments and large-scale consumer studies. Backed by Gold-Standard Clinical Research CollagenX is based on double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trials - the highest standard in medical research. Studies show measurable reductions in joint pain within 3 weeks of consistent daily use. Proven efficacy across age groups, genders, and activity levels, making it suitable for a wide range of users. In a real-world consumer study using Colartix®, over 80% of participants reported improvements in joint comfort, flexibility, and reduced stiffness after three weeks of use. Why Peptan® and Colartix® Matter Peptan® collagen peptides have been shown to stimulate extracellular matrix production in joints, supporting regeneration of cartilage and ligaments. Colartix® Hydrolysed Cartilage Matrix is unique in combining Type II collagen with natural chondroitin sulfate - mirroring the composition of healthy cartilage. The ingredients in Jointfix are bioavailable and rapidly absorbed, ensuring your body can use them where they're needed most. How Each Collagen Type Supports Your Joint Health Understanding the different types of collagen helps explain why Jointfix works so effectively: Type I Collagen – Strength & Structure Found in bones, tendons, and ligaments. Provides structural integrity and support. Essential for resisting stress and maintaining joint alignment. Type II Collagen – Cushioning & Cartilage Located primarily in articular cartilage. Offers shock absorption and load-bearing capacity. Key to reducing friction and preserving joint space. Type III Collagen – Flexibility & Repair Supports elastic tissues and blood vessels. Works in tandem with Type I for connective tissue resilience. Promotes flexibility and soft tissue repair around joints. Natural Chondroitin Sulfate – Lubrication & Protection Enhances cartilage hydration and shock-absorbing properties. Inhibits enzymatic breakdown of joint tissue. Helps reduce inflammation, leading to less pain and stiffness Commonly recommended in osteoarthritis treatment protocols. Together, these ingredients reinforce, regenerate, and protect your joints from within. Why is Natural Chondroitin Sulphate Superior? Many joint supplements use synthetic chondroitin sulphate which can vary in bioavailability and effectiveness. Jointfix, however, delivers chondroitin sulphate in it's natural form, directly from cartilage, ensuring superior absorption and effectiveness. Why Choose CollagenX Jointfix? There are countless collagen supplements on the market, but very few can match the research integrity and formulation precision of Jointfix. Jointfix provides a comprehensive blend of collagen peptides Type I, II, and III, glycosaminoglycans, and natural chondroitin sulphate, making it uniquely suited for joint and cartilage health.

Collagen Powder for Healthy Ageing
Today’s active agers look for functional foods that taste great, convenient and easy to consume. 'Collagenx', in partnership with Peptan, embraces this demand, and its exceptional organoleptic and functional properties make it easy to integrate into senior diet. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen contains 18 amino acids, the building blocks of our tissues and the primary component of proteins. Glycine, proline and hydroxyproline represent around 50% of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen total amino acid content; the glycine and proline concentration in our hydrolysed collagen is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. As a result, Collagenx hydrolysed collagen powder offers health benefits that cannot be found in other protein sources. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen's efficacy is demonstrated in scientific studies As one of the most extensively researched collagen peptides on the market, the efficacy of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen powder in promoting mobility is supported by an impressive body of scientific evidence. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen is unique as it simultaneously supports all the connective tissues by stimulating local cells in the target tissues to produce more collagen and other key matrix components. A wide range of studies has demonstrated Collagenx hydrolysed collagen’s ability to promote healthy joints and strong bones. Collagen peptides also support lean muscle mass and strength. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen supports overall mobility Joint health Wear and tear on joints can cause stiffness and discomfort in older adults. Collagen powder is fast becoming the preferred active ingredient for joint health supplements and the efficacy of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen for improving joint function and reducing discomfort is backed by scientific studies including in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials. Maintaining Healthy Joints In a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial1, 94 women aged 40-70 with knee joint problems (osteoarthritis classification: 0-III) received 8g of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen powder or placebo daily for a period of 6 months. WOMAC score is the international standard method for assessing joint health clinically in patients CollagenX hydrolysed collagen treatment resulted in a statistically significant decrease of the WOMAC score by -22% linked to a 32% decrease in joint pain and 44% improvement of stiffness (subscale scores). Improving joint function The same study also sought to discover whether Collagenx hydrolysed collagen could improve knee joint function in the same group of women. The Lysholm score is linked to improved knee movement in everyday activities, Collagenx hydrolysed collagen treatment resulted in a statistically significant increase in the Lysholm score by 7% which demonstrates the improvements over time. Stimulating chondrocytes (cartilage cells) In an in vitro study2, primary cartilage cells (chondrocytes) were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen for 8 days to demonstrate Collagenx hydrolysed collagen’s ability to induce the production of the key cartilage components, aggrecan and type 2 collagen, which make up the joint tissue. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen peptide treatment clearly stimulated the expression of aggrecan and type 2 collagen by the joint cells. Cartilage-regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen A new in vivo study3 confirms Collagenx hydrolysed collagen peptide's role in supporting joint health, providing scientific documentation of the mechanisms behind cartilage regeneration and joint inflammation reduction. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen is: Cartilage-regenerative - it preserves cartilage area during osteoarthritis development Chondro-regenerative - it stimulates chondrocyte proliferation (increased number) and stimulates proteoglycan synthesis. Anti-inflammatory - it normalises synovial thickness and reduces production of the inflammatory marker TNF. Bone Health Maintaining strong bones reduces the risk of fractures later in life. Collagen makes up the structural framework on which minerals are deposited. When taken as a supplement, hydrolysed collagen peptides can support healthy and strong bones, as shown in multiple in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials4-7. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen can stimulate the endogenous production of collagen in bone tissue, triggering osteoblasts (bone formation cells) and increasing bone size and firmness. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen can ideally be combined with calcium and vitamin D to offer optimal bone health benefits. Restoring Bone Mineral Density In an in vivo study4 an established model that mimics the loss of bone mass (osteopenia) in postmenopausal women (Ovx) was used to investigate the effect of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen supplementation– the experimental group (Ovx + Collagenx hydrolysed collagen) received a daily dose of CollagenX hydrolysed collagen for 3 months in addition to a normal diet (with adequate level of calcium, protein and Vitamin D). The Ovx and Control group received a normal diet only. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen treatment restored bone mineral density (BMD) in the experimental group to the normal level. In contrast, the control group experienced a reduced BMD. Improving Bone Strength The same study as above also investigated the microarchitecture and strength of bones and demonstrate the following: Collagenx hydrolysed collagen treatment increased ultimate bone strength compared to the control group. Stimulating Osteoblasts (bone cells) The mechanisms behind Collagenx hydrolysed collagen’s bone health benefits are well known. As an example, Collagenx hydrolysed collagen was compared to a control protein in below in the vitro study5, referred to below, primary bone cells were cultured in the presence of Collagenx hydrolysed collagen for 2 weeks. Collagenx hydrolysed collagen treatment promoted the formation of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and stimulated their activity. In contrast, the presence of bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts) were suppressed. The control protein (BSA) did not demonstrate the same effect. Muscle Health Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. Exercise and adequate intake of easily digestible protein is vital to counteracting the condition's effects. The recommended protein intake for healthy adults is 0.8g/kg body weight per day8. However, older people can benefit from a higher intake which is often difficult as their diets often lack protein. As a bioactive protein, Collagenx hydrolysed collagen can help maintain lean body mass in older adults. Maintaining muscle mass In a double-blind, crossover trial9, nitrogen balance was compared in a group of elderly women aged 65 - 85 who consumed a diet supplemented with either whey protein or collagen peptides. Women receiving whey protein lost body weight and had increased nitrogen excretion during the study period while those parameters remained stable under collagen peptides supplement. Collagen peptides can help maintain nitrogen balance and preserve lean body mass.
When is the Best Time to Take Collagen? Morning vs. Night
Collagen plays a key role in maintaining skin elasticity, joint strength, gut health, and overall vitality. But when is the best time to take collagen to get the most out of your supplement? Whether you're looking to support skin hydration, muscle recovery, or digestion, timing could make a real difference in how your body responds. In this article, we break down the science of collagen absorption, compare morning vs. night use, and explore how your health goals—like weight loss, injury rehab, or workout recovery—can guide your ideal timing. How Collagen Works in the Body Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It’s a major component of connective tissue, forming the structural framework for skin, bones, tendons, and joints. When taken as a supplement—especially in hydrolysed form (collagen peptides)—collagen is broken down into amino acids like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, as well as di- and tri-peptide chains. T hese circulate through the bloodstream and are used where your body needs them most. Several factors can influence how effectively your body uses collagen supplements: Timing: While collagen can be taken at any time of day, some studies suggest taking it around physical activity or before bed may enhance absorption or support specific benefits like recovery and repair. Food Pairings: Taking collagen on an empty stomach may promote faster absorption for some individuals, though it can also be consumed with food without any impact on its effectiveness. Vitamin C Intake: Vitamin C plays a critical role in collagen synthesis. If you are low in Vitamin C, p airing your collagen supplement with a source of vitamin C—such as citrus fruits, leafy greens, or a combined supplement—can improve its bioavailability and ensure your body has the nutrients it needs to create new collagen. Shop Glymax: Collagen with Glycine and Vitamin C By understanding how collagen functions and how to support its absorption, you can better tailor your intake to meet your personal health goals. Morning vs. Night: When Should You Take Collagen? Should you take collagen first thing in the morning or just before bed? The answer largely depends on your goals and daily habits. Morning intake is often preferred by those seeking an energy boost or pairing collagen with workouts or digestion support. Nighttime consumption, on the other hand, may enhance rest and overnight repair, thanks to collagen’s calming and restorative properties. Let’s look at the benefits of each. Benefits of Taking Collagen in the Morning For many, morning is the most convenient time to take collagen—especially when stirred into coffee, tea, or smoothies. Morning collagen may help: Hydrate and plump skin for the day ahead Calm the digestive system when taken on an empty stomach Support post-exercise recovery when paired with movement If you’re aiming to support gut health, joint function, or skin glow throughout the day, morning may be the best time to consume collagen. Benefits of Taking Collagen at Night Collagen is naturally high in glycine, an amino acid that supports deep sleep and relaxation. A 2024 study confirmed that glycine taken before bed improves sleep quality and promotes a restful night. Benefits of nighttime collagen intake include: Supporting the body’s natural repair processes during sleep Promoting deeper rest through glycine’s calming effects Enhancing muscle and joint recovery overnight If you struggle with sleep or are focusing on recovery, nighttime may be your ideal window for collagen supplementation. Timing for Recovery from Sports Injuries Athletes and active individuals often turn to collagen to support recovery from injury and intense training. Research shows that collagen peptides can help: Repair damaged tendons, ligaments, and cartilage Boost bone strength and resilience Aid muscle recovery after exercise To get the most from your supplement, take collagen about one hour before rehab or physical therapy. This ensures collagen peptides are circulating during stress and loading phases, improving repair outcomes. Best Time to Take Collagen for Female Athletes For women in high-impact sports, collagen timing can be particularly important. Oestrogen fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle can weaken ligaments and increase the risk of injury. Studies have shown that collagen intake—especially when paired with vitamin C—may help counteract this. Benefits of pre-workout collagen for female athletes include: Increased tendon and ligament strength Reduced injury risk during high-oestrogen phases Enhanced recovery from repetitive stress and strain Aim to take collagen 30–60 minutes before training with a source of vitamin C for best results. Best Time to Take Collagen for Weight Loss Collagen can also be a valuable tool for those aiming to manage weight. The best time to drink collagen for weight loss is usually before meals, as it can: Promote satiety and reduce appetite Support lean muscle maintenance Boost metabolism with a clean source of protein Some users find it helpful in the morning to curb daytime cravings, while others take collagen in the evening to avoid late-night snacking. How to Take Collagen Powder? Helpful Tips to Maximise Benefit Taking collagen powder is simple, but a few key strategies can help you maximise its benefits and see faster, more visible results. Start by choosing the right type of collagen for your needs. Marine collagen—sourced from fish and contains 100% Type I collagen (the same type in human skin)— is known for supporting skin hydration and elasticity, while bovine collagen—derived from cows—is rich in types I and III collagen, ideal for joint, gut, and bone health. If you’re pescatarian or have specific dietary preferences, opt for the source that best suits your lifestyle. Look for hydrolysed collagen peptides, which are broken down into smaller molecules for better absorption. Products free from additives, fillers, artificial flavours, and sweeteners will also provide cleaner, more effective supplementation without disrupting the gut. Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, so consider pairing your supplement with citrus fruits, berries, leafy greens, or a product that already includes it. Taking collagen with vitamin C helps your body convert amino acids into usable collagen faster and more efficiently. You can easily stir collagen powder into coffee, smoothies, tea, or soups—its neutral taste and solubility make it a versatile addition to your daily routine. Need inspiration? Explore our collagen recipes page for easy, delicious ways to incorporate collagen into your meals and drinks. Aim for 10–15g per day, increasing to 20g if you’re recovering from injury or need intensive support. Finally, stay hydrated and be consistent. Most users begin to notice results within 4–6 weeks, with continued improvements over time. Finding Your Ideal Time: When To Take Collagen? So—when is the best time to consume collagen? It truly depends on your lifestyle, schedule, and wellness goals. Some people benefit from morning intake for skin and gut support. Others prefer evening use for relaxation and recovery. Splitting your dose between morning and night may also work well. What matters most is taking collagen consistently. Over time, you’ll discover the rhythm that works best for your body.
