CollagenX offers the ideal solution with Australia’s purest hydrolysed collagen, specifically formulated to support collagen for joints and collagen for bones. Our premium collagen supplements help improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and enhance bone strength — ideal for both active individuals and those managing joint discomfort due to age or overuse.
Support your body’s musculoskeletal health by maximising the strength and resilience of your connective tissues. CollagenX helps stimulate bone formation, reduce cartilage degradation, and improve tissue flexibility, making joints more resistant to stress and injury.
Collagen for joint health is particularly beneficial for athletes and active individuals engaged in high-impact or repetitive movement sports like cycling, basketball, netball, bodybuilding, or contact sports. Our collagen peptides act as the building blocks for joint cartilage, speeding up recovery and reducing joint wear and tear.
If you’re looking to support collagen for bones, our marine collagens (Fish and Wild-Caught) are rich in Type I collagen — the most abundant type in bone, skin, and tendon tissue. For more targeted joint care, our multi-type collagen formula, Jointfix, includes Type II collagen (from cartilage) and chondroitin sulfate to directly enhance cartilage repair, joint cushioning, and lubrication.
Some studies also support the effectiveness of Bovine collagen for improving joint resilience and bone density.
Research Undertaken: In a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial(1), 94 women aged 40-70 with knee joint problems (osteoarthritis) received 8g of Peptan® hydrolysed collagen or a placebo daily for a period of 6 months.
Research Results: Hydrolysed collagen treatment resulted in a statistically significant reduction in the WOMAC score by a -22% linked to a 32% decrease in joint pain and 44% improvement of stiffness.
Research Undertaken: The same study also sought to discover whether Peptan's Hydrolysed Collagen could improve knee joint function in the same group of women.
Research Results: The Hydrolysed Collagen treatment resulted in a statistically significant increase of the Lysholm score by 7% which demonstrates the improvements over time.
Research Undertaken: In an in vitro study(2), primary cartilage cells (chondrocytes) were cultured in the presence of different concentrations of Peptan® Hydrolysed Collagen for 8 days to demonstrate Hydrolysed Collagen ability to induce the production of the key cartilage components, aggrecan and type 2 collagen, which make up joint tissue.
Research Results: The Hydrolysed Collagen treatment clearly stimulated the expression of aggrecan and type 2 collagen by the joint cells. The absorption rate and accumulation levels of collagen hydrolysate in subjects was monitored for its uptake in the body. Results indicated that upon rapid intestinal absorption of Peptan®, subjects experienced a doubling in the quantity of the nutrient accumulated within their cartilage tissue as compared to the control group.
Research Undertaken: A new in vivo study(3) confirms Peptan® Hydrolysed Collagen role in supporting joint health, providing scientific documentation of the mechanisms behind cartilage degridation and joint inflammation reduction.
Research Results: Our Hydrolysed Collagen is 1) Cartilage-regenerative - it preserves cartilage area during osteoarthritis development, 2) Chondro-regenerative - it stimulates chondrocyte proliferation and stimulates proteoglycan synthesis, and 3) Anti-inflammatory - it normalises synovial thickness and reduces production of the inflammatory marker TNF.
Research Undertaken: As documented in in vitro and in vivo studies (4,5,6,7), supplements with collagen peptides exerts bioactivity that helps bone to stay strong and healthy. Bones are living tissues which undergo continuous remodeling. Collagen provides the organic framework in bones on which minerals are deposited and also contribute to bone flexibility and strength.
Research Results: Research has shown that Peptan® collagen peptides can stimulate the endogenous production of collagen in bone tissue, triggering osteoblasts (bone formation cells) and increasing bone size and firmness.
Research Undertaken: In an in vivo study(7) an established model that mimics the loss of bone mass (osteopenia) in postmenopausal women (Ovx) was used to investigate the effect of Peptan® Hydrolysed Collagen supplements– the experimental group (Ovx + CollagenX) received a daily dose of our 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.
Research Results: Hydrolysed Collagen treatment restored bone mineral density (BMD) in the experimental group to the normal level. In contrast, the control group had a reduced BMD.
Research Undertaken: The same study (above) also investigated the microarchitecture and strength of the bones.
Research Results: It demonstrated that treatment with Hydrolysed Collagen increases ultimate bone strength compared to the control group.
Research Undertaken: Peptan® Hydrolysed Collagen was compared to a control protein in the in vitro study(7). Primary bone cells were cultured in the presence of the Hydrolysed Collagen for 2 weeks.
Research Results: It was found that the Hydrolysed Collagen treatment promoted the formation of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and stimulated their activity. In contrast, the presence of bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts) was suppressed. The control protein did not show the same effect.
Research Undertaken: In the recently published in vivo study on bone metabolism(8), performed in a collaboration with INRA in France, Peptan® was shown to stimulate processes involved in forming bone mass and inhibited the formation of fully functional cells that break down bone mass. Bovine, fish, and marine collagen powders all showed comparable benefits.
Research Results: These findings clearly demonstrate that collagen peptides work on both sides of the balance – improving bone formation and reducing bone breakdown – to improve overall bone health.

Although all CollagenX products will be beneficial in reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis and improving joint health, clinical studies demonstrate a clear beneficial effect of our Bovine Collagen peptide treatment on joint pain and function in patients with osteoarthritis. The safety record and demonstrated absence of side effects make our collagen peptides a valuable alternative symptom-modifying treatment for osteoarthritis. Thus, they present a highly useful nutraceutical to help maintain the quality of life during ageing.
Seeing results from collagen supplements can vary from person to person. Some people report improvements in joint discomfort within a few weeks, while others may notice changes after several months of consistent use.
It's essential to remember that collagen is a building block and takes time for the body to incorporate it into joint tissues.
While collagen is primarily associated with joint health, it also plays a role in bone health. It's a key component of the bone matrix, providing structure and strength.
Our recommended dose is 10 grams per serving every day. (serving spoon included in the pack). However hydrolysed Collagen is not a one size fits all and may vary depending on factors such as age and health status.
