AbstractAs the global population gets older, joint-related health concerns are increasingly common, such as osteoarthritis causing pain and reducing mobility. Collagen peptides have been proposed as
nutraceuticals to improve joint health in patients with osteoarthritis. We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled study in elderly women with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis and showed that the oral intake of collagen peptides (Peptan®) for a duration of 6 months significantly reduces joint pain and improves physical mobility as assessed by two well- established scoring systems (WOMAC and Lysholm score). This study confirms that collagen peptides are a highly efficient nutraceutical to improve joint health which can help to maintain an active lifestyle throughout ageing.
