Maintaining strong muscles and healthy bones is key to staying active and mobile as we age. Two important nutrients that support joint and bone health are collagen and glucosamine. Together, they help keep your joints flexible, reduce pain, and protect cartilage-the cushion between your bones. Understanding how this work and how to support your joints can make a big difference in your quality of life.
What Are Collagen and Glucosamine?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and a major building block of connective tissues such as skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It provides structure and strength, but collagen production naturally declines with age, leading to joint stiffness and weaker bones.
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in cartilage. It helps maintain cartilage health by supporting its structure and promoting the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates joints and reduces friction. This helps joints move smoothly and protects cartilage from breakdown.
While collagen forms the framework of joint tissues, glucosamine ensures these tissues function properly by maintaining cartilage and joint lubrication.
How They Support Joint and Bone Health
- Collagen gives strength and elasticity to ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, helping prevent joint wear and tear.
- Glucosamine stimulates cartilage repair and slows its breakdown, reducing joint pain and improving mobility.
- Both have anti-inflammatory effects that help ease joint discomfort and protect tissues from damage.
- Together, they support bone density by maintaining the cartilage that cushions bones and reducing inflammation that can harm bone health.
