Collagen for Joint Pain Relief

Did you know that collagen can ease your joint pains?

You’ve probably heard how collagen reverses the signs of aging and brings back your youthful glow! It even helps tone your muscles and sculpt that body you’ve always wanted!

But did you know that collagen does wonders for  joints too? That’s some news! But no matter how improbable it seems, it’s true.

Collagen strengthens and rejuvenates EVERYTHING— from your skin to your muscles, hair, nails, and your joints!

We know it sounds too good to be true, which is why people are always buzzing about collagen. But how exactly does collagen help our joints? 

If you’re one of those people who are unsure and curious about collagen’s role in relieving joint pain, keep  reading!

Before diving into how collagen can help relieve joint pains, let's first understand a joint's structure and function. Don't worry; we'll stick to the basics.

A joint is where two or more bones meet. It's how our 206 bones are attached while still allowing for movement, so we're not just one huge bone that snaps when we try to bend.

There are around 360 joints in the body, making us incredibly flexible, agile, and just able to move.

On the other hand, there are movable joints or synovial joints. They’re joined by tendons, ligaments, and cartilages with synovial fluid in between the surfaces of each bone (we’ll talk more about these later).

The most common examples of movable joints are ball and socket joints (shoulders and hips) and hinge joints (elbows and knees). Ball and socket joints allow you to make rotational movements and be more flexible.

That’s because ball and socket joints are shallower joints which, unfortunately, makes them prone to dislocations. We're pretty sure you've heard a lot about dislocated shoulders and hip replacements.

Hinge joints, on the other hand, provide a more limited movement. They only flex and relax— that’s it. Examples of these are your elbows and knees.

The movable joints are what cause us pain as we age or when we are not careful.

What is the structure of movable joints?

A joint has many parts that work together to allow for movement without pain.

Our joints move because of tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Tendons connect one bone to another, while ligaments connect our muscles to our bones.

These connective tissues keep our joints stable as we move. Without them, our bones wouldn’t stay together, and we’d drop as a pile of bones on the floor.

In each movable or synovial joint, there’s cartilage and synovial fluid.

The cartilage is a specialized connective tissue that acts as a cushion and a shock absorber between bones to lessen the friction as they glide against each other for painless movement.

In addition, synovial fluid is an oily substance that lubricates the joints to reduce friction, allowing both ends of the bones to move against each other smoothly.

When you crack your knuckles or when your knees click when you walk, the sound you hear is from the bubbles in your synovial fluid popping. And by the way, we advise against knuckle cracking. It may lead to some damage in the long run.

Any problem occurring to these parts of a joint’s structure can lead to injury and pain.

However, the most common cause of joint pain is arthritis in our age, which occurs when the cartilage between a joint is worn down.

Without this cushion, the bones would rub against each other, causing severe pain.

So, how does collagen relieve joint pains?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body. It builds and strengthens our connective tissues, including our tendons, ligaments, and cartilage! It also eases inflammation, believe that or not!

Right now, you probably get how collagen helps relieve your achy joints, but let’s get to it anyway.

1. Collagen helps maintain healthy cartilage and prevents it from getting damaged beyond repair.

Cartilage is the heavenly cushion that puts an end to arthritis.

If you’re wondering how collagen can work on different body parts, it’s because there are many kinds of collagen. Some keep your bones healthy, some keep your soft organs functional, and others restore your skin's elasticity, firmness, and youthful glow!

But there’s a specific kind of collagen found in the cartilage between your joints— type II collagen. This type of collagen gives support and flexibility to your joints. A healthy cartilage is better at reducing friction and absorbing shock from your movement for painless movements.

However, as your body’s collagen production slows down with age, your cartilage gradually depletes. That’s why arthritis is more common in older people. 

Collagen loss results in looser and worn-out cartilage, causing osteoarthritis. So, you must replace lost collagen to hopefully restore your cartilage a little bit before it becomes too thin and damaged.

3. Collagen can ease inflammation.

How about that? Just when we thought collagen couldn’t get any more useful, it reveals itself as an anti-inflammatory protein.

The power of collagen against inflammation is from its amino acids: proline and glycine. These two building blocks of collagen stop the production of cytokines, a substance produced by the immune system that sustains an inflammatory response.

Collagen also blocks the enzymes or chemicals produced during inflammation and stops them from destroying the cartilage.

Giving your body more collagen is the ultimate joint pain relief!
