COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS - Collagen Peptides for Tendon, Ligament, & Cartilage Support
Collagen Synthesis™ is the award-winning, joint-building collagen that physical therapists and elite athletes count on to keep their joints strong, mobile, and resilient.
It combines two patented, clinically proven sources of Bioactive Collagen Peptides with other key nutrients involved in connective tissue metabolism and repair.
Unlike generic collagen supplements that may be assimilated into bodily tissues at random, the peptides in Collagen Synthesis have been engineered specifically for cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
Never has there been a more precise, science-backed way to give your joints the raw materials they need to fuel collagen production and formation.
Introducing the 2023 Sports Nutrition Product of the Year
Each year thousands of products are reviewed and judged by an independent, third-party panelist of nutrition experts at the NutraIngredients USA Awards. New products are judged based on their effectiveness, scientific backing, and innovation quality.
In 2023, Collagen Synthesis™ took home the prestigious "Product of the Year" award in Sports Nutrition. Keep reading to see how elite (and everyday) athletes are confirming what science has already proven: Collagen Synthesis™ works unlike any other therapeutic solution you've ever seen.

Generic collagen supplements fall short. Collagen Synthesis™ delivers clinically supported results that you can feel. You’ll be able to recover, repair, and come back stronger — so you can keep doing what you love.
Not only are the ingredients in Collagen Synthesis™ proven to help you build stronger connective tissue structures along with exercise, they also help reduce activity-related joint pain, strengthen tendons and ligaments, and improve joint mobility.
The power of Collagen Synthesis™ comes from the unique peptide profiles in the patented ingredients Fortigel® and Tendoforte®.
It also contains three other nutrients that work synergistically with these collagen peptides to support collagen fibril formation and connective tissue health.
Published research shows the ingredients in Collagen Synthesis™ may help you:
- Build and maintain cartilage mass.
- Strengthen tendons and ligaments.
- Improve joint stability, mobility, and resilience.
- Reduce activity-related joint pain.
- Preserve bone mass.
- Improve lean body composition
If you’ve been disappointed by generic collagen supplements, look no further than the clinically proven, joint-supporting benefits of Collagen Synthesis™.
Cutting-Edge Peptide Technology for Joint Repair
Collagen Synthesis™ combines two patented, clinically proven sources of bioactive collagen peptides.
Unlike generic collagen supplements that may be assimilated into bodily tissues at random, the peptides in Collagen Synthesis™ are optimized specifically for cartilage, tendon, and ligament metabolism.
Never has there been a more precise, science-backed way to give your joints the raw materials they need to fuel collagen production and formation.
Ingredients
Fortigel®
Fortigel®
Fortigel® is a collagen peptide that has been effectively ‘cut’ to match the receptor sites within cartilage tissues. When consumed, it helps stimulate chondrocytes — the cells responsible for cartilage maintenance.9
Collagen Synthesis™contains 5 grams of Fortigel®, the clinically supported dosage for supporting cartilage maintenance.
Tendoforte®
Tendoforte®
Tendoforte® has a molecular weight that matches the receptor sites in tendons and ligaments. It helps produce more fibroblasts. These are the cells responsible for synthesizing new collagen and maintaining the structural framework of connective tissue.9
Fibroblasts also play a crucial role in the tissue healing process, making Tendoforte® especially effective at improving the strength and stability of tendons and ligaments.
Each serving of Collagen Synthesis™ contains the clinically supported 5-gram dosage of Tendoforte®.
Buffered Vitamin C
Buffered Vitamin C
Supplementing with vitamin C supports optimal collagen formation and reduces oxidative damage from exercise-induced tissue stress.10, 11
In cases of vitamin C deficiency, collagen fibers cannot repair properly and lack adhesion strength. More importantly, your body can’t form or store collagen without vitamin C, making it a crucial cofactor in collagen formation.
A 2019 pilot study published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism showed that taking vitamin C with collagen peptides before training doubled collagen synthesis rates in the exercising joints.12
That’s why each serving of Collagen Synthesis™ contains120 mg (133% daily value) of easily digested buffered vitamin C.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid
When you take hyaluronic acid with collagen peptides, you get a synergistic joint-building response. That’s because hyaluronic acid works with collagen to provide a moisture-rich environment within joint structures.13 This enables collagen fibers to stretch without breaking, improving their resilience and reducing fiber tears during the critical tissue remodeling phase of tissue recovery.
This is vital to rebuilding, as fragile new collagen fibers need time to stretch and align properly without breaking down.
Studies show supplementing with hyaluronic acid:
• Provides structural support for collagen-producing fibroblasts14
• Improves synovial fluid effusion in joints and reduces joint discomfort15
• Improves joint strength (52 mg of hyaluronic acid helped healthy subjects with mild joint discomfort improve their knee strength)16
Collagen Synthesis™ contains 80 mg of hyaluronic acid to bolster the collagen-rebuilding process.
Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid
Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic Acid
Choline-Stabilized Orthosilicic acid is a highly absorbable form of the mineral silicon. Silicon plays a pivotal role in collagen synthesis within joints, bone mineralization, and overall immune health. Even though silicon is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet, most people don’t get enough.
That’s because it doesn’t accumulate in the body. Multiple studies have shown that silicon supplementation improves joint, bone, and skin health.17
Studies indicate that combining choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid with collagen peptides may stimulate collagen production and connective tissue repair more than either ingredient would on its own.18
Because it appears to support tissue remodeling when combined with collagen, we included 10 mg of choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid in every serving of Collagen Synthesis™. This is the most bioavailable form of the mineral and the most targeted method of supporting collagen maintenance, rebuilding, and longevity.

Collagen Synthesis™ FAQs
How do I use Collagen Synthesis™?
How do I use Collagen Synthesis™?
Mix one scoop into any beverage or meal once daily. For best results, consume one serving 30 minutes before exercising.
Can I take Collagen Synthesis™ on days I don’t work out?
Can I take Collagen Synthesis™ on days I don’t work out?
Absolutely. Just mix one scoop into any beverage.
Can I mix Collagen Synthesis™ into my coffee, or will hot coffee damage the collagen?
Can I mix Collagen Synthesis™ into my coffee, or will hot coffee damage the collagen?
Yes, you can. Coffee will NOT damage the collagen peptides. Collagen's initial degradation temperature is 572° F. Coffee is typically brewed at around 185° F.
Should I take undenatured Type II collagen or collagen protein? What’s the difference?
Should I take undenatured Type II collagen or collagen protein? What’s the difference?
Both are effective. And both can be taken together depending on your goals.
Type II collagen produces a novel effect in the body. It regulates the immune response responsible for inter-cartilaginous inflammation, supporting the overall healing process and helping manage joint discomfort.
Collagen peptides (aka Collagen Protein) are primarily made of Types I and III, which have different mechanisms and effects. They help kick-start the machinery that builds new collagen and optimizes tissue formation.
Type II primarily protects against and helps with inflammation. Types I and III (what's in Collagen Synthesis™) primarily serve as building agents.
Is collagen a low-quality protein?
Is collagen a low-quality protein?
Collagen's low protein quality score compared to other forms – like whey, egg, etc. – is irrelevant.
The mechanism of action of Collagen Synthesis™ depends on the cell signaling process that takes place when you consume it, not the amino acid profile.
Your body's response to detecting collagen in the bloodstream is to produce and form new collagen.
