Many people find that, as they get older, they start to experience all kinds of aches and pains. Stiff and painful joints are a common complaint, since as we age, our muscle mass starts to shrink putting extra pressure on our joints that can make movement difficult. However, painful joints are avoidable. With the right blend of exercise and the support of supplements, muscle mass can be maintained and pressure on joints eased, making movement easier and keeping active a joy. One supplement in particular has been praised by its users for making a difference in just a few weeks, and it’s not just great for joints. Feel’s Pro Collagen Type 2 is designed for improving joint and cartilage health, but it also supports healthy, dense bones and prevents cellular damage caused by inflammation, making it a great all-rounder alongside doctor-prescribed medications, with their approval. The 30-day supply of Feel’s Pro Collagen Type 2 is now £45.15 down from £56.43 when bought as a one-time purchase, but shoppers can save 30% when they subscribe, with their first order discounted to £31.60 down from £39.50. Plus, with the code RCH20 – which expires on 31st October 2025 at 11.59pm BST – shoppers can get an extra 20% off, bringing the one-time purchase down to £36.12. Available in watermelon and mango-vanilla flavours, it’s easy to take. Simply mix two level teaspoons with 200ml-300ml of water and drink. What sets this collagen apart from other leading brands is that it’s bio-mimetic, meaning it has been formulated to be identical to human Type 2 Collagen , which makes up 95% of joint cartilage. It’s been clinically proven to outperform traditional collagen (UC-II), and activates up to 50% of the Type 2 Collagen gene in cartilage cells to stimulate cartilage collagen production and promote joint repair, working with the body to improve overall joint health. According to the brand, users noticed a 44% reduction in joint discomfort in 12 weeks of use, a 67% reduction in joint stiffness and a 61% difference in physical function. However, joint health is improved in as little as 8 weeks’ use. There are other joint care supplements out there, however. For example, a pack of 30 Jointace Collagen tablets costs £15.45 as a one-time purchase from Vitabiotics, and is said to contain important trace minerals, Glucosamine and Chondroitin with Type 2 collagen. Bulk also has its Complete Joint Restore Capsules for £18.99 down from £29.99 for a tub of 180 capsules, six of which should be taken per day. The formula combines Cissus quadrangularis, bromelain, glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate, and is designed as a supplement for strength, power and endurance athletes who put extra strain on their joints during exercise. However, Feel’s Pro Collagen Type 2 powder has lots of great reviews from users. One happy shopper said: “I use the collagen powder and the turmeric tablets. My nails and hair and joints are loving the difference. Highly recommend. Have been using for a couple of months.” Another said: “Love this product, in fact, I love everything I’ve tried from Feel. I’ve recommended to lots of friends and they also use the collagen as well as other items as well.” One buyer said it took a while for them to notice the effects: “Have been taking the Joints formula for more than a year – at last it seems to be having a major effect. My wrist and thumb are much more comfortable and seem to be less reactive to physical or food stresses.” Another said: “I’m not yet convinced of the long term benefits because I’ve only been taking Feel collagen for about 3 months. Haven’t noticed any particular change to hair, skin or joints.” Another user was blown away by the results, however. They wrote: “Everything I’ve ordered from Feel has been fabulous. I’m particularly fond and impressed by the collagen powder which I bought to help stop the sands of time on my face but had the fabulous side effect of massively helping my joints and knees – I’m back running after years of struggling! “I also love the skin and hair gummies – my hair and nails are much healthier and stronger. Premium products that work.” Feel’s Pro Collagen Type 2 supplement is available from Feel.
