After 6 months, the study revealed that regular intake of 10 grams of SOLUGEL® lead to a significant results: 

Improvement of knee functionality. Participants experienced a significant reduction in pain and improvement in knee functionality, as indicated by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score.

Increased daily activity levels. Collagen peptides positively impacted the daily living activities (ADLs) of the participants (such as commuting, cleaning, and shopping), while the placebo group showed no change.

Improved mental health. SOLUGEL® collagen peptides also improved mental health scores, while none of the participants in the placebo group saw any improvement.
