Why joints matter

Movement is everything.

Mobility is independence. It's the Sunday walk on the promenade, the garden you still kneel in, the hike you promised yourself. Looking after your joints early is how those moments stay ordinary — and yours.

The science behind AminoLock®

Collagen, made small enough to matter.

Collagen is naturally a very large molecule. Genacol's patented AminoLock® Sequence Technology breaks bovine collagen down into peptides under one kilodalton — the lowest molecular weight in the world — so the body can absorb more of what matters for joints.

01 · Native collagen

A long triple helix, around 300 kDa

Too large to be absorbed intact. Most of it never reaches the joint.
02 · AminoLock® hydrolysis

Patented enzymatic cutting

Enzymes cut the chain at precise points into very short di- and tri-peptides. CA 2950096 · US 11,040,081.
03 · AminoLock® Collagen

Peptides under 1 kDa

McGill University research found these peptides are better absorbed and metabolised than generic collagen.
Peptide size comparedkilodaltons · log scale
Native collagen≈300 kDa
Typical hydrolysed collagen≈2–5 kDa
Genacol AminoLock® Collagen<1 kDa

Native and typical hydrolysed weights are indicative ranges. Larder et al., Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. 2021; LWT 2022.

In a six-month randomised, double-blind trial of over 140 patients, a greater proportion of those taking Genacol AminoLock® Collagen reported a notable reduction in joint pain than those on placebo (Bruyère et al., 2012). Two further studies examined knee osteoarthritis, joint function and cartilage alongside exercise.
