{"product_id":"collagen-super-blend-for-women-45-cacao","title":"Joint Pain During Menopause Support Drink (6-in-1)","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYour joints didn't suddenly fall apart for no reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhen oestrogen drops, two things go, not one. The collagen that holds your tendons and cartilage together, and the anti-inflammatory signalling that kept daily aches from becoming daily pain. Both at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhich is honestly why so many women spend years going from physio to orthopaedic consultant to rheumatologist, getting scans that show nothing structural, being told it's their age or their weight, and leaving with nothing useful. The scan isn't wrong, it's just looking for the wrong thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost collagen supplements aren't built for this either, and we mean that in a specific way, not just as a thing you say to seem different. The research on joint tissue repair points to somewhere between 10 and 20 grams of collagen daily, with multiple types, taken consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAnd the \"multiple types\" part matters more than most people realise: Type I, II, III, V, and X all play different roles in different connective tissue structures, and a lot of products contain one type at 2.5 grams and call it a collagen supplement. It'll do something for your skin, probably... but not much for your hips at 6am.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePathway has 10,880mg of collagen across five types — I, II, III, V and X — drawn from bovine, marine, chicken and eggshell sources. No fillers. Plus MSM and Boswellia for the inflammatory side of what's actually going wrong, and Hyaluronic Acid for joint lubrication. Vitamin C is in there too, which matters because it's what your body needs to actually use collagen in the first place. A lot of people take their collagen without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne thing on the label that's easy to skim past:\u003c\/strong\u003e the recommendation to take it 30 to 60 minutes before any kind of movement. A walk counts, doesn't have to be a workout. The nutrients absorb into joint tissue more efficiently when there's some mechanical load after. That's how the absorption works. It took us a while to figure out the right timing and honestly it's one of the details that makes a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMost women don't notice it happening. They just realise one morning that getting up wasn't the first thing they thought about.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pathway","offers":[{"title":"CACAO","offer_id":57800711504136,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/5753\/7032\/files\/productomage1.png?v=1780348070","url":"https:\/\/takepathway.com\/products\/collagen-super-blend-for-women-45-cacao","provider":"Pathway","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
