Sore knees after training, stairs, or five-a-side? Here’s how collagen can support men’s joints, recovery, and long-term mobility.
If your knees are starting to complain more than they used to — from football, squats, running, wrestling, or just everyday life — you’re not alone. Knee pain is one of the most common issues men report as they move through their 30s and beyond.
Why Knee Pain Is So Common in Men
Your knees take repeated stress over time, including:
- Hard turns, sprints, and tackles
- Heavy leg training (squats, lunges, jumps)
- Running or HIIT on hard surfaces
- Long days standing or walking
- Old injuries that never fully recovered
Inside the knee, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments act as shock absorbers and stabilisers. These tissues rely heavily on collagen. As natural collagen production declines with age, the wear and tear becomes more noticeable.
Common signs men notice include:
- Morning stiffness
- Discomfort walking downstairs
- Aching after training or matches
- Longer recovery after leg sessions
No supplement can undo serious damage or replace proper rehab, but the right support can help your knees cope better with an active lifestyle.
How Collagen Supports Knee Health
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and provides structure and elasticity to:
- Joint cartilage
- Tendons and ligaments
- Bones and connective tissue
When consumed, collagen is broken down into amino acids and peptides that the body uses to support normal collagen formation throughout the body — including the tissues that stabilise and cushion the knees.
The Best Type of Collagen for Knee Support
Research and practical use typically focus on:
- Type I collagen — found in tendons, ligaments, bones, and skin
- Type III collagen — supports connective tissue structure
These types are abundant in high-quality bovine (beef-derived) collagen peptides, which is why bovine collagen is widely used in joint-focused supplements.
Marine collagen can be excellent for skin, but for load-bearing joints like the knees, Type I & III bovine collagen is often the more practical option.
Where Revayo Prime Fits In
Revayo Prime was designed with men’s joints, strength, and recovery in mind:
- European-sourced bovine collagen peptides (Type I & III)
- 14.77 g collagen per serving
- Vitamin C to support normal collagen formation
- Unflavoured and easy to mix daily
The Bottom Line
Collagen won’t fix serious joint damage, but for many men it’s a simple, low-effort way to support the tissues that keep the knees moving.
Used consistently and combined with smart training and recovery, Revayo Prime fits naturally into a long-term joint support routine.
