Movement Is Part of Who You Are
You want to keep running, keep lifting and keep making plans that involve more than sitting still. That takes more than muscle. Your tendons transfer force, your ligaments help keep joints stable, and cartilage helps your joints move smoothly.
MATRIX was made to target the tissues that keep your body moving. It combines collagen peptides studied for tendon function and joint comfort with vitamin C and malto-OSA silicon. A daily habit for the body you want to keep using.
The Research-backed Ingredients in MATRIX
5 g • Collagen peptides for tendon and ligament support
Your tendons and ligaments handle the pull and pressure of every stride, lift and change of direction. TENDOFORTE® is a specific collagen peptide ingredient studied in people for tendon function alongside exercise, and for perceived ankle stability.
Research studies:
5 g • Collagen peptides for joint comfort
Comfortable joints make it easier to enjoy being active. We chose FORTIGEL® for its research on activity-related joint discomfort, including a 12-week trial in which people taking 5 g daily reported greater improvement than those taking a placebo.
Research studies:
10 g • Types I & III
Types I and III are the main collagens in your tendons, ligaments, bones and skin. Collagen peptides supply the building blocks your body uses to make new collagen, along with short peptides that reach your blood intact and may signal your body to create new collagen. MATRIX includes 10 g to support collagen throughout your body. In a six-month trial, active middle-aged adults taking 10 g a day reported better knee function in everyday activities.
Research studies:
10 mg bioavailable silicon
Orthosilicic acid, a soluble form of silicon, has been shown to stimulate collagen production in laboratory studies. That research is why we looked beyond collagen powder alone. MATRIX uses malto-OSA for its bioavailability and absorption in human studies. Each daily serving provides 10 mg of silicon.
Research studies:
50 mg • As ascorbic acid
Your body needs vitamin C to make collagen. It supports the enzymes that help collagen form its stable structure, which makes it a natural partner to the peptides in MATRIX. Each serving includes 50 mg to support normal collagen formation.
The Story Behind MATRIX
“I run and lift because I enjoy it, and I want to keep doing both for a long time. I pay attention to protein and training, but I kept coming back to the tissues that make all that effort possible: tendons, ligaments and joints.
I had been taking collagen on and off for a few years. When I looked at the collagen market, I wanted to know more than how many grams were on the label. Which peptides had actually been studied? What were they studied for? And how much did people take?
That led me to FORTIGEL® and TENDOFORTE®. They had been studied in people for the things I cared about: joint comfort and tendon function. I included both at the amounts used in those studies, alongside a full collagen base, vitamin C and bioavailable silicon.
MATRIX is the formula I wanted for my own daily routine, with everything together in one daily serving.”

How To Use MATRIX
- Take one daily serving including on rest
days. You get 20 g of collagen peptides, 50 mg vitamin C and 10 mg silicon as malto-OSA. - Give it time. Connective tissues are some of the slowest tissues to turn over, which means that it takes weeks or even months to build new collagen. Don’t expect to feel immediate results.
How MATRIX Works
Collagen gives connective tissue much of its structure. Your body continually breaks it down and makes more, using amino acids and the nutrients involved in collagen formation.
When you take collagen, digestion releases amino acids and small peptides. Some peptides reach the bloodstream intact. Laboratory studies suggest that certain peptides can influence the cells that produce connective tissue.
MATRIX combines the two patented collagen peptides focused on joint and tendon health with an additional collagen base, plus vitamin C and bioavailable silicon to support normal collagen formation.
Common Questions About MATRIX
Partly. Most protein breaks down into single amino acids. Hydrolyzed collagen leaves a share intact as short peptides, like proline-hydroxyproline, which reach the blood within about an hour. In cell studies, that peptide prompts the cells that build connective tissue to multiply. So you get the building blocks and a signal to the cells that use them.
Once a day. On training days, try taking it 30 to 60 minutes before you train, so the collagen building blocks in your blood peak while the tissue is under load. On rest days, take it any time.
Give it two to three months. Tendon and cartilage rebuild slowly, so taking it every day matters more than anything else.
Yes. THRIVE is your daily foundation. MATRIX covers collagen and connective tissue.
Yes. Every batch is tested for identity, potency, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. Identity confirms each ingredient is what the label says. Potency confirms the amount. Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) and microbial results confirm the batch is clean.
For everything you still want to do.
Make room in your daily routine for the tendons, ligaments and joints that keep you moving. MATRIX brings together 20 g of collagen, vitamin C and malto-OSA silicon in one daily formula.
