Mobility & Fitness

wave

Collagen plays an important role in our body. It sustains tendons, skin and cartilage, thereby supporting integrity, firmness and elasticity of the musculoskeletal system.

Joint pains, reduced mobility and impaired muscle functions are common – not only among athletes. Collagen hydrolysate is known to stimulate collagen synthesis with a regenerating effect on connective tissues.

On our mission to reshape health and wellbeing from within, Viscofan has developed COLLinstant active®  and COLLinstant ultra active +® premium collagen peptides with beneficial effects on mobility and an active lifestyle.

COLLinstant active® has a clinically proven effect on joint health & mobility in osteoarthritis patients

In a clinical study with 120 osteoarthrits patients, COLLinstant active® was effective in reducing pain, inflammation, and analgesic use, while at the same time increasing joint function and overall quality of life. With its high acceptance as soluble, easy-to-use powder, COLLinstant active® is an effective nutritional supplement to support the maintenance of joint health and mobility.

Going strong with COLLinstant active®!

The Visco Everest Expedition -
Óscar Arroyo's 7 Summit Conquest

May 2026: Our colleague Óscar Arroyo Ubeda has conquered the seventh and last milestone of his 7 summits project by reaching the top of Mount Everest (8,848 m). Read his personal story:

Two months after arriving in Kathmandu and after mastering several demanding stages of ascent, Oscar has onquered Mount Everest (8,848 m), achieving his ultimate goal: standing on top of each of the world’s Seven Summits! Only around 500 mountaineers before him have achieved this extraordinary feat, and now Oscar has earned his place among them. During his trip, he shared his thoughts on his endeavor:

As I continue my ascent during the Visco Everest Expedition, I am reminded every day that reaching a summit is never about a single factor. It is about consistency, preparation, and listening carefully to your body.
My training for this expedition started long before setting foot in the Himalayas: months of structured physical preparation, altitude conditioning, and a disciplined diet designed to support endurance and recovery. 

With me all the way: COLLinstant active® and COLLinstant ultra active +®

Within this routine, COLLinstant active® and COLLinstant ultra active +® have been part of my daily nutrition as functional ingredients, not as shortcuts, but as support.

At high altitude, recovery becomes slower and every effort feels more demanding. What I personally value about COLLinstant active® is its low molecular weight, which fits well into my nutritional strategy and daily meals. Combined with proper training and balanced nutrition, it has supported my routine in a practical and convenient way, especially on demanding days when recovery really matters.

This expedition reinforces a simple truth: performance is built step by step. There is no magic formula—only commitment, smart preparation, and the right tools. For me, COLLinstant active® has been one of those tools, integrated naturally into a wider ACTIVE lifestyle focused on movement, nutrition, and resilience.

I see this journey as a reflection of Viscofan’s philosophy: progress comes from within, shaped by everyday choices. The mountain teaches humility, patience, and respect and the same applies to how we approach health and wellbeing.

Every step upward is earned. And every step reminds me why preparation makes the difference.

“Mobility & fitness are imperative in an expedition at 36°C below zero.

COLLinstant active® helped my joints & muscles master the extreme physical challenges of climbing the 4.892 meters to the summit.”

Healthy Aging

wave

Collagen plays an important role in our body. It sustains tendons, skin and cartilage, thereby supporting integrity, firmness and elasticity of the musculoskeletal system, soft tissues and skin

Food supplementation with collagen type I & III peptides is widespread to counter the effects of aging. Current literature supports that high quality collagen hydrolysate is a valuable source of amino acids. Already 10 g daily intake stimulates and facilitates natural collagen synthesis which promotes the regeneration of collagenous tissues. Degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis can be counter-acted, dermal deterioration slowed.

DID YOU KNOW?

As we age, our collagen levels drop and collagen structure changes. Daily intake of collagen peptides stimulates & facilitates natural collagen synthesis, thereby promoting healthy aging.

Skin & Beauty

wave

Collagen is an essential component of the skin that supports its flexibility, firmness and elasticity.

As we age, the production of collagen slows down and collagen structure changes, leading to loss of elasticity, reductions in epidermal thickness and wrinkle formation.

Protein-enriched diets and food supplementation with collagen type I peptides is widespread to counter the effects of skin aging and to support overall skin beauty and health.

COLLinstant active® and COLLinstant ultra active +® are the optimal functional food for health-conscious consumers: Their hydrolized collagen type I & III peptides contain a unique composition and high amount of essential building blocks, such as the amino acid proline for healthy joints, bones and connective tis­sues. 

With its ultra low molecular weight (<1000 Da) and a high amount of bioactive di- and tripeptides, COLLinstant ultra active +® is particularly effective on skin health – a benefit that is clinically proven.
