7 reasons why everyone over 50 should be taking THIS type of protein
Jesse van der Velde
If you’re over 50, man or woman…
If you’ve noticed that getting out of bed in the morning takes just a bit longer than it used to…
Or if you’ve already had your bones and joints checked more than once…
Then you’re already “in the know” – bone health is a constant concern.
Believe me, you’re not alone.
According to the RIVM, over 75% of Dutch people over the age of 25 regularly suffer from painful bones, muscles, or joints – all essential parts we need to move smoothly. \[1,2]
But for those who don’t know:
Declining bone and joint health is a major reason why we feel sore and stiff in the morning…

Since 2006, Jesse has guided more than 500,000 people of all ages towards optimal health.
As a health expert with over 18 years of experience, I’ve met countless people who felt their best days were behind them.
I’ve seen people consider going into massive debt just to renovate their ground floor…
…all because climbing the stairs had become too exhausting.
Or maybe you just want to keep fully enjoying your golden years.
But most importantly, I’ve seen people achieve incredible improvements with a simple nutritional solution.
I’ll show you why it worked for them — and why it could help you regain your independence and mobility, even if you think it’s too late.
“The main reason I started was to help reduce the pain in my knees. I truly believe that adding this to my coffee has not only helped my knees but also my overall well-being. I started with one scoop a few years ago, but since 2021 I’ve been adding two scoops to my morning coffee… I’m doing well at 86, but I can’t say how things would be without it. I have no plans to stop!”
1. What you “know” about calcium… is probably not true
Chances are you’ve at least considered calcium supplements.
After all, we’re told that our bones are mostly made of calcium.
Unfortunately, I have to say that this is misleading.
Bone tissue is complex. It’s true that calcium gives bones their strength and density, and that calcium makes up the majority of bone weight…
…but calcium needs a structure to attach to.
That structure? It’s the organic, living part of your bones… and it consists of 90% collagen protein.
Without enough collagen, calcium has nowhere to go — and in some cases, it can build up in blood vessels, leading to arteriosclerosis and kidney stones.
Obviously, that’s not what you want!
It’s one of the reasons why some experts recommend POSTMENOPAUSAL women to AVOID calcium supplements.
In fact, one of the most extensive studies ever — analyzing data from more than 51,000 people — concluded that calcium and vitamin D supplements DO NOT reduce the risk of hip fractures in older women. \[3]
The same Harvard study concludes that most people take TOO MUCH calcium — how did we get here? \[4]
2. We have been misled by a "Calcium Myth" for nearly 50 years
As it turns out, two studies from the late 1970s are the source of the Calcium Myth. \[5]
In both studies, postmenopausal women received calcium supplements — for only a few weeks.
At the end of the studies, the women were tested and found to have more calcium in their blood — the researchers didn’t even really look at bone density!
The studies were too short and limited to provide us with truly useful information — yet we blindly believed this Calcium Myth for the next 40-plus years.
In recent years, scientists have focused on studies of bone density… and the results are downright shocking.
Most people don’t know that our body naturally produces collagen…
But after the age of 30, we produce 1-2% less collagen each year. By the age of 60, most people produce only HALF as much collagen as in their youth.
And it’s not easy to get collagen from your diet.
It’s found in parts of animals you normally DON’T eat… like bone, cartilage, tendons, and skin.
See the problem?
In our modern Western diet, almost no one eats these parts of animals.
That means an increased risk of bone fractures…
…and as I said, most people over 50 are just one fall away from a drastic reduction in their quality of life.
“My joints hurt, especially my knees. I felt tired and frustrated. I started Move Freely from Superfoodies about 5 months ago. After about 3 months, I felt less pain in my knees and had more energy. The extra benefits were thicker, healthier hair, stronger nails, and firmer-looking skin. I use 2 scoops of Move Freely daily. I’ve also added bone health, joint health, and MCT oil to my morning coffee. I feel great!”
3. This specific protein can help reverse age-related "bone thinning"
Collagen supplements help you replenish what your body no longer produces — and the studies speak for themselves.
In one study with 103 postmenopausal women, 66 women took 5 grams of collagen daily for 12 months.
The women who took collagen experienced an increase of no less than 7% in their bone mineral density, compared to women who did not take collagen. \[6]
Since bone mineral density decreases by about 1-2% per year after menopause, this means these women regained 4-5 years of bone density… in just 12 months! \[7]
As a health expert, I’ve seen thousands of headlines promising “incredible” results.
Honestly, I couldn’t believe the effect collagen can have.
But don’t just go to the store and grab the first collagen jar you come across…
There are a few more things you need to know to make the most of collagen’s power.
4. Get ready to see your youthfulness return in your hair, skin, nails, digestion… and more
Collagen is not only found in your bones — it is the most abundant protein in your body, providing strength and support to your skin, joints, muscles, hair, and blood vessels.
The name actually comes from the Greek word for “glue,” because it literally holds your body together. \[8]
Hundreds of studies have examined the benefits of daily collagen use.
And the results are simply astonishing:
After 12 weeks, women who took a daily collagen supplement reported better skin hydration and a significant reduction in wrinkle depth. \[9]
In a 24-week study with 25 participants, only 2.5 grams of collagen per day were needed to promote faster nail growth and fewer breaks. \[10]
When 31 healthy adults took 16 grams of collagen daily for six months, they reported a significant improvement in stiffness measurements at the end of the study. \[11]
“I’m 73 years young, and after using this for two weeks, I’ve already noticed weight loss, stronger nails, less hair loss, healthier skin, hardly any bruising when I bump into something, and improved hydration of my hands and face. My bone results are improving, my digestion has gotten better, and I already feel more energetic!! I can hardly wait to see how I feel in another two months!!”

5. Buyer beware… 99% of collagen brands forget 4 ESSENTIAL ingredients for people over 50.
You knew the answer wouldn’t be that simple, right?
There are actually 28 different types of collagen in your body.
90% of that is Type I, found in your skin, bones, and blood vessels. \[12]
Type III is also important and makes up your muscles and digestive system. \[13]\[14]
Yet most collagen brands miss something crucial.
They forget that besides your bones and muscles…
Your joints are the key to freedom of movement.
Painful joints = difficulty moving, everything takes extra effort, careful with every step.
Flexible joints = freedom to go where you want, do what you want, when you want.
Science has discovered 4 ingredients that contribute to healthy joints and real freedom of movement.
Yet 99% of collagen brands forget to add these…
But today, we reveal them:
1. Glucosamine – the compound that keeps your cartilage healthy and eliminates joint pain.
A comprehensive analysis of 15 clinical studies shows that glucosamine significantly reduces pain scores in knee osteoarthritis compared to placebo.
2. Chondroitin – acts as a natural shock absorber that protects your joints with every movement.
Researchers at the University of Liège proved that chondroitin sulfate causes significant improvement in joint function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
3. MSM – the anti-inflammatory that helps you get out of bed smoothly in the morning.
In a 12-week clinical study, participants who took 2 grams of MSM daily experienced significant improvements in the health of their knee joint.
4. Hyaluronic acid – keeps your joints hydrated so every movement feels effortless.
Researchers at the University of Piemonte Orientale discovered that hyaluronic acid directly supports cartilage function after ingestion.
This is why Move Freely is so different from all other collagen supplements.
It’s much MORE than just collagen.
It’s one complete formula for:
Strong bones that can take a hit, even if you’re over 50.
Joints that move smoothly again like they did 20 years ago.
The freedom to move spontaneously and do what you want — without thinking.
Tight skin, thicker hair, and strong nails.
6. We discovered that other collagen supplements were "just marketing" — so we developed one that meets your needs.
As a health expert, I have helped thousands of people improve their mobility, independence, and confidence through healthy nutrition…
But the biggest changes — more strength, more energy, more youthfulness — I saw in people over 50 who used collagen daily, especially when combined with the right supporting ingredients.
However, I struggled to find the right collagen combination.
If a supplement did contain Types I and III, the source was often not of high quality — or worse, the powder was clumpy.
And even when I found good collagen, it lacked the crucial supporting nutrients needed for freedom of movement later in life.
It seems like other brands spend all their money on influencers and celebrities, instead of giving you the best product.
So I searched for farmers who raise only grass-fed, free-range animals…
…to turn their “by-products” into high-quality collagen peptides, reducing waste from the animal.
Then we developed Move Freely — a unique formula that contains not only collagen Types I and III but also glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and bamboo extract.
We refined the formula again and again until we had something that dissolves easily in coffee, milk, tea, water… basically any liquid, without aftertaste — just a smooth, creamy texture.
Since then, we ran a 3-month test with 100 people suffering from bone and joint issues.
7. These are the reviews… the difference is clear. Here’s what real customers say about Move Freely.
The doctor offered a list of alternative remedies I could take to fix it.
I had read enough and refused to take any of them. I told her I would improve my diet and figure out which minerals or nutrients I was missing.
She wasn’t happy with that idea, so I started with collagen++."
I was falling apart but now I’m stronger than ever. The clock of my body has been turned back twenty years, and I’m enjoying it.
Thank you, Superfoodies!"
Two months after using Move Freely, I can see light at the end of the tunnel. The pain is almost completely gone, and my hair is growing back. I’m shocked, as I had been using another collagen supplement for over a year with no results…
I’m going to be able to ride my horse again. YES!"
*Individual results may vary. Results have not been independently verified.
The results are nothing short of amazing…
Imagine your doctor smiling at the results of your bone scan…
Never worrying again about the side effects that come with alternative “solutions”…
Or the uncertain future of your bone and joint health…
Stronger joints so powerful even your grandchildren can’t keep up with you.
I’d even bet you sleep more deeply because you toss and turn less with annoying aches…
And what was once dry, thinning hair suddenly becomes rejuvenated…
With nails so strong you can confidently grip things without them breaking…
And with every week you take collagen, deep wrinkles and sagging skin start to lift and tighten.
That’s exactly how effective Move Freely has been for our customers.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
But what makes Move Freely different from regular collagen?
Most collagen supplements contain only one or two types of collagen.
But there are many more powerful ingredients that contribute to freedom of movement, strong bones, and flexible joints.
As a health expert, I’ve discovered there’s a synergistic effect when you combine multiple types of collagen with specific ingredients that enhance absorption and effectiveness.
That’s why Move Freely contains:
Two types of collagen in one formula:
○ Type I collagen (from beef) for skin, bones, and blood vessels
○ Type III collagen (from beef) for muscles and digestionJoint-supporting nutrients:
○ Glucosamine sulfate – helps maintain healthy cartilage
○ Chondroitin sulfate – acts as a shock absorber in joints
○ MSM – supports joint repair and reduces inflammation
○ Hyaluronic acid – keeps joints hydrated and flexibleCollagen boosters:
○ Vitamin C – essential for collagen production in the body
○ Bamboo extract – rich in silica for stronger connective tissues
A clinical study at the University of Piemonte Orientale in Italy demonstrated that hyaluronic acid effectively supports cartilage functions, which is essential for joint health. \[16]
Researchers at Florida State University found that middle-aged active individuals who took 10 grams of collagen peptides daily for 6 months experienced significant improvements in daily activities and pain reduction. \[17]
And a clinical study from Italy and Spain showed that patients who received vitamin C along with collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid reported significantly less pain and improved quality of life after just 6 months.
“I ordered it and received it within a day… That was my first big surprise… It arrived on Thursday, and I made a cup of coffee and took two scoops… It dissolved almost immediately, and I couldn’t even taste it… So, after 4 days and 4 cups, I can already feel better. Without realizing it, I was walking without my cane.”
Right now, you might be wondering how you can try Move Freely for yourself.
We want you to absolutely get the best price, especially in these times of rising living costs.
That’s why we’ve decided to offer an exclusive deal to ease the stress many households are experiencing due to inflation…
Allowing you to benefit from big discounts on Move Freely with larger orders.
This is big news, as I and many experts believe collagen Types I and III are the most superior source to have on hand…
…especially now that more and more Dutch people are discovering the power of collagen.
So how much collagen should you take to reap its benefits?
Based on research, using 10–20 grams (2 scoops) of Move Freely per day can offer many health benefits.
But for older adults, the effects of years of collagen deficiency can be very detrimental.
That’s why I recommend older adults take at least 20 grams of Move Freely for at least 60 days (or longer) to achieve maximum benefits.
Using a double dose is a method called “collagen loading.”
Many of our customers have the most success with this strategy because it replenishes years of deficiency.
This helps ensure collagen levels stay good and benefits for bones, joints, hair, skin, nails, and gut health are maintained.
So it makes sense why so many Move Freely users order large amounts at once…
The benefits of collagen really become clear when taken day after day and month after month.
As I said before, collagen is not a “miracle” supplement…
Move Freely only works if you…
Taking it consistently every day. Just add it to your morning coffee, water, juice, or smoothie.
Taking the right dose. Using 10 grams daily helps replenish your collagen deficiency faster so you can experience maximum benefits.
Using it long enough. From my experience: the longer you use collagen, the greater (and longer-lasting) the results will be.
In other words, taking a scoop here and there is not enough.
Consistency is key.
That’s why I advise my clients to:
Start with at least 3 tubs of Move Freely at once.
And 6 tubs if they want to be completely safe.
Then take it for a period of at least 60 days.
If you’re serious about achieving the full results, I recommend taking collagen every day.
We want as many people as possible to have access to this powerful collagen formula, without money standing in the way.
Only in June: multi-tub deals
After testing Move Freely with a group of 100 people and receiving all those positive reviews…
We’ve decided to finally make Move Freely available to everyone.
To celebrate, you now get extra bulk discounts on larger purchases.
Order 1 tub and pay €44.99…
But if you order 3 or 6 tubs, you pay just €39.99 or €33.99 per tub!
That’s only €1.35 – €1.59 per serving for the most complete and high-quality collagen you can find in the Netherlands.
Remember: all other collagens are either extremely expensive or only target nails, skin, and hair.
Move Freely, on the other hand, also supports strong bones, flexible joints, and easy movement.
Am I crazy for making Move Freely this affordable?
Listen: I’m giving you this special offer because I understand that in today’s economy, it can be a challenge to make ends meet…
You shouldn’t have to choose between paying your electricity bill and taking care of your body and health.
In fact, this small investment in your health today could save you thousands of euros in future medical costs.
In short: I never want money to stand between you and your health.
That’s exactly why we’re giving you this exclusive offer to save on Move Freely.
Best of all, there’s no risk, as our 60-day money-back guarantee has you completely covered.
It’s a no-brainer if you ask me.

People who once told themselves they would do whatever it takes to stay healthy…
To give their body, mind, and soul everything they need…
But when the moment came…
They disappeared.
I realize this may sound like tough love—but in my eyes, it’s necessary.
That’s why we developed our Type I & III collagen formula to be the purest and most powerful source of collagen on the market.
All that’s left for you to do is click “Try Risk-Free” and complete your order.
Committed to your results,
