Grip + Tendon Health
Muscles grow fast. Tendons don't. Every climber knows this — but few do anything about it. Because what's really holding your climbing back isn't strength. It's your tendons.

Why collagen alone wasn’t enough.
The Raw Material Problem
Collagen gives your body amino acids. But amino acids without cofactors are like lumber without nails. Your body can’t build stable connective tissue without vitamin C, zinc, copper, and manganese working alongside those building blocks.
The Depletion Problem
Climbing depletes zinc through sweat, burns through vitamin C under training stress, and increases copper demand during tissue repair. Most climbers’ diets don’t replace what hard sessions take out — especially if you’re training 3–4 days a week.
The Inflammation Problem
Chronic low-grade inflammation from repeated training stress impairs tendon remodeling. Antioxidant support from sources like grape seed extract and green tea helps your tendons complete the repair cycle instead of staying stuck in a state of damage.

What’s inside — and why each ingredient is there.
Every ingredient in Grip + Tendon Health targets a specific part of the tendon health pathway. Nothing is here for label padding.
Vitamin C — 150mg (167% DV)
The primary catalyst for collagen synthesis. Required for the hydroxylation of proline and lysine — the step that turns amino acids into stable collagen molecules. Dosed above daily value to account for increased demand under training stress. Based on the collagen synthesis research by Keith Baar at UC Davis.
Zinc 15mg + Copper 2mg + Manganese 2mg
The structural mineral triad for connective tissue. Zinc supports cell division at repair sites. Copper enables the cross-linking that gives collagen its tensile strength. Manganese activates enzymes that maintain the extracellular matrix. These three are depleted through sweat and training stress faster than most climbing diets replace them.
Antioxidant Blend — 190mg
Grape seed extract, green tea extract, bilberry, black currant, and pomegranate. Targeted antioxidant support to manage oxidative stress from hard training sessions. Helps connective tissue complete its repair cycle instead of staying stuck in chronic low-grade inflammation.
Daily capsule
No powder to mix. No timing protocol. Two capsules with breakfast.
4 cofactors
Vitamin C, zinc, copper, manganese — the nutrients collagen can’t work without.
What Real Customers Are Saying
My ring finger ached every Monday after weekend sessions. Three months on Grip + Tendon Health — the Monday soreness is gone. I’m back to crimping hard on V6 without taping.
V6 boulderer, 3 years climbing, Austin TX
I popped my A2 twice in two years. Started this as insurance after my last recovery. Eight months in, training V8 four days a week, zero tweaks. Best $39/month I spent.
V8 boulderer, 6 years climbing, Salt Lake City UT
Skeptical as hell when I bought this. Looked up every ingredient. Doses actually match the research, which is more than I can say for most supplements. Fingers feel more resilient after 10 weeks.
5.12a sport climber, 4 years climbing, Chattanooga TN
I train five days a week — three climbing days, two hangboard days. My fingers were always the limiting factor. Not strength, just durability. Six months on Grip + Tendon Health and I can actually sustain that volume without something flaring up every other week. My hangboard max hasn't changed, but my consistency has.
V7 boulderer, 4 years climbing, Portland OR
I'm 34 and recovery just isn't what it was at 26. Tweaks were becoming a monthly thing. I've been on this for five months now and the difference is that I'm not constantly managing some minor finger issue. I just climb. That's all I wanted.

A torn pulley will cost you more than money.
MRI SCAN
$500–$1,200 out of pocket. And that's just to confirm what you already felt pop.

GYM MEMBERSHIP YOU'RE STILL PAYING
$100+/month for a gym you can't use while you rehab at home.
8–12 WEEKS OFF THE WALL
No climbing. No projecting. No training. Just waiting.
3–6 MONTHS OF LOST PROGRESS
Plus another 3 months just to get back to where you were before the injury.

What to expect.
Tendons adapt slowly. We’re not going to pretend otherwise. Here’s a realistic timeline.
-
Month 1
Building the foundation
Your body begins receiving the cofactors it’s been missing. You probably won’t feel dramatic changes yet — tendons don’t work that fast. What’s happening: your body is restoring the micronutrient levels needed to support collagen synthesis and connective tissue repair at the cellular level.
-
Month 2
Early signals
Many climbers report less post-session soreness and stiffness in their fingers, especially on Monday mornings after hard weekend sessions. Recovery between sessions may start feeling slightly faster. These are subtle changes — not dramatic transformations.
-
Month 3
Measurable resilience
This is where most climbers notice a real difference. Fingers feel more solid on crimps. The “tweaky” feeling after hard sessions fades. Training volume feels more sustainable. You’re not constantly managing discomfort.
-
Months 4–6+
Compounding returns
Connective tissue remodeling is cumulative. The longer you maintain consistent nutritional support, the more resilient your tendons become. This is when climbers report being able to train harder and more frequently without the finger issues that used to limit them.
Have Questions?
We Have Answers.
“Isn’t this just expensive collagen?”
There’s no collagen in this product. Grip + Tendon Health provides the cofactors and micronutrients your body needs to synthesize and strengthen its own connective tissue. It’s designed to work alongside the collagen you get from diet — or from a separate collagen supplement if you take one.
“I already take collagen. Why do I need this?”
Collagen gives your body raw material. This gives your body the tools to use that material. Vitamin C for synthesis, zinc for repair, copper for cross-linking, manganese for matrix maintenance. They’re complementary, not redundant.
“$39/month is a lot for a supplement.”
It’s less than half your gym membership. Less than one PT visit. And significantly less than the cost of a finger injury — in dollars, in time off the wall, and in lost progress.
“How long before I notice anything?”
Honestly? Most climbers report noticeable differences after 6–12 weeks. Tendons adapt slowly — that’s the whole reason they’re vulnerable. This is a long-term nutritional investment, not a quick fix.
“Why capsules instead of powder?”
Compliance. Powder supplements require mixing, taste management, and timing protocols. A capsule you take with breakfast and forget about takes five seconds and happens every day. The best supplement is the one you actually take.
“My PT says supplements don’t help tendons.”
Many PTs are rightfully skeptical of the supplement industry. We’re not asking you to replace their advice. Vitamin C, zinc, copper, and manganese are well-established cofactors in connective tissue biology. The question is whether you’re getting enough of them under climbing-level training stress. For most climbers, the answer is no.
3 of Our 20+ Power Ingredients
Most supplements are built for everyone. Ours is built for you
Vitamin C
Your tendons cannot repair themselves without it. Vitamin C is the essential cofactor for collagen synthesis — every time you crimp, pull, and load your fingers on the wall, collagen breaks down. Vitamin C activates the rebuilding process so your connective tissue recovers faster and comes back stronger after every session.
Ascorbic Acid — the purest and most bioavailable form of Vitamin C at 167% daily value per serving.
Biotin
Flappers are every climber's nightmare. Biotin strengthens your skin integrity and nail toughness from the inside out — giving you tougher more resilient fingertips that hold up on rough rock and sharp edges. No more cutting sessions short because your skin gave out before your strength did.
Pure Biotin at 1000% daily value — delivering a clinical dose proven to support skin and nail strength.
Manganese
The most overlooked mineral in climbing nutrition. Manganese directly supports the formation and maintenance of tendons and cartilage — the exact connective tissue that takes the most punishment from hard climbing. Without enough manganese your tendons cannot fully rebuild between sessions no matter how much you rest.
Manganese Amino Acid Chelate — the most bioavailable form for maximum absorption and tendon support.
