Bones and joints are connected by cartilage. Cartilage helps cushion impacts when walking and jumping. It helps prevent wear from friction and allows joint movement. Cartilage, composed of a network of collagen fibers and proteoglycans, is the firm yet flexible tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. When cartilage wears down, bones rub together and damage can occur, which may be permanent in bones and joints. Maintaining healthy joints enhances quality of life. The most affected groups are athletes, elderly individuals with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, and those who are overweight. Over 25% of the population suffers from joint problems due to cartilage tissue wear and tear. By addressing the causes and not just the symptoms of the disease, joint mobility significantly improves, reducing pain and enhancing quality of life. HERBASOL COLLAGEN PLUS as a dietary supplement is designed to maintain joint flexibility and lubrication and promote optimal cartilage preservation, making it beneficial for cases where joint wear needs to be slowed down. It can help with meniscal injuries, which can lead to premature cartilage wear. Additionally, it improves the appearance of the skin, nails, and hair. HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN and HYALURONIC ACID The combination of Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid has a proven effect on protecting joints, maintaining their flexibility and lubrication, and promoting cartilage preservation. Collagen and hyaluronic acid are molecules found in bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, and cartilage. They can be obtained from a diet rich in collagen and hyaluronic acid from animal tissues. COLLAGEN: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, essential for bones, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, and skin firmness. - Supports natural tissue regeneration, particularly cartilage, tendons, and bones. - Helps improve joint mobility and maintain joint health. - Prevents sports injuries like tendinitis and strains and promotes recovery. - Reduces pain in elderly individuals and those who engage in physical exercise. - Enhances the appearance of the skin, nails, and hair. Amino acid composition: Glycine, Proline, Alanine, Hydroxyproline*, Glutamine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Serine, Lysine, Leucine, Valine, Threonine, Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Hydroxylysine*, Histidine, Methionine, Tyrosine. * Amino acids found only in collagen. HYALURONIC ACID Hyaluronic Acid is a Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) polysaccharide. - Naturally found in skin, cartilage, and joints. - Acts as a lubricant for cartilage and ligaments in joints, protecting against mechanical forces. - Synovial fluid in arthritic joints is less viscous and elastic than in healthy joints. - Stimulates collagen production, the main component of cartilage. Supplementing with hyaluronic acid in joints restores viscosity and elasticity, reduces pain, and improves joint mobility. SHARK CARTILAGE Shark cartilage is effective as a highly active anti-inflammatory, destroying tiny abnormal blood
