*Peptide and amino acid complex based on hydrolyzed collagen.
Hydrolyzed collagen * (bovine hide): As scientific studies have shown, it is essential that collagen be hydrolyzed (i.e., broken down into smaller molecules/enzymatic digestion) because only the hydrolyzed form of collagen can stimulate neosynthesis of the collagen matrix in cartilage tissue.
L-Lysine: essential in the formation of collagen and collagen fibrils that integrate into the connective tissue matrix.
Glucosamine sulfate (crabs, shrimp): chemical compound present in synovial fluid (around the joint) which exerts a protective effect against cartilage deterioration.
Chondroitin sulfate (trachea): compound used in the neo-synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, essential components of cartilage and intervertebral discs.
Hyaluronic acid: GAGs, which are associated with collagen in all connective tissues and especially cartilage, contribute to structure and hydration.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): known as a powerful anti-inflammatory, it is also an organic source of sulfur for all cartilage and connective tissue molecules that require an adequate supply of sulfur, such as certain amino acids (methionine, serine, threonine...) and many glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
Vitamin C: stimulates the synthesis of endogenous collagen in all body tissues and contributes to its structural stability.
Zinc: acts as a cofactor in collagen synthesis and repair.
Copper: acts as a cofactor in collagen synthesis and in the production of fibrils.
Maritime pine bark extract: provides strong antioxidant activity and helps maintain the integrity of collagen fibrils.
White willow bark: botanical extract, analgesic and anti-inflammatory containing a high level of salicin (natural aspirin) which also acts on back pain.
Devil's claw: a powerful botanical extract and anti-inflammatory that acts on inflammation of the connective tissues surrounding the joints. Also helps treat back pain.
Curcumin: a pigment found in turmeric, it possesses strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps preserve the integrity of the collagen matrix.
