Verifiable Science

Glucosamine is required for the synthesis of proteoglycans, the molecules responsible for providing tendons, ligaments, and cartilage their resiliency and strength.¹ It also helps protect cartilage from the effects of mechanical stress. Sulfate, another component of proteoglycans, works synergistically with glucosamine to enhance cartilage repair and regeneration.² BioCell Collagen^® provides hydrolyzed and denatured low molecular weight collagen. Additionally, it provides a naturally occurring blend of hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate and amino acids to promote cartilage synthesis and joint integrity.³ A double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 16 individuals supplementing with BioCell Collagen^® for eight weeks indicated statistically significant support for joint function and comfort.⁴ To further encourage collagen formation, this formula is enhanced with l-lysine and l-proline. These amino acids are hydroxylated to form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in a reaction involving vitamin C, forming the “glue” that holds collagen together. In the body, silica is found primarily in connective tissue and plays a role in collagen tissue formation. Devil’s claw and curcumin are included to support joint flexibility, function and comfort, in part by maintaining healthy eicosanoid metabolism.⁵
