What is Biocell Collagen II™?
BioCell Collagen II™ is a 100% natural dietary ingredient. Nutritionists
are calling it a new generation of "super ingredients". BioCell
Collagen II™ has helped an increasing number of arthritis sufferers'
to improve the quality of their lives. A subjective pain relief study
demonstrated that almost 90% of the people surveyed reported benefiting
by the use of BioCell Collagen II™ in a short period of time. BioCell
Collagen II™ is so profoundly effective that it's been granted a
United States Patent # 6,025,327 for the treatment of connective tissue
disorder, osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, joint defects, vascular
disease, and cartilage injuries.
What are the critical nutritional elements found in BioCell Collagen II™?
Independent laboratory analysis shows that BioCell Collagen II™
naturally contains Type II Collagen Proteins (60-65%), Chondroitin Sulfate
(20%), Hyaluronic Acid (10%), Glucosamine and other Proteoglycans. Each
of these is found throughout the body and are required elements for healthy
connective tissue (joints, skin, cardiovascular etc.).
1000 milligrams of BioCell Collagen II™ will supply the body with
300 milligrams of collagen type II protein (amino acids), 100 milligrams
of Chondroitin, 100 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid, along with other nutritional
elements such as Glucosamine.
Is
BioCell Collagen II™ similar to Glucosamine?
Yes, in the sense that both are involved in helping the body maintain
healthy joints, but as noted above BioCell Collagen II™ is actually
a concentration of many elements including Glucosamine. If we consume
only single elements involved in the complex process of keeping our joints
and other connective tissue healthy we might only expect partial effectiveness.
BioCell Collagen II with its full-spectrum of essential elements provides
broader nutritional support, for overall joint, and connective tissue
health.
Who
should include BioCell Collagen II™ as part of a health maintenance
program?
Everyone can benefit from taking BioCell Collagen II™ Diet, age,
stress, digestive system and physical activity (sports which impact the
joints) all affect our ability to provide the body with the nutritional
raw materials it requires to properly support joint and connective tissue
health. BioCell Collagen II should be an essential nutritional component
for those wanting to remain healthy and active throughout their life.
Can
I combine BioCell Collagen II™ with other nutritional supplements
such as MSM, Chondroitin and Glucosamine?
Yes. Remember the strength of BioCell Collagen II™ is not that it
supplies a large amount of one particular nutrient. Its strength is in
the fact that it supplies a concentrated matrix of nutrients that may
provide more broad-based nutritional support. By combining it with more
specific elements such as the ones noted above you may actually receive
greater nutritional support.
Is
BioCell Collagen II™ safe?
Yes, as stated earlier BioCell Collagen II™ is a natural dietary
ingredient. It and the elements that make-up its complex structure have
a long history of use and safety as dietary ingredients. An independent
toxicity study also showed BioCell Collagen II™ to be safe even
at extremely high dosages.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin
helps bond connective tissue to prevent tearing, and inhibits enzymes
that can deplete cartilage nutrition. Chondroitin helps retain moisture
in the joints, allowing for flexibility and resiliency, and cushioning
against activities like jumping and lifting. In addition, Chondroitin
works with other nutrients like Glucosamine to stimulate the rebuilding
and maintenance of cartilage. The body produces Chondroitin, but that
production decreases as we grow older. Chondroitin is found in foods,
but usually only in small amounts. Fortunately, the body absorbs Chondroitin
well, making supplementation a viable alternative.
Glucosamine
Sulfate
Glucosamine is a natural product that has been shown to be extremely beneficial
for arthritis and joint pain. Glucosamine stimulates cartilage cells to
synthesize glucosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, which are responsible
for maintaining your body’s joints. Proteoglycans are a mesh-like
tissue that permits cartilage to flex and absorb physical shock. Glucosamine
appears to also inhibit the production of Chondrocytes, enzymes that break
down and destroy cartilage. For over 20 years, Glucosamine has been clinically
proven to slow the progression of osteoarthritis, ease the pain of osteoarthritis
and joint pain, rejuvenate the synovial fluid and promote healthy and
flexible joints.
MSM
Dr. Stanley Jacobs, M.D. Director of the DMSO Clinic and Professor of
Surgery at Oregon Health Sciences University, has conducted clinical studies
on MSM dietary supplements and used it with his patients for over 20 years
and has documented his findings in the book entitled "The Miracle
of MSM". In the book Dr. Stanley Jacobs lists MSM's most significant
actions to be: an analgesic (pain controller), MSM supplements aid in
the relief of inflammation, MSM passes through cellular membranes of the
body, including the skin, MSM dilates blood vessels and increases blood
flow, MSM blocks the action of cholinesterase, thereby helping to restore
normal bowel activity, MSM dietary supplements reduce muscle spasms, MSM
alters the cross linking process in collagen, therefore reducing scar
tissue, MSM has anti parasitic properties (particularly for giardia),
and MSM has an immune normalizing effect, as observed in some autoimmune
diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. One of
the essential components in all life forms, sulfur is involved in amino
acid production, connective tissue, skin, hair, nails, (in animals, hide
and hooves), enzymes, hormones, and immunoglobulins. Dr. Jacobs lists
the following as the most frequent applications of degenerative wear-and-tear
arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic back pain, Chronic headaches,
Muscle pain, Fibromyalgia, Tendonitis and bursitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,
TMJ problems, Post-traumatic pain and inflammation, and Heartburn.
