Arthritis

Genacol® is extremely effective in reducing the pain and discomfort associated with Arthritis with none of the side effects of other medications.

John Klippel, Medical Director of the Arthritis Foundation, flatly stated: With millions of arthritis cases worldwide, arthritis is a greater problem than is expected. Studies and testimonies have demonstrated that a hydrolisat of collagen such as Genacol® is one of the most effective solutions.

Arthritis is a general term describing inflammation or damage of the joints. The most known forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis, which is also called degenerative joint disease and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is when a selective destruction of collagen in the joint cartilage has occurred. White blood cells attack the joint cartilage, which in turn activates the immune system to develop antibodies. These antibodies turn around and attack what they perceive to now be the enemy, i.e. "collagen". Consequently, the immune system's response is to attack all the cartilage that is degenerating in the body. So, even if there may only be a problem in one wrist or knee, both wrists hurt, both knees hurt, our back, our hips, and both shoulders feel the pain. RA usually causes pain or stiffness lasting for more than 30 minutes in the morning or after long rest and lack of activity and can occur at any age. It often begins in middle age and tends to get worse over time. Genacol® supplements the bodies collagen supplies reducing the amount of damage caused by the immunovirus and thereby reducing the damage done to the body and reducing the associated pain and discomfort.

Osteoarthritis (OA) however, is a condition of wear and tear and not an autoimmune disease such as RA. OA usually tends to occur as individuals age and in those whose joints have become worn down by excessive use. Symptoms include joint stiffness, pain and enlarged joints and unlike RA is not assymetrical in that it does not occur as part of a pair but can occur in one knee or elbow joint for example. With OA stiffness tends to get worse with use throughout the day. Genacol® is able to reduce the pain associated with Osteoarthritis by repairing the damage done to the joint and reducing the pain associated with Osteoarthritis.
