Cartilage and Joint Repair

Genacol® has amazing results in the repair of cartilage within the joint structure. With the structure of cartilage being 67% collagen, Genacol® is the most effective supplement in repairing damage done to cartilage tissue.

Cartilage is a rather firm rubber material that covers the extremities of bones in normal joints. The primary function of cartilage is to reduce joint friction and, since cartilage can change shape when compressed, serve as a shock absorber for the bones.

Collagen is a primary component of cartilage since it represents 67% of it. Hence collagen is a key component of cartilage, providing it with its strength. When the body's collagen production is reduced, cartilage production is affected and so are all the body's systems that contain cartilage.

Since cartilage does not contain nerves, in the beginning, you never feel pain when these changes occur. As collagen disease strikes as we age, this shock absorbing quality is reduced. That is why activities like running and jumping feel less comfortable as we get older.

For many years now Glucosamine has been recommended to deal with joint pain. However it has recently been shown that glucosamine only makes up 1% of the cartilage structure. Hence it can be assumed that by supplementing the body with Genacol® will provide greater improvements and pain relief than a simple glucosamine supplement.
