Collagen is a structural protein that is sometimes referred to as the “glue” that ties our bodies together. Collagen hydrolysate is a type of collagen that has been hydrolyzed, resulting in smaller, more easily absorbable peptides. Collagen contains a high concentration of amino acids, particularly glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These amino acids are essential for keeping healthy skin, hair, and joints . 

Extensive research highlights the benefits of collagen supplementation, from promoting skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles to supporting joint health and muscle mass.It has been established that hydrolyzed collagen contains physiologically active peptides capable of reaching joint tissues and exerting chondroprotective actions.

Glucosamine is a building block for articular cartilage’s extracellular matrix, used to produce GAGs and proteoglycans. Glucosamine sulfate is proposed to be a safe and effective treatment of osteoarthritis, as it plays a part in the repair and maintenance of joint cartilage, stimulating cartilage cells to produce GAGs and proteoglycans. 

Glucosamine is a medication that enhances cartilage matrix production in chondrocyte culture, increases hyaluronic acid production, and prevents collagen degeneration by inhibiting lipoxidation reactions and protein oxidation. It also inhibits MMPs and aggrecanases, the predominant cleavage enzymes in cartilage. Long-term treatment with glucosamine can reduce pain, improve joint function, reduce OA progression, and reduce the risk of total joint replacement.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring organosulfur compound used as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It has been extensively studied for its unique biological properties, including membrane penetrability, antioxidant capabilities, anti-inflammatory effects, anticholinesterase activity, and ability to induce histamine release from mast cells. MSM has been shown to have various anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. MSM is also considered an effective agent against muscle soreness associated with exercise.

Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, is a resin extracted from the Boswellia serrata tree, revered in traditional medicine for centuries. The resin is obtained from the bark of the Boswellia serrata tree, found predominantly in India. Boswellic acids, known for their efficacy in reducing inflammation and supporting joint health. 

Scientific investigations have delved into boswellia’s potential in managing inflammatory conditions, particularly in individuals dealing with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. 

Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric, a spice celebrated for its culinary and medicinal uses. Curcumin is a polyphenol with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcuminoids, including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. 

Extensive research supports curcumin’s role in managing inflammatory conditions, reducing oxidative stress, and contributing to brain health. 

Ginger, a flowering plant valued for both its culinary and medicinal properties, has a long history of use. Gingerol, which has been studied for its effectiveness in reducing muscle pain, joint stiffness, and even menstrual discomfort. 

Research indicates that ginger’s anti-inflammatory compounds, such as gingerol, may alleviate joint pain and stiffness, enhancing mobility. Its potent antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, potentially slowing aging-related skin damage. 

Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb with a rich history in Ayurvedic medicine. Withanolides, the active compounds in ashwagandha, contribute to its adaptogenic properties. 

Research indicates that ashwagandha may help reduce stress and anxiety, support thyroid function, and enhance cognitive function, also studied for their stress-relieving and immune-modulating effects. 

Rosehip, the fruit of the wild rose plant, has been a staple in traditional medicine for centuries. Vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds contribute to rosehip’s therapeutic properties. Research indicates that rosehip may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, making it beneficial for joint health and immune support.
