Because you deserve it.
Few creatures have a better knack for getting
comfortable and finding the perfect cushion to
curl up on than our feline friends. Wouldn’t it
be nice if our joints could maintain that same
knack. The problem is, as we age, our body’s sup-
pleness, elasticity and ability to heal diminish.
The Importance of Hyaluronic Acid
●
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a long chain molecule
that consists of alternating units of glucosamine
and glucuronic acid, can absorb up to 3,000 times
its weight in water and is an important hydrat-
ing agent for tissue.
●
Found in virtually all tissues of the body,
especially in synovial (joint) fluid, the eyes’ vitre-
ous fluid and in skin, HA plays a crucial role in
maintaining joint function.
●
It is also a free radical scavenger and
antioxidant, and may help protect the skin from
the detrimental effects of excessive exposure to
sunlight.
●
HA is critically involved in healthy wound
healing, and stimulates DNA synthesis and
fibroblast cell division, both of which are
essential for healthy skin and cartilage.
●
BioCell Collagen II
®
is a purified, hydrolyzed
(partially digested) type II collagen supplement.
This product provides at least 10% by weight of
a low molecular weight HA, which is highly
absorbable. In contrast, ‘native’ collagen, which
isn’t hydrolyzed, also provides HA, but in the form
of large molecules that may hinder its absorption.
●
Type II collagen (the collagen that makes up
moveable joints) provides a high level (typically
20%) of chondroitin sulfate (CS). CS is a gly-
cosaminoglycan (GAG) that helps form the con-
nective tissue of skin, tendons, cartilage, liga-
ments and bone matrix. CS also inhibits enzymes
such as collagenase, elastase and proteoglycanase
that become overactive in joint degeneration
and skin aging, thereby promoting healthy car-
tilage and connective tissue.
●
Together, the components of hydrolyzed type
II collagen enable the production of a thick,
lubricating synovial fluid that cushions joints and
protects the surface of cartilage from free radi-
cal and enzymatic degradation.
The Benefits of Curcumin Phytosome
Curcumin Phytosome featuring Meriva
®
uses
patented Phytosome technology to dramatically
improve the curcumins’ absorption and unleash
their total health potential.
●
Curcumins formed into phytosomes with phos-
phatidylcholine (PC) disperse almost completely
in water and, when taken by mouth, are far bet-
ter absorbed into the blood than conventional
curcumin supplements.
●
The curcumin-PC phytosome combination pro-
tects curcumins against premature molecular
breakdown. This enhances Curcumin Phytosomes’
ability to promote healthy function of joints and
other organs, and support management of C-
reactive protein, a bloodborne health indicator.
●
Curcuma longa
root, the special extract from
which curcumin is made, contains active plant
substances called curcuminoids.
●
Curcumin Phytosome supplies 96% minimum
total curcuminoids.
●
Protects cells and tissues from chemical expo-
sure and toxins.
●
Preserves the structure of collagen-containing
tissues and fights free radicals.
●
Supports body processes that maintain nor-
mal tissue comfort.
●
Supports normal immune responses.
