Collagen Type II

Scientific studies show that Collagen Type II is found to be the predominant type of collagen in the human articular cartilage. It makes up 50% of all the proteins in our cartilage and 85-90% of collagen in our articular cartilage.

Studies show that Collagen Type II has multiple protective benefits to our joint. It helps to:

1. Resist cartilage protein digesting enzymes

2. Reprogram destructive chondrocytes to lessen inflammation

3. Promote new cartilage and proteoglycan synthesis

4. Enhance the production of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), producing a thick, effective & lubricating synovial fluid that protects and cushions joints

5. Protect the surface of cartilage from oxidative (free radical) damage and enzymatic digestion

6. Act as a powerful anti-inflammatory/pain modulators.

In fact, Collagen Type II has been clinically proven to support healthy joint function and is found to be more effective than taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin alone.

BosPure® 

BosPure® Boswellia (Boswellia Serrata, AKBA) is a patented Boswellia formula with one of nature’s oldest and most powerful bioactive compound. It has been known to inhibit collagen degradation, reduce joint swelling, inflammation, and relieve pain due to stiffness in the joints. Clinical studies show that it is able to improve mobility in 7 days. 

MSM 

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural form of organic sulfur found within the body. It supports flexibility and strength in connective tissues and cell membranes. MSM has been widely used for the relief of inflammation, stiffness and swelling from arthritis. Studies show that MSM is effective in fighting against Osteoarthritis and other joint conditions because of its high sulfur content. 

Glucosamine Sulphate 

Glucosamine Sulphate is a compound found naturally in the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. It acts as a lubricant, and keeps the joints moving smoothly. Taking Glucosamine Sulphate daily helps to repair damaged cartilage by replenishing the body’s supply of Glucosamine. 

Chondroitin Sulphate 

Chondroitin Sulphate provides the structural components of joint cartilage and facilitates the entry of Glucosamine into joints. It helps to keep our cartilage healthy by absorbing fluid into the connective tissue and promoting elasticity in cartilage. Scientific studies also suggest that Chondroitin Sulphate may be an effective treatment for Osteoarthritis. 

Hyaluronic Acid 

Hyaluronic Acid is a gel-like substance found in every tissue of the body with the highest concentration in connective tissues such as skin and cartilage. It works by acting as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints to help the joints function effectively. 

Vitamin C 

Vitamin C is essential in the formation of cartilage, collagen and joint tissue. It is also a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect the cartilages from harmful free radicals. 

Vitamin D 

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium to keep bones strong and healthy. 

Bio-2 

Bio-2 is a Piperine extract formula that can help increase the bio-availability and absorption of Boswellia Serrata and other nutrients. 

How soon will I be able to observe improvements in my joint health?
You may start seeing results in joint comfort and mobility in a week. However, results may vary for each individual. You are advised to take StrongJoint™ consecutively for at least 4-6 weeks to achieve the best results.

Will the long term consumption of StrongJoint™ result in any side effects?
No known side effect has been observed. All ingredients in StrongJoint™ are tested and approved to ensure safety, purity and efficacy. It is therefore safe for long term consumption with the recommended dosage.

Can I take StrongJoint™ with my prescribed medicine?
StrongJoint™ is a supplement formulated to supply important nutrients that are not always easily obtainable in sufficient amounts from diets. However, we would recommend you to consult your health care practitioner concerning drug interactions if you are taking any medication.
