ARTHROBEN Lemon Lime Powder Designs for Health

Arthroben Designs for Health

Arthroben is a delicious tasting, highly absorbable powder designed to support healthy connective tissue and joint mobility. This formula is recommended for those experiencing joint and connective tissue problems associated with aging, athletics, overuse or other physical activity. Arthroben supplies the patented collagen peptides Fortigel® and Verisol®, as well as a proprietary blend of flavonoids to support a healthy and balanced inflammatory response and serve as powerful antioxidants to help protect connective tissue damage from oxidative free radicals. Arthroben contains no artificial sweeteners, mixes easily in water and is available lemon-lime flavour.

Ingredients

Collagen Peptides
Arthroben features Fortigel® and Verisol®, two varieties of hydrolyzed collagen proteins derived from a patented process of hydrolysis of type I collagen, the main component of tendons, ligaments and cartilage in joints and intervertebral discs. Collagen peptides boost pathways that build and repair connective tissues, while simultaneously downregulating activity of enzymes that break down connective tissue. Additionally, they help maintain tissue hydration. These functions support adequate volume of cartilage and the elastic properties of
connective tissues which helps maintain healthy joints, ligaments and skin. Collagen accounts for as much as 30–40% of the body’s total protein, especially connective tissue. As a percentage of total protein content, collagen accounts for 75% ligament dry weight, 86% of tendon dry weight, 60% of the dry weight of cartilage, and 90% of the organic matrix of bone.2-5 The amino acid and peptide compositions of dietary collagens are very similar to those in human collagens, making dietary collagen peptides ideal for supporting body collagen turnover and renewal. Compared to other proteins, collagen has a unique amino acid composition and a distinct role in human anatomy.
Collagen peptides are rich in the modified amino acid hydroxyproline (which accounts for approximately 12% of the amino acids in collagen), and they have an unusually high content of glycine and proline (around 22% and 13%, respectively). Any complete protein can provide these building blocks for collagen, but ingesting collagen itself ensures a pool of these critical raw materials. Collagen is a more concentrated source of these, especially hydroxyproline, and as such, it may be a more effective choice when the goal is related to collagen as a structural protein, such as in supporting repair and maintenance of cartilage, tendons and ligaments. A review looking at collagen hydrolysate for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) and other joint disorders determined that collagen ingestion stimulates a significant increase in the synthesis of joint extracellular matrix macromolecules by chondrocytes, and results in improvements in pain and function in those with osteoarthritis. Many individuals—the elderly in particular, who may be at higher risk for joint deterioration—do not consume
adequate protein.7,8 Even among those with a higher protein intake, unless nose-to-tail eating is emphasized, the richest sources of collagen—animal skins, bones, and tendons—are not typically part of the modern Western diet. Collagen powder can be incorporated into shakes, smoothies, and other foods and beverages, providing a convenient way to increase intake of these special amino acids for those who may benefit, such as athletes, aging individuals, and those recovering from injury. Among subjects with primary osteoarthritis of the knee, collagen supplementation for six months led to a significant improvement in knee joint comfort, and it’s worth noting that
those with the greatest joint deterioration and who had the lowest habitual meat protein intake benefited most.
