Arthro Protect Forte

Arthro Protect Forte: Powerful formula for your joints with glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, MSM, calcium, vitamin D and E

The monthly supply Arthro Protect Forte consists of three components with valuable nutrients for your joints:

• 90 capsules of glucosamine with collagen (3 capsules in the morning)
• 90 capsules MSM (3 capsules spread over the day)
• 90 capsules Chondroitin Plus (3 capsules in the evening)

Studies show that the consumption of the joint nutrients glucosamine and chondroitin at different times increases bioavailability.

Excerpt from a study published by Jackson in 2006 in the Official Journal of the American College of Rheumatism (ACR): “If you now look at the combinations of glucosamine and chondroitin, which have become more and more topical in recent years, in additive effects of both components have recently been shown. Even better results can be expected if glucosamine and chondroitin are administered separately, since chondroitin reduces the absorption of glucosamine by up to 42% and thus has a negative effect.” The detailed work on this was also published in 2010 in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage on pages 297 to 302.

glucosamine and chondroitin

The articular cartilage consists of cartilage cells and a so-called matrix. This matrix consists of 50% collagen, proteoglycans and water. Proteoglycans include glucosamine and chondroitin.

Because of the usual everyday stresses, it is necessary for the cartilage to regenerate continuously. Glucosamine as a basic structural element of articular cartilage can address this process.

Chondroitin is also an important cartilage component. It is made up of repeating chains of molecules called mucopolysaccharides. In addition to the structuring of the cartilage, it is responsible for the water binding capacity and the nutrient permeability . Since cartilage contains no blood vessels that could supply it with nutrients, nutrient permeability is of particular importance. This property ensures that the cartilage is nourished on a diffusion basis and that it is supplied with all the important nutrients.

Collages

The Collagen  contained in this preparation is characterized by very interesting properties. It is a structuring component for the connective tissue, giving it elasticity, firmness and resistance to pressure and stretching. In addition, it can be found in the ligaments and tendons , which the Joints support and connect the bones to the muscles.

Hyaluronic acid: shock absorbers and lubricants

Hyaluronic acid  plays an important role in our joints. It has functions such as damping and lubrication, the supply of nutrients to the cartilage  and the removal of waste products from cell metabolism. In addition, it is indispensable for the health of the synovial fluid (synovial fluid).
You can compare the joints of the human body with the engine of a car. The hyaluronic acid in the joint roughly corresponds to the oil in the engine. This oil must be changed at regular intervals because heat, combustion residues, friction and oil aging reduce viscosity. The lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil and the less able it is to protect the metal surfaces inside the engine or to lubricate the engine. Hyaluronic acid plays the same role in our joints.

Vitamin D for strong bones

Vitamin D is required by the body as an absorption aid in order to calcium absorb. As an “installation helper” an indispensable partner for calcium, as it is involved in its absorption and storage in the bones.

Vitamin E for cell protection

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties
