Why do older people have more pain?
As we age, the foods we eat do not contain enough collagen-making nutrients to support an active lifestyle. That is why we have those aches and pains. Recent studies at Harvard Medical School proved that: Type II Chicken Cartilage works in synchronization with the immune system by providing anti-inflammatory properties that have been clinically demonstrated to decrease pain and discomfort stemming from joint disorders. Because our Collagen Peptides contain naturally occurring Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate, it reduces oxidative damage to the joints.
Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints resulting in damage to cartilage. Osteoarthritis(OA) is degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of the joint cartilage. The primary component of cartilage is Type II Collagen, a structural protein that provides strength and flexibility to the joints, muscles, tendons, and the nerves.
There are several kinds of collagen. Dr. LaMar's Collagen is Collagen Type II which is the pre-dominant form used for the treatment of articular cartilage. Collagen Peptides contains free-range Type II Chicken Collagen free of growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, insecticides and is totally Kosher. We use organic raw material derived from pure chicken sternum cartilage of young chickens. The patented process that is used by our processing protects the naturally occurring levels of Hydrolyzed collagen Type II proteins, low molecular glycosaminoglycans, including a minimum of 20% Chonodroitin Sulfate, Hylauronic Acid (HA) Glucosamine Sulfate and other proteohlycans. In other words, you get all the nutritional benefits of naturally occuring Collagen Type II. Our product is a whole food.
