Joinflex-40 (Native Type II Collagen)

Therapeutic Group : Herbal

Presentation:

Joinflex-40 Capsule: Each capsule contains Native Type 2 Collagen 40 mg.

Pharmacology:

Native Type II Collagen molecules contain active binding sites called epitopes which trigger the process of oral tolerization. Through oral tolerization process, active epitopes of Native Type II Collagen interact with Peyer’s patches (lymphoid tissue) of small intestine to release collagen-specific regulatory T-cells. Collagen-specific regulatory T-cells then migrate to joint areas and prevent release of T-cells. Preventing the release of T-cells prevent the secretion of collagenase enzymes by macrophages responsible for breakdown of collagen in joint cartilage. It also stops the production of inflammatory cytokines resulting in reduction of inflammation, halting the erosion of joint cartilage and promote cartilage rebuilding. Native Type II Collagen supports joint function, mobility and flexibility and also improves knee extension by up to 10% for better range of motion. It also relieves joint pain due to strenuous exercise.
