Therapeutic Category

Dietary supplement for supporting musculoskeletal function

Properties

A biologically active food supplement – a source of curcumin, hyaluronic acid, boswellic acid, and piperine.

The product contains collagen.

The effects of use are due to the substances included in its composition.

Hydrolyzed collagen is the basis of the body’s connective tissue (tendons, bones, cartilage, skin) and provides its strength and elasticity. Collagen helps maintain the proper structure of bone tissue, strengthens joints, increases ligament strength, and also improves the structure of the skin and nails.

Sodium hyaluronate (sodium salt of hyaluronic acid) is found in body tissues such as synovial (intra-articular) fluid, intraocular fluid, and interstitial fluid. It is an important component of synovial fluid, determining its viscoelastic properties, acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between articular surfaces. It is part of the cartilage, where it performs a “shock-absorbing” function, supporting the resistance of cartilage tissue to compression. It forms a covering layer on the entire inner surface of the joints, which protects the articular cartilage and synovial membrane from mechanical damage, as well as from free radicals and inflammatory factors. It stimulates collagen formation.

Curcumin, obtained from turmeric rhizome (Curcuma), has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, blocks the activity of collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase, which destroy musculoskeletal tissues, and is used to support bone and joint health and prevent their degeneration.

Boswellia serrata contains terpene β-boswellic acids, which have low toxicity and pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. The anti-inflammatory effect of Boswellia serrata resin is due to the inhibition of leukotriene synthesis and 5-lipoxygenase, as well as human leukocyte elastase. It is used in traditional Indian medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent for inflammatory joint diseases. It improves mobility and promotes the restoration of joint functionality.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used in traditional Indian medicine as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antispasmodic agent. It enhances the absorption of curcumin and other biologically active substances in the intestine.

Effect on the body

Cartilox helps maintain the resilience and elasticity of the musculoskeletal system and prevent damage to large and small joints and the spine from impact loads; provides the body with amino acids that contribute to the formation of mature, load-resistant, elastic and resilient connective tissue; activates intertissue, intercellular, and intracellular exchange of endogenous and exogenous biologically active substances.

Cartilox improves the general condition of joints and their mobility; promotes the restoration of cartilage tissue, reduction of inflammation and pain in the joints; increases the elasticity of muscles and tendons; reduces the feeling of discomfort and tension in the spine and joints; reduces painful sensations in joint diseases; increases joint resistance to stress; slows down the development of age-related changes in joint tissues; helps improve the condition of the skin, hair, nails, increases skin tone and elasticity.
