Arthroben

Medical food for the dietary management of the metabolic processes of Osteoarthritis

Arthroben’s four-pronged approach to the dietary management of osteoarthritis:

1. Reduces inflammation—balanced COX and LOX inhibition
2. Potent antioxidant protection to reduce joint degeneration
3. Reduces stiffness, increases joint mobility and function
4. Stimulates connective tissue repair

Key Actives in Arthroben®

A proprietary blend of the flavonoids baicalin and catechin that was shown to be as effective as naproxen in managing knee osteoarthritis and produced improvements in 87% of patients.

Dual Action of bioflavonoids:

1. Balanced inhibition of COX-1, COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways. This balanced down-regulation, though weaker than traditional NSAIDs and selective COX2 inhibitor drugs, is not associated with the side effects commonly seen with selective COX inhibitors.
2. Acts as a strong antioxidant to limit free radicals and oxidative damage to cartilage and other connective tissue of the joints.

FORTIGEL® & VERISOL®: Specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides® derived from a patented process of hydrolysis of type I collagen. These ingredients boost anabolic processes in connective tissues and provide building blocks for all collagen in the body.

FORTIGEL®

• 16 human clinical trials (approximately 2,800 subjects) displayed a positive effect on joint health
• Increased joint mobility
• Improved radiographic markers of cartilage health VERISOL®
• Tested in two recent human clinical studies for its effects on collagen metabolism of the skin
• Improved skin elasticity and collagen type I content

The unique combination of active ingredients in Arthroben® inhibits inflammation and oxidation, increases functional mobility, and stimulates connective tissue repair.
