Collagen and Arthritis ~ Collagen food supplements and their role in the relief of pain from osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

     Chronic-degenerative joint disease is widespread among the population and requires particular attention. High living standards, insufficient exercise, reduced physical work and inadequate nutrition contribute to decreasing the resistivity of connective tissue, which results in degenerative disease and increased suffering.

     Osteoporosis is defined as a reduction of bone mass combined with a reduction of function. The loss occurs simultaneously with increased decomposition of bone collagen. Osteoporosis substantially reduces the quality of life of many patients due to the pain it causes. As primarily females are affected by osteoporosis, 30 % of fractures that occur among 70-year-old patients are the result of osteoporosis.

     Numerous scientific studies have shown that the regular administration of collagen can help prevent these diseases occurring; in addition, symptoms that may already be present are relieved. The latest studies have now clarified the exact way that collagen works in the human body.

What do the doctors say?

     Collagen is the decisive support tissue of skin, bone and cartilage, according to Dr. Moskowitz, from the University of Cleveland/USA. Cartilage can be compared in many ways to a car tire: the rubber provides the compression power and the nylon fibers provide the support. Cartilage, which has shock-absorbing qualities, is held together by collagen fibers. Osteoporosis (loss of bone substance) and osteoarthritis (joint wear) are now widespread diseases that affect much of the population. Since the 70s, studies have been carried out that clearly show: collagen is not only able to replace missing collagen and prevent degeneration of bone, joint and cartilage; it can also activate the formation of cartilage.
