Collagen is one of the most important building blocks for your body’s tissues and it is found everywhere in you!
The word collagen itself, is derived from the Greek word for “glue”. This really could not be more appropriate. Collagen is, literally, the stuff that holds you together.
There are twenty-eight different types of collagen in your body, but Types I & III are by far the most abundant – accounting for over 90% of your collagen. [1]
Type I & III collagen provide structural support to your skin, teeth, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, blood vessels and internal organs.
There’s been a ton of research into collagen. Among other things, studies on Types I & III have shown:
Types I & III collagen also help to physically strengthen your joints and connective tissues. A study from 2018 showed that supplemental collagen increases both the density and tensile strength of ligaments.
And low levels of type III collagen specifically are considered to be an early warning indicator for osteoarthritis!
Eggshell membrane is the thin, clear film that separates the hard calcified eggshell from the egg white. Although this membrane flimsy and delicate, it’s actually extremely strong and jam-packed with nutrients.
Eggshell membrane is a natural, whole-food source of hyaluronic acid, elastin, glucosamine and chondroitin. In addition to that, it’s the only known source of Type V and Type X collagen.
Multiple studies on Eggshell Membrane have demonstrated its ability to:
Furthermore, there’s research on Eggshell Membrane showing this substance has a significant chondroprotective effect in the body. In one study, subjects supplementing with 500mg of Eggshell Membrane showed a 17% reduction in CTX-II. [14]
CTX-II is one of the most frequently assessed biomarkers for osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis – it gives an indication of how much cartilage degradation is occurring inside the body.
One of the best things about Eggshell Membrane is how fast-acting this substance is. In a study from 2015, the subjects experienced over a 20% reduction in back pain after just 5 days of taking this supplement. [17]
The same study found that subjects taking Eggshell Membrane had significant improvements in flexibility and were able to perform a lot more physical activity. [18]
Studies consistently show that this substance produces rapid results in the real-world applications that matter most!
Type II Collagen doesn’t get anywhere near the amount of attention that other types of collagen get but don’t let that fool you!
This specific type of collagen is one of the main structural constituents of your body’s cartilage. In fact, Type II Collagen makes up about half of all the protein found in your cartilage. [19]
Research has demonstrated not only that Hydrolyzed Collagen taken orally is absorbed in the intestines, but that it actually stimulates the body’s own chondrocytes to produce more Type II Collagen [20,21]
Some scientists have suggested that Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen may the ability to repair or even regenerate deteriorating and broken down collagen in the body. [22]
Supplemental Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen has been shown to:
Type II Collagen is absolutely crucial for optimal joint health!
Methylsulfonylmethane or MSM for short, has a unique ability to pass into cells and thus to alter what’s going at the cellular and tissue levels. MSM also acts as a “carrier” for other therapeutic agents, which is one of the main reasons MSM had to be included in Joint Rebuilder™. [25]
Multiple studies have demonstrated that MSM has powerful anti-inflammatory effects in the body. It dampens cytokine expression & has been shown to:
MSM really shines when it comes to functionality, it has repeated shown that it can produce transformative results in people’s ability to move freely, stand up, walk and perform the activities you need to do to operate your day. [33,34,35,36,37]
When you’re able to do all these things with ease, it naturally translates into improved quality of life and an enhanced sense of wellbeing.
Chondroitin is a natural substance that’s found in your body’s cartilage and connective tissue. Like hyaluronic acid, it helps these highly moveable tissues retain water to ensure elasticity and smooth motion.
Chondroitin sulfate has been the subject of three very large-scale and extensive reviews, most recently in 2018. All of these studies are in 100% agreement that chondroitin :
In addition to improving functionality and decreasing pain, even in people with long-standing pain, chondroitin has another big benefit. Multiple long-term studies have demonstrated that chondroitin may actually halt the progression of degenerative joint disease. As such, it has been classified as a Disease Modifying Osteoarthritis Drug (DMOAD). [42,43,44]
Long-term studies have utilized x-ray to measure the progression of osteoarthritis over years while being treated with chondroitin. In one of these, researchers discovered that taking chondroitin resulted in 32% less joint space narrowing than placebo. [41] While in two other studies, the group taking chondroitin experienced no loss of joint space whatsoever in 2 full years! [42,44]
Reductions in pain are always welcome, but the potential chondroitin has to put a stop to degeneration and help preserve your joints for a lifetime is what makes it so interesting and why it had to be included in Joint Rebuilder™.
Boron’s ability to reduce pain and improve mobility in people suffering from arthritis & advanced joint degeneration is wildly impressive. So much so, that I’m shocked that Boron is not a household name.
The joint rigidity that is so often associated osteoarthritis seems to melt away under the influence of boron.
In 3 different studies on osteoarthritis, the average reduction in rigidity was 50% in the first 4 weeks alone!
While some studies on boron have demonstrated results in as little as 2 weeks [47], the heavy-duty benefits really seem to kick in after a month or two. One study on mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis showed that by the 8th week all subjects were completely free of rigidity. [45]
After 8 weeks of treatment, as much as 75% of subjects in these studies were able to stop taking NSAIDs altogether! [45]
If we shift our focus to prevention, the data on boron is just as impressive – A 2007 study looked at boron intake and the prevalence of osteoarthritis around the world. They found the the incidence of arthritis in areas with low boron intake (1mg) was 20-70%; while in areas with higher boron intake (3-10mg) the incidence was only 0-10%. [46] Adding boron to the Movement Essentials™ formula was a no brainer.
When you think of vitamin C deficiency, you typically think of scurvy. But lack of vitamin C has also been directly linked to arthritis / rheumatism. [48]
In fact, research has shown the the vitamin C status of people with rheumatoid arthritis is over 50% lower than healthy controls. [49]
It’s not surprising to learn that high dose vitamin C has been shown to completely eliminate pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. [50]
Multiple studies have demonstrated absolutely massive reductions in the incidence of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in people receiving vitamin C. [51,52,53,54]
Studies have demonstrated that vitamin C supplementation can:
Researchers studying vitamin C as a treatment option for people with pain have observed huge reductions in opioid consumption and way less opioids means way less of the side effects that comes from taking these highly addictive drugs. [55] With a list of benefits like that, there was no way we could round out Joint Rebuilder™ without including a high-quality, non-GMO vitamin C.
Glucosamine is a naturally-occurring sugar molecule found in the synovial fluid that surrounds your joints. Its’ main job is to preserve the integrity and health of your cartilage. [58]
The problem is that with age, the level of glucosamine inside your joints diminishes – this seems to open the door for joint degeneration.
Studies on glucosamine sulfate supplementation have demonstrated that it can:
While glucosamine has plenty to offer in the way of short-term advantages, it’s the long-term benefits and this compound’s ability to defend cartilage & preserve joint tissue over time where glucosamine really shines.
There’s a body of research demonstrating glucosamine’s anti-inflammatory affects in the body. Among other things, these studies have shown its’ ability to significantly reduce bio-markers (CRP, PGE, TNFα, IL-1) that are directly linked to both inflammation and the degradation of joint tissue.[63,64]
