Burgerstein ProCollagen Capsules, 90 ST

Burgerstein ProCollagen offers a natural combination of nutrients comprising eggshell membrane, vitamin C and manganese. This supports normal collagen formation for healthy cartilage and joint function.

Stay beautifully supple.

Eggshell membrane, a source of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine, supplemented with: vitamin C for normal collagen formation and manganese, which contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue.

Collagen metabolism is a natural process in which the body continuously builds up and breaks down collagen-containing structures. With increasing age, the composition and structure of skin and connective tissue may change as part of biological processes.

• Collagen (types I, V and X) & chondroitin sulphate
• Glucosamine & hyaluronic acid
• Dermatan sulphate & keratan sulphate
• Lysozyme & desmosine
• Isodesmosine (amino acids for elastin)
• Methionine and cysteine (sulphur-containing amino acids)

Joint problems – sooner or later, they affect everyone

Sooner or later, everyone experiences joint discomfort. However, this does not necessarily indicate a serious or chronic condition. Joint pain can, for example, be triggered by flu-like infections. Once the illness has run its course, the pain disappears too.

Joint inflammation or joint wear and tear, on the other hand, are more long-term conditions – arthritis and osteoarthritis are the two most common causes of joint problems. Whilst in osteoarthritis, wear and tear leads to pain and restricted movement, arthritis is also characterised by swelling and redness in the affected joint. In such conditions, the joint cartilage – which acts as a cushion between the bones – wears away. Once the cartilage is destroyed, the bones rub against one another, causing the typical joint pain.

Incidentally, joint problems are not just a matter of age. Even young people can experience signs of wear and tear and struggle with chronic inflammation. This is usually due to a genetic predisposition to rheumatic conditions or to incorrect use or overuse of the joints.

Joints rely on nutrients from food to stay healthy. This is because a deficiency in vitamins, minerals and trace elements leads to the breakdown of joint cartilage. So, if you want to avoid joint problems, you should ensure you follow a healthy and balanced diet.
