Pure Encapsulations Ligament Restore Helps Maintain Healthy Tendons, Ligaments, and Joints Glucosamine is required for the synthesis of proteoglycans, the molecules responsible for providing tendons, ligaments, and cartilage their resiliency and strength. It also helps protect cartilage from the effects of mechanical stress. Sulfate, another component of proteoglycans, works synergistically with glucosamine to enhance cartilage repair and regeneration. BioCell Collagen® provides hydrolyzed and denatured low molecular weight collagen. Additionally, it provides a naturally occurring blend of hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate, and amino acids to promote cartilage synthesis and joint integrity.

Storage: Refrigerate after opening. More Info. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 16 individuals supplementing with BioCell Collagen® for eight weeks indicated statistically significant support for joint function and comfort. To further encourage collagen formation, this formula is enhanced with l-lysine and l-proline. These amino acids are hydroxylated to form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in a reaction involving vitamin C, forming the “glue” that holds collagen together. In the body, silica is found primarily in connective tissue and plays a role in collagen tissue formation. Devil’s claw and curcumin are included to support joint flexibility, function, and comfort, in part by maintaining healthy eicosanoid metabolism.5 Glucosamine sulfate is derived from crab and shrimp Hydrolyzed collagen complex is derived from chicken sternal cartilage and typically provides 60% hydrolyzed collagen, 20% chondroitin sulfate, and 10% hyaluronic acid l-proline and l-lysine are derived from fermentation Ascorbic acid is derived from corn dextrose fermentation Silica is from bamboo extract, which is derived from the stem of the botanical Bambusa vulgaris Curcumin (turmeric) is derived from Curcuma longa and standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids Devil’s claw is derived from Harpagophytum procumbens and standardized to contain 5% harpagosides Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil Hypoallergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose
