Collagen Hydrolysate+rosehip Extract
About
Collagen Hydrolysate+rosehip Extract belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat inflammation and pain in the knee and joints in conditions like osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.
Collagen Hydrolysate+rosehip Extract consists of Collagen hydrolysate and Rosehip extract. Collagen hydrolysate supports cartilage (connective tissue) regeneration, thereby strengthening the bones and improving joints' flexibility and mobility. Rosehip extract reduces symptoms of knee and hip osteoarthritis and strengthens the immune system. It contains vitamin C and eases joint inflammation, and prevents joint damage.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include past injuries, such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
