It seems more than apparent that hydrolysed collagen has many beneficial properties as far as treatment of inflammatory conditions (arthrosis) is concerned.

The mode by which it works is yet unclear though research is still ongoing. However there are two major theories on how this treatment may work, there is no experimental evidence as such to conclusively support the theories although research is ongoing.

The first theory is simple substitution of the amino acids required to make collagen (Adam 1991). The presence of these amino acids enables the body to synthesize collagen which, as is well documented, is the major structural constituent in most tissues in the body, especially cartilage.

Such supplementation may enable the body to replace damaged cartilage. The second slightly more complicated theory is based on an idea known as ORAL TOLERANCE. Here the peptides given to the body orally attract the auto-immune response as seen in rheumatoid arthritis away from the body tissue itself, preventing any further damage. Though both ideas seem theoretically sound further experimentation must be carried out in order to provide conclusive evidence.

However, with present medication and prescriptions being limited to analgesics (pain killers), anti-inflammatories and steroids all of which are known not only to have no effect on the disorder but also may produce a multitude of  undesirable side effects,.

The daily intake of natural hydrolysed collagen, therefore, provides a healthy option.

Not only has it been proven to alleviate the symptoms but it is also apparent that there are no known side effects.
