For joints

Preparations for joints and ligaments are an indispensable item in the arsenal of any athlete, both professional and beginner. Probably, every athlete, at least once, felt unpleasant pains in ligaments or joints. This pain often does not allow you to fully train and knocks you out of your normal training regime for quite a long time.

In order to speed up the restoration of ligaments, joints and other connective tissues, these drugs were invented. As a rule, preparations for joints and ligaments contain one of the components (or several at once): chondroitin, glucosamine, MSM.

GLUCOSAMINE is an irreplaceable building material for cartilage and ligaments. CHONDROITIN - food and protection of your cartilage and ligaments from trams. Taking glucosamine and chondroitin together or taking drugs that contain these two substances in their composition - you significantly enhance the work of each of them. Science has proven that glucosamine and chondroitin mutually enhance the effect.

Collagen consists of amino acids, intertwined with each other and forming a tough and strong connective tissue (skin, cartilage, ligaments and bones), it accounts for about a third of the total amount of proteins in animal organisms. Collagen is believed to be beneficial for the skin, intestines and joints, and is believed to have the potential to improve exercise performance.

The study also found that taking collagen supplements has positive effects on cartilage tissue and may help reduce functional knee pain. A 2016 review found that there is a significant body of both laboratory and living body studies that support collagen peptides to promote bone healing.

A separate study found that taking gelatin (with vitamin C) before exercise can improve collagen synthesis and help prevent and recover from injury. Vitamin C plays an important role in collagen synthesis in the body. It is important to note that the study was carried out both in laboratory conditions and in living organisms, while for the laboratory part of the study, cells were taken from only one participant.
