Joint Health
There is a broad array of joint health ingredients for dietary supplements in the natural health and pharmaceutical market. Few ingredients can offer the history of supporting research offered by Greenshell Mussel Powder or chondroitin sulphate. Waitaki Biosciences offers a range of high quality joint health natural ingredients to meet the requirements of the most discerning supplement manufacturer or marketer. Waitaki ingredients provide the backbone of a number of human and animal joint health supplements in markets around the world.
A combined total of over 50 years of research have contributed to the range of joint health products developed by Waitaki Biosciences. This explains the confidence customers place in the quality and efficacy Waitaki joint health ingredients.
Greenshell Mussel Powder has been studied and continues to be studied extensively around the world. Waitaki Greenshell Mussel Powder has been used in both New Zealand and international trials to demonstrate time and again the positive effect it has on inflammation. Furthermore Waitaki is continuing to develop applications to quantify the efficacy of our Greenshell Mussel Powder. This information is available to all regular customers.
Chondroitin is one of the best known joint health ingredients around the world. Numerous trials have been conducted and it is expected that in 2005 another major trial conducted by the National Institute of Health in the United States will further increase our understanding of the benefits of this ingredient.
Waitaki's natural chondroitin, being a natural non-extracted ingredient also, contains type II collagen. Type II collagen is well recognised for its joint protective and has been the subject of numerous trials identifying its activity. Type II collagen forms the structural matrix within which protoeglycan molecules, such as chondroitin sulphate, which act as the joints "lubricant" , are housed. Type II collagen has also been shown to suppress the auto immune effects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
It has been identified that many people with arthritis have severe calcium deficiencies. To address this situation a bone calcium supplement that delivers an effective dose of calcium to the user is vital. MCH-Cal™ is shown to be a genuinely bioavailable calcium supplement for bone health and the delivery of calcium.
Shark cartilage powder also continues to form the basis of joint health ingredients in a number of markets.
Our latest joint health ingredient is a marine collagen blend which contains amino acids and proteins associated with good joint tissue condition.
