Joint Health
Waitaki Biosciences offers a range of high quality, natural joint health 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.
Few ingredients can offer the history of supporting research offered by Greenshell Mussel Powder or Chondroitin Sulphate. Greenshell Mussel Powder has been studied extensively around the world. Waitaki Greenshell Mussel Powder has been used in both New Zealand and international trials to demonstrate the positive effect it has on inflammation.
Chondroitin is one of the worlds best known joint health ingredients. Waitaki's range of natural collagen and chondroitin complexes are natural non-extracted ingredients containing chondroitin sulphate and type II collagen. Type II collagen is well recognised for its joint protection properties 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.
