GELENK AKTIV forte

Joint problems - more than 5 million people affected in Germany

Do you have pain in your knees, hips, shoulders, hands or ankles? Then you're in good company, or rather bad company: more than 5 million people in Germany suffer from a diagnosed joint disease. But far more people suffer from constantly recurring pain in their joints due to a wide variety of causes. For those affected, joint pain severely restricts their enjoyment of life because even the slightest movement often hurts!

For mobility and enjoyment of movement, it is important to provide the joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons with an optimal combination of nutrients and active substances.

GELENK AKTIV forte - the formula for more mobility

The new GELENK AKTIV forte is a unique, innovative joint formula with high-quality, natural nutrients. These ingredients from nature can help you to go through life more comfortably** - thanks to the patented ^Ovomet® eggshell membrane powder. The green-lipped mussel powder rounds off this product - as does the perfectly balanced vitamin-mineral mix to normalize bones and cartilage*.

Pain-free with eggshell membrane? How does that work?

We are all familiar with the robust membrane of hard-boiled or freshly cracked eggs that sticks to the inside of the calcium shell. This fine membrane, known as the eggshell membrane, consists of two thin layers of connective tissue. They enclose the chicken embryo and serve to cushion it against vibrations and protect it from microorganisms and dehydration.

But what use is this to humans? Scientists have discovered that the composition of the eggshell membrane is almost 100% identical to that of human cartilage. This makes it ideal for supplying nutrients to our cartilage.

Eggshell membrane contains a purely natural combination of exactly the nutrients that are important for maintaining healthy cartilage and joints:

• Collagen (types I, V and X)

• chondroitin sulphate

• glucosamine

• hyaluronic acid

• dermatan sulphate

• keratan sulphate

• lysozymes

• Desmosine and isodesmosine (amino acids for elastin)

• Methionine and cysteine (sulphur-containing amino acids)

• Beta growth factors

The airbag from nature for your cartilage

While the body's own collagen improves the general structure of the cartilage, glucosamine protects the cartilage like an airbag against pressure. Glucosamine also stimulates the production of gel-like synovial fluid, which ensures smooth movement.

Chondroitin promotes the elasticity of the cartilage. The substance produced by chondroblasts is an important component of cartilage tissue and contributes to its resistance to compression.

Hyaluronic acid is also an endogenous substance whose level decreases with increasing age. It is the main component of synovial fluid and acts as a lubricant in all the movements our joints make.

The unique ^Ovomet® eggshell membrane powder

Unlike many other joint products, Ovomet® eggshell membrane ^powder can be taken continuously. This is very important for the well-being of those affected, as symptoms can worsen during breaks in intake.

^Ovomet® eggshell membrane powder has an unsurpassed purity. A unique bio-thermal process kills potential pathogens that may have colonized the egg, including salmonella and the avian flu virus.
