Pop Quiz Answer Sheet
Q: What is the most abundant protein in the human body?
A: Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, responsible for providing structure to the connective tissue that includes bones, tendons, cartilage, organs, and skin. The word “Collagen” comes from the Greek word kólla, which means glue. Without it, you would be a puddle on the floor.
Q: Of the more than 20 types of Collagen in our bodies, what are the most common?
Collagen Types I, II, and III make up the greatest percentage of collagen proteins in our bodies.
Q: What type of Collagen is most important for healthy joint function?
Collagen Type II is the most vital type of collagen for healthy joints. It is very high concentration in the cartilage, which provides the slippery cushion on which the moving parts ride.
Healthy Knee Joint
It is rare to discuss arthritis, without discussing the knees. This is because, as a weight-bearing joint, and due to the knee’s complicated structure, they are the most susceptible to wear, overuse, abuse and trauma due to an active lifestyle.
As such, the knees tend to be the “Poster Child” whenever the topic turns to arthritis symptoms. From there, it is simple to draw a conclusion; if something is designed to help the knees, then it will also benefit every other joint in your body, whether it is weight-bearing or not.
Hyaluronic Acid is Lube for Your Squeaky Hinge
Hyaluronic Acid is like a big sponge, able to hold 1,000 times its own weight in water. 
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is in high concentration in the joints as a major component of synovial fluid, helping increase the viscosity to increase lubrication and cushion.
Imagine what would happen if you ran your car’s engine out of oil. Then imagine the results when your joints lose their lubrication.
Keep your parts slippery.

Every day, your knees support the Space Shuttle’s weight at launch.
In the 60’s, Japanese walking clubs defined “10-thousand steps per day” to be the benchmark for being an “Active” adult. At the time, Japanese research estimated the average person walked only 3,500 – 5,000 steps each day.
The distinction originated in 1965 when the watch company, Yamasa Tokei, introduced the first pedometer (counts steps) with the slogan, “Let’s all walk 10,000 steps a day!” From there, 10-thousand steps became synonymous with the minimum steps it takes to be reasonably healthy.
Since then, it has inspired countless programs and daily routines, and become synonymous with the threshold at which a healthy adult is considered “active”, or not.
(Related: “Why Does 10-Thousand Steps Define Healthy Activity“)
For this reason, it is useful to consider 10,000 Steps as a base factor toward understanding the onslaught of forces your knee joints must withstand while sustaining the minimal levels of an active lifestyle. With this understanding and perspective, we can take steps — if you will — toward proper care for these under-appreciated joints.
“Won’t 10,000 Steps Take All DAY?!!“
Although 10-thousand steps sound like a lot, it typically takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, at a brisk walk, equating to roughly 5 miles for the average stride.
And it should be noted that these steps do not need to be continuous steps to be beneficial. Getting up several times each day to walk down a hall and back can also provide results, and you will be surprised how fast the counts add up.
Even the National Institutes of Health agree…
The NIH has further classified daily step counts to define additional activity levels.
Knees by the numbers (how it adds up):
- 2 – 3 times: The multiplier of body weight on each knee, with each step, while walking on level ground1,2
- 180 pounds: The average weight of an American (male=195, female=166)3
- 450 pounds: Force applied to each knee, with each step, while walking on level ground (180 x 2.5 = 450)
- 4.5 Million Pounds: Accumulation of cyclic forces as applied to your knees, each day, for a minimally “active” adult (10,000 steps x 450 = 4,500,000 pounds)
4.5 Million Pounds is also the weight of the Space Shuttle at the time of liftoff from the launch pad.4
Yeah… No wonder your knees hurt!
You can see why the stresses of an active lifestyle — day after day, year after year — can result in your knees craving proper care and nutrition.
I have been taking CellRenew since May of 2003. I attribute my continued ability to be active to this product. In 2006 I had arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder and was told by the physician that I needed a shoulder replacement. I did not llke the diagnosis, and over the next year sought another opinion. I found a surgeon who said I had enough cartilage and he could fix me. So in 2007 I had my right shoulder completely rebuilt. While I am weaker, I have 90% range of motion and can do most things. Among my activities was a 15 day camping-portage canoe venture in Isle Royale. This product has kept my arthritis at bay. I am still active at 75.
I just visited my doctor. He says that I am amazing and wanted to know what I am doing, and what I am taking. I talked about CellRenew and how I have been taking it a couple of years. It has made an amazing difference in my knees. My doctor took down all the information. It really works as an antiaging product. I know I feel a lot better with it, than I would have without it.
CellRenew PRO… It’s like meeting your knee’s best friend.
CellRenew Collagen Type II is the Right Choice
When you change the oil in your car, do you compromise with a brand that has only half the lubricating properties?
Of course not.
Even if you save a couple bucks, making the wrong choice when choosing lubrication for your engine will result in disaster… and a much higher expense, later.
As an “active” adult, the same principle applies when you choose how to nourish and lubricate your hard-working joints. You need a full 2000 milligrams of collagen type II to compensate for the daily stresses that “10,000 steps” imposes on your joints.
If that reason is not compelling enough, remember . . . there are 4.5 million more.
Since 1997, CellRenew Collagen Type II has only been made with the full 2000 milligrams in each dose, including 200 milligrams of Hyaluronic Acid.
When you are restoring or maintaining the health of your weight-bearing joints, compromise is not an option.
CellRenew… Never Compromise.
