CellRenew Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II Technical Outline
Product Goal
To provide a highly absorbable hydrolyzed collagen type II product derived from 100% pure sternal cartilage for individuals looking to support joint health and symptoms associated with joint discomfort.
Suggested Use
Take four (4) capsules first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes before eating.
Key Active Components
CellRenew contains highly efficacious and naturally occurring levels of Hyaluronic Acid (HA-sometimes called hyaluronan), glucosamine sulfate, depolymerized chondroitin sulfate (smaller molecules which means a higher absorption rate to users), type II collagen protein, and cartilage matrix glycoprotein.
Discussion
Hylauronic Acid (HA) and Collagen are vital structural components of skin that decline as we age, and are responsible for the skin’s moisture, suppleness, and elasticity.
CellRenew Collagen Type II contains the only hydrolyzed 100% pure sternum derived Collagen Type II ingredient shown to be safe and effective. It provides low molecular weight compounds, which are readily and easily absorbed into the bloodstream. It has high levels of the “anti-aging” nutrient Hyaluronic Acid.2,3 This powerful and research proven ingredient contains key components like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate which can help support healthy skin and joint function to combat the degenerative effects of aging.4, 5,6,7
Key Product Highlights/Bullets
- Hydrolyzed and denatured (enzymatically modified) to low molecular weight compounds that increase bioavailability and absorption into bloodstream after an oral dose.4 Other native or undenatured products DO NOT have this high absorption rate due to their larger molecule size.
- CellRenew is so effective that the raw material has been awarded two United States Patents (US patent #6,025,327 and #6,323,319) for support of soft tissues.1,4,8,9,10,11,12
- Supports healthy joint function by strengthening cartilage and the joint structure13
- May help promote joint cushioning
- Supports healthy skin function by increasing skin hydration.15
- May boost skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by promoting skin repair and support.15
- May help improve the appearance of skin, hair, and nails because it naturally contains key “beauty” amino acids like hydroxyproline.4, 17, 18
History/Background
CellRenew has been on the market since 1997 and has been effectively used by thousands of people since then. Even though research exists on hydrolyzed collagen, Applied Health Solutions has initiated a double blind placebo controlled study to confirm the proven effects of this ingredient. Dr. Ramon Gustilo and the doctors on his staff have been providing a CellRenew product to their patients since 1999. Dr. Gustilo is a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon and scientist. He is the inventor of the Gustilo Classification System which is part of the standard curriculum of medical schools worldwide. Dr. Gustilo is also the co-inventor and patent holder of hip and knee replacement joint systems. He is unquestionably a world-leading authority on orthopedics and joint health, and we are proud of his confidence in our CellRenew product. We share his confidence, and we know that you will too. We back up our confidence with our Guaranteed Results Policy which provides for a 100% money back guarantee if a customer does not realize results to match their expectations.
In the village of Yuzurihara, Japan (also know as “village of long life”), there seems to exist a population that has the longest age span in the world. Featured on ABC television, this village had one common thread – maintenance of Hyaluronic acid (HA) levels in their bodies. The people of this village were living to old ages without wrinkles and common age-related diseases. In fact, Bill Sardi, author of the new book, “HA: How to Live 100 Years Without Growing Old” (available from Here and Now books), discusses this very phenomenon.
HA has been studied by scientists for over 40 years. It is a key component to many normal bodily functions and has hundreds of research studies showing its value in skin and joint health.
Wound Healing – Hyaluronic acid has been shown to support wound healing, mainly as a topical application. In a study entitled “The properties of hyaluronan and its role in wound healing” published in 2001, Hyaluronic Acid is discussed as having wound healing properties. It seems to work through its water retaining properties.16
Nutrient Safety
Shown to be very safe with no adverse effects. A very detailed acute oral toxicity study conducted by Covance laboratories confirms its safety.20
Nutrient Interaction/Contraindication
Based on the mechanism of action of this nutrient and its proven safety in research studies,10, 13 NO interactions or contraindications are known at this time.
FDA Information – No claims can be made regarding CellRenew’s direct effects on treatment of Osteoarthritis or other joint diseases. No claims can be made regarding this ingredient and any other diseases it may heal or help treat. A structure function claim with hyaluronic acid stating that it “Promotes skin health” has been filed with the FDA. This ingredient was filed with the FDA without comment as a new ingredient in 2000.
FTC information – NONE – After conducting an extensive review of the FTC web site, NO filings or actions involving this ingredient were found.
Therapeutic Equivalents – Undenatured or “native” collagen is another “me too/wanna be” type product but it does not have the same powerful effects of CellRenew. In fact, it is poorly absorbed due to its higher molecular weight. It also does not have the same available hyaluronic acid content as CellRenew does. The doses of undenatured collagen Type II are very low and are not nearly as efficacious as the dosages of CellRenew.
Patents
The ingredient in CellRenew is patent protected by US patent number # 6,025,327. Hydrolyzed collagen type II and use thereof
