Bio-Cartilage
The Pure Bovine Tracheal Cartilage Supplement

Resulting from the interest generated by published studies using Catrix, Bio-Cartilage is an encapsulated bovine cartilage powder developed for the nutritional supplement marketplace. Pure bovine cartilage has been clinically demonstrated to produce anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and anti-mitotic activities.

Studied in clinical trials for over 20 years, Bio-Cartilage is also backed by more than 30 years of laboratory research conducted by the Lescarden research team. Their findings are regarded as the foundation for any cartilage investigation, and are universally cited by researchers and manufacturers in discussing product efficacy.

Bio-Cartilage is 100% pure bovine tracheal cartilage material, containing 50% type two collagen and 45% mucopolysaccharides, including chondroitin sulfates. Bio-Cartilage is produced to FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) ensuring product quality and consistency. Produced for the nutritional supplement market, Bio-Cartilage is sold on no-claims made basis.

Bio-Cartilage Applications

Inflammatory Joint Disease

Through the natural aging process, the joints become more restricted and experience a decrease in flexibility. In addition the cushioning provided by cartilage and the surrounding synovial fluid degrades leaving the joint more susceptible to stress and disease. Along with exercise, a supplementary regimen including glucosamine and chondroitin has been demonstrated to improve the lubricating environment of the joint and enhance cartilage health. Bio-Cartilage is a natural source of both of these substances. Research undertaken by Lescarden has shown very positive results in the treatment of inflammatory joint disease in animals as well as arthritis in humans. 

Immune System Enhancer

Research indicates that bovine cartilage powder acts as a biological response modifier, regulating
the activity of important components of the immune system. Clinical evidence demonstrates that Catrix bovine cartilage stimulates B lymphocytes, which strengthen the immune system by increasing the level of antibodies circulating in the body as well as stimulating T lymphocytes, which identify and fight invasive/foreign cells in the body.

People suffering from psoriasis have also found that Bio-Cartilage, in conjunction with a topical application of a Catrix-based cream, can help to alleviate many of the symptoms of the condition.
This application has been observed in a clinical trial conducted by Lescarden.

Cancer

Dr. Prudden’s research investigating the use of Catrix bovine cartilage as a potential treatment for certain types of cancer evolved from the positive results observed in prior investigations using Catrix in treating psoriasis. Like psoriasis, cancer is characterized by the over proliferation of cells. Studies have
identified in Lescarden’s bovine cartilage a clear protein (not collagen) that is a potent inhibitor of the growth of renal cell carcinoma.

Laboratory and clinical studies have identified potential pharmacological actions in cartilage which may be beneficial in the treatment of certain types of cancer. Researchers have discovered that cartilage has demonstrated a stimulating effect on the immune system, displays anti-mitotic activity (inhibits the process by which cells divide and multiply) and an anti-angiogenic effect  (prevents the growth of new blood vessels) cutting off the blood supply tumors need to grow.


Bio-Cartilage is available in bottles of 360 capsules each containing 750mg. For more information on Bio-Cartilage or to order, please contact us today.
