Sendi

Sendi terbentuk daripada dua atau lebih tulang bertemu dan ia adalah tempat khusus untuk menyokong badan kita. Terdapat sejumlah  360 sendi dalam seluruh badan kita untuk memudahkan pergerakan activiti seharian. Di sekeliling sendi terdapat ligamen, patella, tendon, urat-urat, sinovial membra, rawan dan otot yang menyambungkan sendi and menyokong sendi-sendi.

 

 

Sakit Sendi, Arthritis, Osteoporosis

Kebanyakan activiti harian melibatkan pergerakan tulang dan sendi misalnya berjalan, naik tangga, menari, berlari, berdiri, duduk. Penggunaan sendi yang terlalu banyak menyebatkan degenerasi awal rawan sendi dan seterusnya sakit sendi. Degenerasi rawan sendi dapat diperhatikan daripada kehilangan rawan sendi dan membran sinovial yang semakin merosot. Degenerasi rawan sendi boleh disebabkan oleh banyak faktor:

1. Berat badan
2. Aktiviti harian: Berdiri atau duduk jangka masa panjang
3. Pemakanan tidak seimbang
4. Aktif dalam sukan
5. Umur

Kebanyakan orang yang berlebih berat badan akan mengalami sakit sendi lebih awal daripada kalangan yang berusia sama. Ini disebabkan oleh berat badan yang memberi tekanan yang kuat pada sendi. Untuk melegakan kesakitan sendi di kalangan ini, dinasihatkan untuk mengurangkan berat badan. Pemakanan yang tidak seimbang adalan salah satu punca utama yang menyebabkan rawan sendi kita semakin merosot. Makanan yang boleh membantu menghasilkan “gel atau kusyen” yang menyokong sendi adalan makan yang mengandungi kolagen. Makanan seperti kulit ikan, kulit ayam, kulit lembu, gamat, kaki ayam adalah tinggi dengan kolagen. Tetapi adakah anda akan makan makanan ini setiap hari? Tambahan, kuantiti yang banyak diperlukan untuk menambah semula kolagen di sendi. Orang yang aktif dalam sukan akan mengalami kesakitan sendi di tempat yang selalu diberi tekanan. Kebanyakan di lutut, bahu, siku, leher.

Kolagen Sendi: Makanan Semula Jadi untuk Kesihatan Sendi

Bila kita sebut kolagen, kita akan terfikir dengan kolagen kulit. Sendi kita perlukan kolagen juga! Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa 20-30% daripada badan kita mengandungi kolagen: kulit, organ, tulang, otot, sendi, ligamen, tendon, gusi, gigi, kuku, rambut. Kolagen sendi adalah lain daripada kolagen kulit. Ia adalah diperbuat daripada kulit lembu atau gelatin. Kenapa kulit lembu? Menurut kajian, adalah didapati bahawa sel kulit lembu mimik sel kita. Selepas dimakan, ia akan bergerak ke tempat sasaran untuk membaiki dan memulihkan tempat tersebut.

Joint Collagen

Joint collagen products are seen more and more in the market, springing up like mushrooms after the rain. Collagen, type 2 collagen, collagen hydrolysate, collagen peptides, hydrolysed collagen, undenatured type 2 collagen are some of the common names you might have heard to describe joint collagen.

But do you know what are the differences? How are they affecting your joints? How are they helping your body? What are the ingredients? How much active collagen are there in the product you are consuming? Or are you just consuming the additives and sugar?

Type 1 collagen and Type 2 collagen

Do you know the differences? Type 1 collagen is mostly found in our skin, muscles. Fish collagen is mostly categorized under Type 1 collagen. Type 2 collagen is widely found at our cartilage. Chicken and bovine source of collagen falls under this category. However, it was found the bovine skin cells has the most similar cells to the human body. Hence, absorption at joint areas is very much better.

Joint Pain and Stiffness

How do you know the product is well absorbed? Previously we mentioned that bovine skin has the most similar cells to the human body, hence better absorption. Absorption also can be measured by the molecular size of the ingredient source. For example, the two ingredients that are found in joint supplement products in the market, Bioactive collagen peptides and Undenatured collagen type-2 (UC-2). Bioactive collagen peptides (BCP) has a molecular size of 2-9kDa whereas UC-2 with 300kDa. We can say that BCP has very much better absorption than UC-2 at our joints.

Better absorption means better effect. After taking in the products, you will feel improvement faster.

Both BCP and UC-2 are found to relieve joint pain in subjects over period of 12 weeks.

Based on our real customer testimonials, there are customers that find improvement within 3-10 days after taking Bioactive collagen peptides.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides Regenerate Cartilage

As BCP is found to be better absorbed at cartilage area, BCP replenish collagen at joint areas, repairs tendons and ligaments. BCP improves muscle recovery too. Studies showed that BCP regenerate cartilage over a period of 12-24 weeks. You will feel improves stamina, lighter and improved body strength with BCP. Most importantly, protection for your joints is at its most.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides Nourish Nails, Hair and Skin

Yes you are right! BCP being one form of collagen helps to nourish your skin, nails and hair as well. With regular intake, you will find improvement on your skin (firming), nails (harden) and hair (stronger and less hair fall).

Safe Food Supplement

BCP is a safe food ingredient approved by the FDA. BCP is safe to be taken on long term basis.

 

 

 

 

 

Stronger Bones and Joints

Our body is supported by the bone structure and these bone structures are connected by joints. As we see now people are prone to early bone loss and joint degeneration. Stress level, environment, food intake, weight, age and daily activities are some of the causes of early degeneration of bones and joints. As we need to keep up with the busy schedule, we tend to neglect what we eat to replenish what is loss from the body.

Calcium improves bone density. We need to take in certain amount of milk and dairy products to maintain healthy calcium level in our body. Calcium rich food like broccoli, spinach, green leafy vegetables, cheese, yogurt, soy beans, bone broth etc.  As for joints, collagen is the main component in our cartilage. As we move daily, we need to replenish the right amount of collagen so to keep joints healthy. In fact, collagen consist of 30-40% of protein compound in our body. Collagen is essential to maintain healthy function of muscles, organs, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails and skin. Examples of foods that help your body to produce collagen are like bone broth, egg whites, citrus fruits, beans, leafy greens, chicken, fish, shellfish, tropical fruits, berries. But are you getting enough of all these foods everyday?

Joint pain occur when our collagen output is more than the input, in which joint protection synovial fluid and cartilage is challenged. Collagen loss at these areas causes the joints to be very near to each other or worst rubbing against each other. This causes joint pain or growth of bone spurs over time.

There are many natural remedies to relieve joint pain. Massage and acupuncture are some of the common ways to relieve pain. To lose weight in overweight individual is essential to reduce the pressure on our knees. One of the natural food for joint pain relief is turmeric. You may add turmeric powder in your food or rice daily for its anti-inflammation properties. Also the same question do you take turmeric powder everyday?

Natural Collagen Supplement

Joint collagen supplement helps to replenish collagen loss from the whole body plus maintaining healthy joint function. Collagen hydrolysate (hydrolysed gelatin) is one form of food collagen supplement that is available in the market to help with joint problems. Studies found that 10g of pure collagen hydrolysate aka Bioactive collagen peptides improves joint mobility and reduces joint pain in sportsmen after 12 weeks of treatment.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides

RECOGEN Original contains 100% Natural Bioactive collagen peptides (BCP). BCP has very low molecular size (3000kDalton) which makes it highly absorbed from our body. Bioactive collagen peptides molecule moves to targeted joints once taken into the body. 10g of Recogen everyday helps to relieve joint pain and improves muscle recovery. Studies also showed that BCP reduces bone loss and prevents osteoporosis. RECOGEN has no sugar, suitable for diabetics and will not add on weight to the body.

Bioactive Collagen Peptides

Collagen is the main building block for healthy blood vessels, flesh, cartilage, bones, tendons and connective tissues. After we reach the age of 25, the rate of collagen production starts to fall. When this happens, you experience cartilage degeneration, which may lead to joint deformities and osteoarthritis.

Bioactive collagen peptides –  type of collagen of short-chain protein peptides with 18 proteinogenic amino acids. These amino acids aid in nourishing body tissues, cartilages, bones, tendons, ligaments, hair, nails and skin.

Bioactive collagen peptides is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis from clean and safe bovine sources, commonly known as hydrolyzed gelatine. Bioactive Collagen Peptides is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to improve bones and joints health.

The extremely low molecular weights (approximately 3000 Daltons) of Bioactive Collagen Peptides give excellent solubility. It is easily digested and absorbed into your body to reach targeted joint and bone area effectively to aid in regeneration of cartilage and collagen-containing tissues. This is to support and maintain healthy joint functions and to improve joint flexibility.

Joint Pain and Collagen

Most of us are affected by some form of joint discomfort every now and then no matter what your age is. If you are age between 10-20 who is active in sports, you are using a lot on your joints. Age 20-40 working adults, we tend to sit or stand a lot due to the nature of work. This puts a lot of pressure on our joints as well especially our lower back. Age 40 and above, when our stamina starts to deteriorate, still active in sports and work, we tend to use up our collagen fuel in our body. Last but not least, all of us no matter young or old loves to travel! Travelling opens the mind and relaxes the soul. You would not want to be restricted to where you wanna go when you grow older, am I right?

So! Maintenance is key to keeping your body and joints healthy!

Collagen is the main building block for healthy blood vessels, flesh, cartilage, bones, tendons and connective tissues. After we reach the age of 25, the rate of collagen production starts to fall. When this happens, you experience cartilage degeneration, which may lead to joint deformities and osteoarthritis.

 

Do I need to take Collagen for Long Term?

We always ask this question. We have been so active in life and of course eating well is one of the main focus to good health. The same goes for our joint health as well. If you have been using your body and joints a lot, and they have been giving you signals (like soreness, pain, stiffness, or any form of discomfort), it’s time to take care of them! No matter what age you are at! It’s your body now that is doing the talking.

As we perform our daily activities, our body uses up our body collagen fuel. So where does the collagen fuel comes from? Yes our body produces collagen and boosted by the food that we eat! So when you are using more than what you have taken in, what happens next? The collagen warehouse will be short of collagen. Your body will give you signs of aging: skin (wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation); joints (crackling sound, joint pain, joint stiffness, joint swelling, lower back pain, neck pain).

So the signals that were given by our joints are very dependent on the area which is used most. For example is someone with neck pain, usually has problem with posture, lower back pain affected by people who sits and stand long hours, knee pain most people will experience some form of knee pain in their life as we walk everyday, shoulder pain etc. Some will go off after resting but some don’t. And age does affect the rate of healing of joint pain by its own. As our body age, our healing mechanism slows down, hence this result.

The Spine

Our spine is the backbone of the body. The spine is the main core and strength of the body in which supports all joints, muscles and nerves, Hence it is very important to maintain good spinal health. Constant moving around, sitting and standing due to work and daily activities add pressure to our backbone everyday. And collagen loss is observed over time. These lead to symptoms like back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, joint stiffness, difficult to straighten legs after sitting, difficulty in squatting, bone spurs development, slipped disc etc.
