Certified Nutraceuticals: Tendoguard™

The Ideal Collagen Blend for Joint Health

There are 28 different types of collagen in the human body, some with distinct roles for repairing and maintaining connective tissues that help joints remain strong and function properly. In fact, collagen accounts for 60% to 80% of the proteins in articular cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

TendoGuard™ is a clinically tested blend of avian sternum and eggshell membrane that delivers the collagen types (I, II, V and X) essential for maximizing bone, cartilage, and tissue repair. It is carefully hydrolyzed for human absorption while preserving the nutrients and naturally occurring mucopolysaccharides, specifically hyaluronic acid, chondroitin, and glucosamine, that support joint health and flexibility.

TendoGuard collagens are believed to stimulate fibroblasts and chondrocytes to produce new collagen to repair damage and maintain extra cellular matrix in joints and throughout the body. TendoGuard also contains proteoglycans that help cartilage withstand compression and cushion joints. They also play an important role in lubricating joints with synovial fluid.

Differentiated fibroblast-like cells called chondrocytes produce cartilage

Clinical Research Shows Joint Health Improvements

A 60-day observational study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of TendoGuard in older adults experiencing joint discomfort and diminished mobility. Subjects received 750 mgs of TendoGuard daily. At the conclusion of the study, 78% of subjects reported significant improvements in range of motion, general pain and muscle strength.¹

A large body of research supports the benefits of collagen supplementation for joint health. This clinical study demonstrates that TendoGuard reduces discomfort and restores freedom of movement.²

Bioavailability & Bioactivity

TendoGuard is hydrolyzed for maximum uptake, bioavailability, and efficacy. Research shows that a precise molecular weight of 20 kDa is optimal for preserving mucopolysaccharides that synergize with amino acids to stimulate collagen synthesis in the joints and throughout the extracellular matrix.

Overprocessing can deplete collagen of these nutrients and diminish health benefits. Always check a collagen’s certificate of analysis for the mucopolysaccharide percentages and proteoglycan to determine if the peptides are optimal size.
