Intra-articular collagen is a significant protein therapy for joint health and function. Collagen within the joint is especially abundant in cartilage tissue and supports joint mobility. Cartilage functions to reduce friction between bones and absorb shocks, ensuring smooth joint operation. Collagen is a critical component for the durability and flexibility of this structure.
Role and Benefits of Intra-articular Collagen
- Support and Flexibility: Collagen, as the main structural protein of joint cartilage, protects joint surfaces and ensures their flexibility.
- Mobility: Collagen supports smooth joint movements and prevents wear and tear during motion.
- Regeneration and Repair: Collagen provides the building blocks necessary for the healing of joint damages and the regeneration of tissues.
