CLINICAL TRIALS – JOINT HEALTH |
1. BioCell Collagen on subjective pain caused by various joint discomforts
- This trial enrolled 89 subjects who were experiencing pain caused by joint discomfort.
- The subjects ingested 2 grams daily of BioCell Collagen for 45 days.
- Out of 89, 80 subjects (89%) taking BioCell Collagen experienced a degree of improved joint comfort.
- In contrast, only one subject who took placebo had improved joint comfort.
- No adverse events associated with BioCell Collagen were reported.
Results of study – Effective in 89% of subjects
2. BioCell Collagen on joint discomfort
- This randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial enrolled 16 subjects who had joint discomfort.
- The safety and efficacy of BioCell Collagen in managing joint discomfort was investigated by using the WOMAC index.
- The subjects ingested 2 grams daily of BioCell Collagen for 8 weeks.
- As compared to placebo, BioCell Collagen significantly reduced the joint discomfort as much as 40% at the end of the study.
- No adverse events associated with BioCell Collagen were reported.
- The study details were presented at the international conference of Experimental Biology, 2004, Washington, DC.
Results of the study – 40% improvement
3. BioCell Collagen on joint discomfort – expanded, confirmatory clinical trial
- This randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial enrolled 80 subjects who had joint discomfort.
- The safety and efficacy of BioCell Collagen in managing joint discomfort was investigated by using the WOMAC index.
- The subjects ingested 2 grams daily of BioCell Collagen for 10 weeks.
- As compared to placebo, BioCell Collagen significantly reduced joint discomfort, confirming the earlier trial discussed above.
- No adverse events associated with BioCell Collagen were reported.
- The study outcome was published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (2012).
Results of study – Min. 30% less discomfort in 71% of subjects taking BioCell Collagen
4. BioCell Collagen may improve recovery following weight training exercise
- Blood markers associated with muscular stress, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and C-reactive protein, all showed improved levels following exercise challenge(s) between the BioCell Collagen treated and placebo groups
- Post challenge performance decrement was diminished in BioCell Collagen individuals versus the placebo group
The study outcome was published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
HUMAN SKIN STUDY – BEAUTY FROM INSIDE
1. BioCell Collagen™ on natural and photoaging process in facial skin
- This study enrolled 26 subjects who were undergoing both natural (chronological) and photo aging process in their face.
- Both qualitative and quantitative tools were used to measure visible parameters such as wrinkles and fine lines and internal parameters such as dermal collagen content, hydration, and blood microcirculation.
- The subjects ingested 1 gram daily of BioCell Collagen for 12 weeks.
- BioCell Collagen demonstrated the following multi-layered mechanisms which counteracted both natural and photoaging signs.
- Significant reduction of facial lines and wrinkles
- Significant reduction of dryness and skin scaling
- Significant increase in collagen content in the skin dermis
- No adverse events associated with BioCell Collagen were reported.
- The study outcome was published in The Clinical Interventions in Aging (2012).
