5) What type of collagen does Articon^тм contain

Artikon^тм complex contains marine collagen. In comparison with the collagen of animal origin, the collagen of sea fish skin is at most close in the set of amino acids to the human’s, that’s why it doesn’t cause rejection. Also, marine collagen has a high penetrative ability, comparing with collagen of animal origin. Besides, marine collagen comes into the body in easily digestible form – peptide (more than 90% of amino acids are absorbed by the digestive system.)

6) Some of the remedies contain glucosamine sulfate. What is the advantage of glucosamine hydrochloride

Artikon^тм omplex contains glucosamine hydrochloride, which has several advantages over glucosamine sulfate:

• Glucosamine hydrochloride contains 83-88% of pure glucosamine, while glucosamine sulfate – only 59-65%.
• Due to better solubility glucosamine hydrochloride is absorbed by 95%, sulfate –by 80%.
• lucosamine hydrochloride is a stable substance, while potassium chloride or sodium chloride (known as table salt) is needed to stabilize glucosamine sulfate. Taking 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate daily a person gets up to 400 mg (25% in mass) of table salt (besides taking it with food), that is unacceptable for patients with hypertension and kidney diseases.

7) Why is hyaluronic acid contained in the composition?

Hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid in the joint necessary for lubrication and joint slip. It increases its viscosity, thereby restoring the lubricating, shock-absorbing and filtering properties of synovial fluid.
