Fibromyalgia
Genacol® is one of the only supplements that has been shown to have significant benefits in reducing the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
There is a severe lack of knowledge around the cause of Fibromyalgia and a lack of specific markers that enable its diagnosis. However Fibromyalgia is characterised by musculoskeletal pain, generalised fatigue and a feeling of being tired after sleeping.
The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, however there are several theories: research has shown that people with fibromyalgia have lower than normal levels of serotonin - a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain.
More recently, however, research has also found that fibromyalgia patients had a lower levels of collagen within the body than normal which leads to the body being unable to repair itself adequately, which contribute to the lower pain threshold at the tender points. Lower levels of collagen also meant that fibromyalgia patients spend more time in the alpha phase of sleep, the phase where the body attempts to repair itself moving in phase 2 where the body rests and phase 3 where the body recuperates. Hence sufferers felt tired after sleeping and experienced general fatigue.
In research conducted on fibromyalgia patients the average pain complaint levels in people who had medically diagnosed fibromyalgia for 2-15 years and taking a "collagen hydrolysate", decreased significantly in an overall group average, and dramatically with some individuals. Researchers hence came to the conclusion that patients with fibromyalgia may gain symptomatic improvement in their chronic symptoms by taking a "collagen hydrolysat" such as Genacol®.
Genacol® has also been shown to improve the sleep cycle by providing the body with additional collagen with which the body can repair itself. This enables the body to spend less time in the alpha phase of sleep and more time in the rest phases of sleep allowing fibromyalgia sufferers to gain a better wuality of sleep and reducing the feeling of being tired after sleeping as well as general fatigue.
Full recovery from fibromyalgia is uncommon and most people have to learn to live with the condition long-term. Genacol® however, can play a significant role in the management of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Testimonials
I am using Genacol® and just want to let you know that it is an excellent product. I am taking it for fibromyalgia and could feel the difference within the first month of taking it. At one stage I stopped using it because it is quite expensive and not always freely available but soon needed to use it again. Also I notice a huge difference to my skin. Thank you for this excellent product.
