Concentrated Collagen Refueller

Genacol, a leading global collagen supplement targeting ageing-related diseases, recently launched in South Africa. Genacol is a matrix of the five main types of collagen, which make up 99% of the body's collagen requirements. It is available in a topical gel for instant relief and in capsules for long term supplementation.

The collagen matrix enables Genacol to relieve symptoms associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. It strengthens bones, joints and fingernails, and can also be used to shorten injury recovery time.

Collagen is the natural protein that constitutes most of the body's structural support -  such as skin, tendon, bone and cartilage - and is the primary substance of connective tissue.

Collagen starts to diminish in the body from the age of 25. By supplementing the body's decreasing stores, many of the signs of ageing on the musculoskeletal system can be greatly reduced.

The Genacol matrix is generated by a procedure called Aminolock Sequential Technology, a process that enhances the concentration of collagen. Genacol is available at Dis-Chem, Clicks and most major pharmacies throughout South Africa.
