Matrix Repair is a nutraceutical formulation which aims to assist the endogenous synthesis of collagen and prevent damage to cartilaginous tissues. Collagen is a very abundant protein in the human body and is contained in various organs and tissues, in particular bones, cartilage, ligaments, hair, including the skin. A reduction in skin collagen concentrations, rather than an anomalous turnover, is therefore partly responsible for the changes observed in joint problems and skin aging. Even intense physical exercise can cause severe damage to muscle collagen, whose health in terms of elasticity and resistance is fundamental for optimal sporting performance.

Matrix Repair is made up of ingredients that work in synergy on three fronts:

1. Increase the formation of cartilage tissue;

2. Provide the main elements for the synthesis of collagen;

3. Minimize joint inflammation.

The main ingredient is Peptan® which is a world leading brand based on small collagen peptides, whose effectiveness is supported by profound scientific research. Peptan® contains 18 amino acids, of which 50% are represented by proline, hydroxyproline and glycine specific to Type 1 collagen, found in bones and skin. Peptan® is highly assimilable and bioavailable. MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) is a natural form of organic sulfur. It promotes the formation of Keratin, a very resistant protein contained in nails and hair; it is very useful for the formation of connective and cartilaginous tissue. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are used together in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Both act as components cementing the structure of the connective and cartilaginous tissue. Sodium Hyaluronate is one of the essential components that make up the proteoglycans, capable of giving resistance and elasticity to the connective tissue; gives the skin hydration and tone. Vitamin C from Acerola and Zinc are essential factors for the synthesis of collagen to which pomegranate extract also contributes specifically. Thanks to the presence of quercetin, a flavonoid with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power, Matrix Repair can also be useful to counteract conditions of pain and muscle and joint fatigue. Quercefit® provides particularly assimilable phytosomal quercitin.
