SUPERMASTIC®
A patented dry extract high in
terpenes
Natural protection
Patented molecule
Highly bioavailable
High potential in
arthrosis treatment
ORIGIN
Silicon, the 2nd most abundant element on Earth
Different forms of silicon exist: mineral forms and active forms. The best bioavailable form of silicon for human use is water soluble organic silicon, also known as silanol. Osteosil is a highly efficient and innovative molecule of silanol and phosphorus made to support healthy bones and joints by increasing the silicon bioavailability in articular tissues and collagen type 1 production.
BENEFITS
| Main benefits | Activities |
|---|---|
| JOINTS HEALTH | Reduction of cartilage lesions by inhibiting enzymatic activity of stromelysin and collagenase1 Anti-inflammatory activity Enhancement of cartilage hyaluronic acid content |
| BONES HEALTH | Positive association between a silicon-rich diet and a high bones mineral density Stabilization of macromolecules such as hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans Bone formation by stimulating osteoblasts (ECM creating cells) and inhibiting osteoclasts (ECM degrading cells) Reduction of osteophyte formation |
MODE OF ACTION
Multiple actions to support healthy bones and joints2
SCIENCE-BASED EVIDENCE
Scientifically proven anti-arthrosis properties3,4
Ex vivo study on human chondrocytes evaluating the effects of Osteosil® on the activity of the
metalloprotease stromelysin, a key enzyme in cartilage degradation implicated in osteoarthritis and responsible for articular lesions.
IL-1 β (interleukin 1 β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine triggering the activation of stromelysin.
When OSTEOSIL® is added in the medium, the activity of stromelysin significantly decreases in a dose-dependant manner.
