A New Strategy for Patients with Chronic Joint Symptmso
This monograph focuses on a new breakthrough approach—the only product with a U.S. patent for cartilage regeneration—CH-Alpha with collagen hydrolysate. In addition to a description of what collagen hydrolysate is and its potential, this monograph explains its mechanism of action and how it may affect cartilage metabolism. The preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the use of this supplement in people with chronic joint symptoms is also reviewed.

Patient Education Brochures (25 copies with a brochure holder)
This patient education brochure will help healthcare professionals discuss the benefits of CH-Alpha with their patients, including how it stimulates cartilage regeneration and supports joint health.
