Anti-aging supplements, skin treatments, and joint formulas all contain varying levels of collagen, the critical component of joint cartilage that allows joints and muscles to stay strong and flexible. Flexibility and range of motion of muscles can deteriorate with age, and this is largely due to a reduction of healthy cartilage. People suffering from degenerative joint diseases in particular can benefit from a dietary supplement that includes vital cartilage and collagen compounds. Nature’s Way Hydraplenish has much to offer: It helps lubricate and cushion the joints, promotes healthy skin tissue, and even reduces the signs of aging.

Collagen
There are three main types of collagen, but collagen type II is the primary form of articular cartilage that is necessary for healthy joints, muscles, and tendons. Healthy cartilage ensures that the body can move and stretch with ease, and comprises glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid (HA), and collagen type II. All of these compounds are available in various dietary supplements and nutritious foods, but each two-caplet serving of Hydraplenish offers the added advantage of bioavailable collagen.

Bioavailability
An essential element of many dietary supplements, bioavailability is the degree and rate at which the body absorbs nutrients. Nature’s Way designed Hydraplenish for enhanced bioavailability, making it very easy for the body to assimilate key compounds and start utilizing collagen to repair joints, lubricate muscles and tendons, and even smooth lines on the skin’s surface.

Hydraplenish Ingredients
Key ingredients of Hydraplenish include:

• 
  

  BioCell Collagen II, a proprietary blend of hydrolyzed collagen, chondroitin sulfate, and HA.

  
  


• 
  

  Methylsulfonylmethane as OptiMSM.

  
  

The HA in the BioCell Collagen II blend serves as a powerful joint moisturizer and lubricant. This acid is primarily found between the joints and in skin tissue and can help cushion joints, allowing for improved range of motion. This is especially important for frail or weakened bones, since they are more at risk for breakdown that can lead to a variety of debilitating conditions. HA can also help rejuvenate the skin, smoothing out fine lines and enhancing the complexion.

Finding a valuable source of HA can be difficult, but Nature’s Way Hydraplenish offers this essential compound in a bioavailable formula. The patented BioCell Collagen II complex offers a variety of benefits for those who are experiencing wrinkled skin or poor muscle and joint development, or who have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease.
