Yes. BioCell Collagen^® — the key compound in Purity's H.A. Joint Formula^™ that delivers Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II, and Chondroitin Sulfate — has been safely and successfully used by millions of people since its introduction in the market in 1997. It was affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by an independent expert panel following rigorous scientific reviews for not only safety and toxicology, but on manufacturing processes according to Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP) for food, as well. Clinical research supports the safety, bioavailability, and effectiveness of this ingredient and its constituents. It has been granted multiple U.S. and international patents for being unique and highly useful.

H.A. Joint Formula’s^™ composition mirrors human joint cartilage in many key aspects. Independent laboratory analysis shows that it contains hydrolyzed type II collagen (60%), depolymerized chondroitin sulfate (20%), hyaluronic acid (10%) and other proteoglycans. Collagen is the most abundant protein found in joint cartilage and the dermis of the skin. It provides the structural framework of your connective tissues to keep your skin firm and resilient and your joints active and fluid. Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally occurring element of joint cartilage that gives cartilage its amazing shock absorbing properties. Hyaluronic acid (H.A.) is a molecule that helps provide hydration for your skin, lubrication for your joints, and is the gel-like substance that holds your cells together. With a patented process, BioCell Collagen^® is developed as a molecularly optimized ingredient that can be easily absorbed through the small intestine.*

Everyone can benefit from taking Purity's H.A Joint Formula^™. Diet, age, stress, the digestive system, and physical activity (sports which impact joints) all affect our ability to provide the body with the nutritional raw materials it requires to properly support joint and connective tissue health. H.A Joint Formula^™ should be an essential daily nutritional addition for anyone who wants to remain healthy and active throughout their life.*

BioCell Collagen^® is a clinically researched, multi-patented nutraceutical ingredient that promotes active joints and younger looking skin. Medical professionals and nutritionists are calling it a new generation of "super ingredients." Unlike most nutraceutical ingredients, which provide one-dimensional support, BioCell Collagen^® is actually a concentrated bioavailable and bioactive matrix of naturally occurring molecules that play a vital role in the body's ability to maintain healthy connective tissues, flexible joints, and youthful looking skin.* Together these elements provide multi-dimensional nutritional support that helps the body more effectively renew connective tissue health in targeted crucial areas such as joints and skin.* BioCell Collagen^® is made from a single source and utilizes a patented Bio-Optimized^™ process that ensures rapid absorption.

No, glucosamine offers only a partial approach to joint health, while BioCell Collagen^® is a multi-dimensional ingredient that supports both joint and skin health. H.A. Joint Formula^™ offers a more complete approach to joint health by providing the body with cartilage nutrients such as collagen type II (most abundant protein in cartilage), hyaluronic acid (a major component of synovial joint lubrication fluid), chondroitin sulfate (shock absorbing molecule), 5-Loxin^® (a special extract derived from Boswellia Serrata), Olive Fruit Extract (a polyphenol antioxidant), and more in a formula that helps support the health of your joints, eyes, and skin.* If we consume only single elements involved in the complex process of keeping our joints and other connective tissue healthy we may be missing out on a supportive co-factor. H.A. Joint Formula^™, with its uniquely differentiated properties, provides broader nutritional support. Plus, in human clinical research, the BioCell Collagen^® in H.A. Joint Formula^™ demonstrated skin health benefits by boosting skin collagen and reducing facial wrinkles and dryness, while glucosamine has not.

5-LOXIN^® is a patent-pending compound which promotes joint comfort and mobility.* It also helps reduce the action of enzymes that break down cartilage, collagen and connective tissues. While a relatively new ingredient for joint health, it is steeped in the historic roots of the Boswellia serrata plant, used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries. The Boswellia tree has been used for thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in India, and recent studies have shown that modern extracts may provide powerful benefits in promoting joint comfort and knee mobility.* Thus, 5-LOXIN^® is a modern approach to traditional Indian herbal therapy, clinically tested for its effectiveness under strict modern standards.
