Cartilox Go Softgel

Cartilox Go Softgel – Collagen, Curcuminoids, Boswellia and Hyaluronic Acid by Dr Reddy’s

Cartilox Go from Dr Reddy’s is a five-component nutraceutical softgel: Curcumin 125 mg (95% curcuminoids), Boswellia extract 100 mg (30% AKBA), Hyaluronic acid 80 mg, Collagen powder 40 mg and Black pepper extract 2.5 mg (95% piperine). The collagen is the part worth reading carefully. It is supplied as undenatured type II collagen – 1.2 mg of it – and that tiny number is deliberate, not a shortfall. Undenatured type II collagen is not intended as a building material the way a 10 g collagen scoop is; it works through the gut-associated immune tissue, and the research doses sit in the low milligrams. Take it in the hundreds of milligrams and the mechanism is lost. Alongside it, hyaluronic acid is the molecule that gives joint fluid its viscosity, and the curcumin and Boswellia arrive standardised at 95% curcuminoids and 30% AKBA respectively, with piperine to help absorption. A softgel, so the actives are pre-dissolved in oil. Pack of 15 softgels.
