The following figure demonstrates the unique mechanism of action of CH-Alpha. When CH-Alpha is ingested, Bioactive Collagen Peptides™ (BCPs) are absorbed and pass into joint cartilage, where they help stimulate collagen synthesis.^1,2 Additionally, BCPs stimulate the anabolic phase of the cartilage matrix turnover and, over time, may help improve joint health. Thus, the potential exists for CH-Alpha to work on a molecular level with the metabolic processes of cartilage and stimulate its regeneration.

CH-Alpha may work to intervene in the return of balance in cartilage metabolism.1
