	A New Strategy for Patients with Chronic Joint Symptoms
	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.
