Clinical Study Result:

After 6 months of treatment, this clinical study showed that taking AminoLock Collagen combined with an exercise program reduced discomfort, improved general functional status and caused changes to intra-articular and periarticular structures compared to patients on placebo.

A third clinical study was developed at the University of Santo Tomas Hospital in the Philippines. The objective was to determine whether taking Genacol^® AminoLock^® Collagen, combined with a physical exercise program, shows a significant reduction of cartilage wear and tear.

In the study, participants were randomly selected. A treatment group took three 400 mg capsules of Genacol^® Aminolock^® Collagen daily for six months, and a control group (n=53) took a placebo. The two groups were subjected to a standard program.

Evaluations were carried out at the start and end of the six months. These evaluations included reviewing participants’ medical records, a physical exam, WOMAC evaluations and ultrasonography of both knees. Calculation of means and standard deviations were carried out for demographic information, visual analogue scale (VAS) discomfort evaluations, WOMAC evaluations and ultrasound measurements.

Results: in general, WOMAC and VAS evaluations decreased compared to the initial evaluations of both treatment groups. There was a significant increase of 62.5 % in the execution of the exercise program by the treatment group who took Genacol^® Aminolock^® Collagen.

The Genacol^® AminoLock^® Collagen group demonstrated a fairly significant change in the average level of cartilage wear compared to the placebo group. The result of central cartilage compared to the placebo group.

Conclusions: Our clinical team demonstrated that Genacol^® Aminolock^® Collagen, combined with an exercise program, reduced discomfort, improved general functional status and produced changes in the intra-articular and peri-articular structures (that is, an improvement in the level of wear of the cartilage and a decrease in the movement of the lateral meniscus of patients with knee discomfort.
