The obstacle to development: weakening connective tissue
During intensive exertion (running, weight training), support for tendons and ligaments, which have poorer blood supply, is particularly important. Repetitive exertion severely tests tendons and connective tissues, therefore targeted support for them is an important part of an active lifestyle.
GALLMET Joint + Cartilage:
- Stronger bands: It specifically supports type I collagen and elastin, which build and strengthen tendons.
- Rip protection Tested on athletes – proven to maintain the strength of the Achilles tendon and ligaments even during intense training.
- Better training performance: Of the users of the active ingredients, 62% reported a significant improvement in joint comfort whilst exercising.
Gallmet Joint + Cartilage's unique formula provides maximum support for extreme stress:
Support for tendons and connective tissues during increased strain (Ovomet®) The foundation of ligaments and tendons is the I-Type I collagen and elastin. In a study conducted on CrossFit athletes, a daily dose of 300 mg of Ovomet® helped to maintain the biomechanical stability of the Achilles tendon under intense strain and showed a favourable change in subjective joint comfort, whereas in the placebo group, this deteriorated by 37.5%.10 Participants also reported an increase of 62.1% in their subjective sense of joint comfort.10
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does eggshell membrane also help with post-exercise recovery?
Yes, clinical trials have shown that Ovomet® effectively helps to protect tendons and ligaments. In CrossFit athletes, ultrasound scans have confirmed that 300 mg of eggshell membrane per day helps maintain the stability of the Achilles tendon and significantly speeds up recovery after exercise, whilst 62 of the athletes1%.10 - How does the protection of tendons and cartilage differ?
While type II collagen dominates the structure of cartilage, tendons and ligaments are made of extremely strong type I collagen and elastic elastin, which Ovomet® contains in its natural form.3, 9
