Cellular Medicine in Other Disorders

Health is determined by the function of millions of cells composing the human body. The most frequent cause of cellular malfunction is a chronic deficiency of essential nutrients in the form of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and trace elements.

The majority of the body's proteins are composed of collagen, elastin, and other connective tissue components. Their production is regulated by vitamin C and the amino acids lysine and proline, which the body does not produce.

Cellular Medicine identifies the optimum daily intake of these and other essential nutrients needed for health, and the application of this knowledge will reduce the incidence of heart disease, cancer, degenerative diseases and other serious health conditions.

The processes of cartilage erosion and synovial inflammation associated with osteoarthritis are thought to result from increased MMP expression by chondrocytes. The synergistic inhibitory effects of the nutrient mixture of lysine, proline, ascorbic acid and epigallocatechin gallate (from green tea extract) on human chondrocyte MMP-2 expression and matrix invasion without cell toxicity demonstrated in this study suggest that this nutrient combination has potential as an anti-inflammatory agent for safe, natural therapeutic use in osteoarthritis.

Nutrient Synergy has been shown in previous studies to have potent anti-metastatic activity. To address safety issues, our research team studied the effect of feeding different levels of this nutrient mixture for seven days on the clinical chemistry of adult female ODS rats, such as functional serum enzymes of the liver, heart, and kidney, as well as lipid profile and histopathology. Study results demonstrate that not only is Nutrient Synergy safe at higher doses, but also is associated with improved cellular functions in various organs in the body.
