Genacol
Genacol collagen is a bioactive complex of hydrolyzed collagen created using a unique enzymatic
process called AminoLock® Sequence Technology. This unique fabrication process developed by a
division of the Genacol Group consists of improving the collagen amino acids. It is produced according to
the highest biotechnological standards and complies with all government requirements. Its efficiency has
been scientifically demonstrated in two published clinical studies (available on our website).
Genacol® is a safe substance that provides essential elements for nutritional support of the body that are
necessary to encourage the regeneration and production of collagen.
Genacol collagen has shown exceptional results in the human body when used on a regular basis.
Genacol Corporation Canada Inc. is a full range of natural health products meant to improve your
well-being, especially that of your joints. Genacol products can help you relieve osteoarthritis of the knee
or hip, back pains or those nasty little pains related to aging. We also offer topical products made up of,
among other things, Arnica montana, a medicinal plant recognized for decades for its anti-inflammatory
benefits. Genacol can also help you sleep better with Genacol Sleep and Joints which includes melatonin
to improve the length and quality of your sleep. Also, Genacol Anti-Inflammatory use curcumins, a potent

Collagen is present in all
multi-cellular organs in our body.
Collagen is the fibrous structural protein that makes up the white fibres (collagen fibres) of
skin, tendons, bones, cartilage, and all other connective tissues. It is also found widespread
in the gelatinous substances of the body to provide stiffening properties, such as in the
vitreous humor of the eye. In other words, collagen is the natural protein that constitutes
most of the body’s structural support and is the primary substance of connective tissue. It
is this fibrous connective tissue that holds our body together.
Collagen gives to different organs and tissues their strength and their resistance to
stretching. Twenty-five percent of protein in the human body and seventy-five percent
of our skin are made up of collagen. Collagen is part of the natural composition of our
tendons, ligaments, joints, muscles, hair, skin, and vital organs. When there is a lack of
collagen in the body, various structures and functions are affected. Weakness, fatigue,
aches, pain, and an overall lack of energy are the main symptoms that can be felt from a
lack of collagen. In addition, all these symptoms increase with aging.
Besides its numerous structural properties, collagen serves as a main catalyst for growth
and it participates in the repair of almost all the body’s tissues. Several diseases caused
by aging are related to a lack of this vital protein that is collagen. When there is a lack of
collagen, the risk of bad function and disease increase.
The production of collagen in the body slows down insidiously with age. It starts slowing
down around thirty and it diminishes considerably around fifty. A lack of collagen, or the
inability to use it properly in our body, participates in the early signs of aging.
acids
in
cartilage
It has been acknowledged that a hydrolyzed collagen supplement, such as Genacoll® supplies amino
acids that contribute to the production of cartilage.
Cartilage is dense and flexible connective tissue that is very rich in collagen (almost 67% of its dry
weight). It is found at the junction of several bones of the skeleton. It looks like rubber and absorbs
the impact caused by movement. It is cool-white and smooth and about 3 mm thick. There are many
kinds of cartilage; the one found in the knees or the discs between the vertebrae is very rich in fibres
and contributes to resisting friction during movement. In children, we find a growth cartilage that is later
transformed into bone, allowing the bone to lengthen.
Cartilage is a living tissue. It is comprised of cells called chondrocytes (cartilaginous cells) that undergo
production and destruction cycles to maintain the balance of cartilage. After trauma, injury or a disease
such as arthritis, destruction may override production of chondrocytes. The most common form of
arthritis is osteoarthritis, also known as “degenerative arthritis.” It is associated to a selective destruction of
cartilage cells in joints and commonly affects the hips, knees, shoulders and spine. The lack of cartilage
causes slower healing, protects less against friction between bones, which can cause pain and limit joint
mobility.
The main reasons of the selective destruction of cartilage cells are caused by two phenomena. Firstly,
the normal aging process promotes the destruction of chondrocytes and collagen is therefore reduced.
Secondly, sometimes fragments of cartilage break off and end up in the fluid of the joint. The immune
system then recognizes this and causes an inflammation and attacks the cartilage, thus promoting its
degeneration.

Ligaments are short strands of
fibrous connective tissue rich in
collagen (almost 80%), representing
an extremely solid structure with
multiple functions.
Among other functions, ligaments connect bones across joints, but they do not attach
bones to muscles, as tendons carry out this function. Certain ligaments are responsible
for joint stability, avoiding false movements. This protects the integrity of joints when there
is a sprain, and prevents dislocations when there is a forced movement (hyperflexion or
hyperextension). Notably, there is a complex system of eight ligaments that reinforces the
knee bones to form a very resistant joint capsule.
Ligaments also serve to attach several organs to the abdominal wall and join other organs
with each other, such as the stomach and the spleen.
Moreover, ligaments are very important for the action of chewing food, enabling and
facilitating the movement of teeth and jawbones. As collagen decreases with age, our
ligaments lose their resistance and their flexibility, which can cause a frequent sensation
of stiffness in our joints.
Ankles, knees and wrists are the most vulnerable joints in terms of ligament injuries and
common sprains. These are generally caused by stretching or tearing one or more joint
ligaments.
The major symptoms of a sprain are pain, swelling and difficulty to move the joint.

osteoarthritis and melatonin to help improve the quality and length of sleep, Genacol Sleep, will
definitely help you sleep better.
The consequences of a lack of sleep on our health are many and well documented over a period of several
years. The body and spirit need this restful break during the night to assimilate and classify all of the new
notions and information received during the day. Furthermore, a lack of sleep can cause several serious
problems including: irritability, careless mistakes, concentration problems, slow reaction time and increased
stress levels.
Nearly 25% of Canadians suffer from insomnia and 10% suffer from osteoarthritis.
We recommend Genacol Sleep for people who:
• have sleep problems;
• have light non-restorative sleep;
• have sleep problems due to jet lag;
• have variable work hours;
• suffer from joint pain or osteoarthritis (knees, hips, fingers, etc.);
• have a disease that causes inflammation of the joints;
• have a sports related injury.
