Naticol®: your partner in joint comfort
The health of our joints plays a key role in maintaining a good quality of life. It is therefore essential to take care of them. Discover the benefits of Naticol® in relation to joint comfort.
Understanding the “joint health” market
Joint health is among the main reasons for taking food supplements. In the US, vitamins and supplements increase by 3.5% each year in dollar percent growth¹. The main target customers are athletes, overweight people, seniors, and those who have experienced a loss of mobility.
To help solve these problems there are a diverse array of solutions available on the market. Combinations of in & out solutions are available: food supplements together with external medical devices and thermal applications.
Collagen plays an important role in joint health, ensuring flexibility and the maintenance of cartilage. Its reduction can lead to wear and tear of the joints, which impact mobility.
It is therefore essential to compensate for this lack of collagen through supplementation.
Common joint problems
Joint discomfort is a regular occurrence. 93% of French people experience it² and it increases with age³ due in large part to a diminution in the physiological process of collagen production. This leads to a decrease in physical performance and therefore in quality of life.
Individuals can get stuck in the vicious circle of a sedentary lifestyle: The state of the joints makes physical activity more difficult, which in turn further exacerbates the phenomenon due to a lack of movement. This also increases the risk of being overweight and of associated metabolic disorders. Hence the importance of maintaining good joint health.
