Hydroxytyrosol From Olives Is Found to Promote Cartilage Repair and Regeneration

In our series of articles on arthritis so far, we reviewed scientific and medical research on the major categories of natural therapeutic supplementation in the market. Glucosamine and chondroitin remains the most popular choice. However there is growing evidence that not everyone benefits from glucosamine and chondroitin. Scientist are working to find alternatives.

Without repeating ourselves here, you can read our previous articles on this subject in the following links:

• Treating Arthritis: OTC Supplements vs Prescription Medications
• When Glucosamine and Chondroitin Does Not Work for You…
• Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Arthritis: Benefit is Unlikely
• Are There Alternatives to Glucosamine and Chondroitin Therapy (GCT) for Arthritis?

Today, we will share with you a set of new scientific work showing that hydroxytyrosol (the active ingredient in OLIVENOL livin’) is not just effective as an anti-inflammatory agent, it also plays and extended role in cartilage health of arthritis patients.  The study present data showing hydroxytyrosol, when used in combination with glucosamine and chondroitin, actually promotes and accelerate cartilage repair and regeneration.

If you do a google on the key words “hydroxytyrosol cartilage repair”  you will find TWO sets of patent applications (on TOP) and other references on this subject.  You can download the paper to read the scientific basis and medical data supporting the claims that hydroxytyrosol promotes cartilage repair.

For the benefit of those less incline to go through 18 pages of  medical jargons, we have clipped the key summary from that paper here:

…it has been found that hydroxytyrosol is effective in inducing or enhancing the proliferation of chondrocytes, stimulating the proliferation of cartilage cells and increasing their production of extracellular matrix components which as a consequence promotes cartilage repair and regeneration. Thus, hydroxytyrosol is useful for maintaining cartilage health, inducing or enhancing cartilage repair or cartilage regeneration as well as for treating cartilage lesions in joints of an animal including humans in particular in people with an active life style, sports people and obese subjects.

On dosage and combination therapy, the paper recommends:

A composition comprising on a daily dosage basis:

• approximately 800 – 1200 mg glucosamine, preferably 1000mg,
• approximately 600-1000 mg chondroitin sulfate, preferably 800mg,
• approximately 200-600 mg of PUFA’s, in particular EPA and DHA, preferably 400 mg,
• approximately 5 to 20 mg of Hydroxytyrosol, preferably 10 mg and
• 15-50 IU vitamin E, preferably 30 IU.

This is encouraging news to the large population of arthritis sufferers who are getting unsatisfactory results from glucosamine-chondroitin therapy (GCT).  It is now shown that adding a daily dose of hydroxytyrosol to your current regime of GCT may make a significant difference to your condition.
