What are the most important studies on collagen hydrolysate?
Furthermore Prof. Roland Moskowitz, Director of the Arthritis Research Institute, Cleveland/USA conducted an international study (USA; UK; Germany) with 390 patients suffering from osteoarthritis. The most extensive research was carried out by Prof. Milan Adam, Professor of Rheumatology at the University of Prague, which led to the issue of a European patent, No 0254289 Agents for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Both studies reveal the positive effects of collagen hydrolysate on joint health, especially on osteoarthritis. Dr Steffen Oesser, physiologist at the University of Kiel, Germany published key studies on cartilage metabolism and regeneration; his latest publication (Cell & Tissue Research 311: 393-9; March 2003) demonstrates the stimulatory effect of collagen hydrolysate on collagen biosynthesis.
