Consuming bovine tracheal cartilage supports wound healing and immune response. It also supports joint, cartilage and connective tissue health.

The work of the late Dr. John Prudden showed that bovine tracheal cartilage had unique and powerful effects on wound healing, autoimmune conditions, joint health and several other conditions considered to be treatment resistant to conventional therapies.[1,2,3,4]
According to Dr. Prudden, bovine cartilage stimulates the immune system in certain conditions, but suppresses it in others... Thus it acts as a “normaliser” or immunoregulator to balance and regulate a health promoting response for a given stiumulus. According to Dr. Prudden, “bovine cartilage closely resembles fetal mesenchyme, the primordial tissue from which muscle, bone, tendons, ligaments, skin, fat and bone marrow (the heart of the immune system) all develop.” “The cartilage”, he adds, “contains numerous powerful molecular biodirectors.” [5]
There is a wide amount of interest in BTC for use as a natural health supplement, for glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) and Chondroitin Sulphate (CS) for gut, bone, joint and skin health. [6]

Bio-available = Maximum Nutritional Potential
Cartilage is a food that is well known to be difficult to digest. Bio-availability of NXGEN® BTC is enhanced due to a natural process of enzyme hydrolysis followed by gentle freeze drying.
Australian Premium Quality Grass Fed Freeze-drying freshly harvested cartilage preserves the unaltered proteins, enzymes and fat-soluble activators present. The tissues we use are taken only from grass fed, inspected animals, raised without the use of pesticides, hormones or antibiotics, in Australia, where mad cow disease has never occurred.
