What New Research Says About Cartilage Regeneration and Joint Longevity

May 5, 2025

Kiran Krishnan, a research microbiologist and co-founder of Microbiome Labs, dives into groundbreaking findings on cartilage regeneration. He discusses a natural combination of boswellia and celery seed extract that showed impressive results in osteoarthritis patients, boosting mobility and reducing pain. The clinical trials revealed significant markers of cartilage repair and a reduced need for traditional medications. Kiran emphasizes the vital connection between gut health and joint wellness, paving the way for innovative approaches to long-term joint health.

INSIGHT

Balance in Tissue Degeneration & Regeneration

Healthy aging depends on balancing tissue degeneration and regeneration.
Cartagenix's celery seed and boswellia extracts help restore this balance in joints.

ANECDOTE

Celery Seed Extract Development Story

P&G researched celery seed extract for natural anti-inflammatory use in animals but stopped after 9/11.
A team in India continued the work, turning it into a successful human product for joint pain.

INSIGHT

Unique Boswellia Bioactive: Seretol

Boswellia contains a unique compound, seretol, with anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration effects.
Standard Boswellia products lack this tissue-repairing bioactive, making Cartagenix unique.

What if a human trial of over 1200 patients showed improved mobility and reduced pain in osteoarthritis (OA) patients using a natural combination of boswellia and celery seed extract? What if a second follow-up randomized, placebo-controlled human trial found that within 90 days, this same combination increased OA patients' ability to perform a walk test by over 50%, reduced markers of cartilage degeneration by half and increased markers of cartilage regeneration by half. This is what the research team at Calroy Health Sciences have discovered, putting a tremendous amount of work and financing into studying the effects of the uniquely-developed Cartigenix-HP. Not only that, increased joint space at the end of the trial was clearly visible via radiography, and 90% of the intervention group did not need any "rescue" pharmaceutical medication at the end of the 90 day period (compared with only 20% of the placebo group) and this effect was sustained beyond the end of the trial. I have to say, I am impressed and excited about the potential for this new product to help my patients and I am thinking about other applications like OA prevention and osteoporosis!
