Bio-Human Matrix
A holistic guide to understanding, supporting and repairing your joints.
Understanding
Joints are where bones meet, cushioned by cartilage and lubricated by synovial fluid. Tendons connect muscle to bone; ligaments connect bone to bone. Healthy joints need collagen, hyaluronic acid, movement, and anti-inflammatory foods. "Motion is lotion"—joints that don't move, stiffen and degrade.
