Hylastin
Purity Products
Overview
Hylastin combines several ingredients known for their roles in skin and joint health. BioCell Collagen II, containing hydrolyzed collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid, is a well-researched complex for these benefits. The inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids, Boswellia serrata extract, and various antioxidants adds a comprehensive approach to combating inflammation and oxidative stress. However, some individual ingredient doses for secondary benefits may not be optimal, and titanium dioxide and carmine provide no functional benefit, while also raising safety concerns.
The Good
Utilizes BioCell Collagen II complex (hydrolyzed collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid) which is clinically studied for joint comfort and skin health benefits.
Contains omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) known for anti-inflammatory properties, supporting overall health.
Includes Boswellia serrata extract (5-Loxin®), an ingredient recognized for its anti-inflammatory effects in joint health.
The Bad
Inclusion of non-functional excipients like Titanium Dioxide and Carmine raises safety concerns due to potential genotoxicity (TiO2) and allergenicity (Carmine).
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) and Boswellia serrata extract are provided at doses below what is typically considered optimal for significant therapeutic effects.
Magnesium content (7mg) is substantially underdosed for any meaningful physiological benefit beyond minimal dietary intake.
