This product was formerly named as NatCell FlexCell. Xtra-Cell Joint Support is the same product re-named and re-packaged.
Xtra-Cell Joint Support, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is an innovative frozen liquid extract consisting of selected proteins, peptides and other growth factors and signaling molecules obtained from porcine mesenchyme tissue, as well as a specialized marine liquid cartilage extract.*
Xtra-Cell Joint Support is manufactured and purified via a patented low temperature process that involves homogenization, fractionation, and ultrafiltration of porcine and marine tissues. The molecules present in this product are selected based on their size and molecular weight, and are isolated in their native state. Compounds found in the mesenchyme are typically less than 50,000 Daltons, while the compounds present in the marine cartilage extract are less than 500,000 Daltons. Once the molecules are selected, the liquid is aseptically bottled and flash-frozen without preservatives to ensure optimal potency, freshness and bioavailability. This process can be applied to different starting materials, allowing for the creation of liquid extracts that are targeted for specific applications. The extracts created from these tissues are highly bioavailable and of the highest quality available.*
Mesenchyme is embryonic connective tissue composed of pluripotent cells, or cells that are undifferentiated and have the ability to evolve into almost any type of cell. The mesenchyme tissue used in Xtra-Cell Joint Support is obtained from embryonic fetal porcine tissue from which cellular growth factors and other signaling molecules are extracted. In vitro data have shown that the components present in the mesenchyme extract can increase cellular metabolism as demonstrated by an increase in fibroblast mitochondrial activity without affecting cellular proliferation. The growth and signaling factors present in mesenchyme can also function to help support proper joint and connective tissue function.*
Due to the presence of peptides and other signaling factors present in liquid cartilage extract (LCE), it may help to maintain the structure and function of the extracellular matrix as well as support joint and connective tissues. Compounds present in LCE can help to support the proper activity of a family of zinc-dependent enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).* Specifically, MMP-2 MMP-9, and MMP-12 (also know as gelatinase A gelatinase B, and metalloelastase, respectively) have been shown to be involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix as well as the breakdown of vascular basement membranes and cartilage. LCE can support healthy MMP activity, which may in turn help support healthy joint function.*
This product ships in a Styrofoam container with dry ice.

Special Shipping Information for frozen products including Xtra-Cell, NatCell Whole Extracts, Wrist Right Gel, PEANrich, Immune Prime and any other frozen product.Due to the fact these products are FROZEN and require special, individual handling and frozen shipment in order to ensure its potency and absorbability, our standard $5.40 shipping rate and free shipping offer does not apply. The cost of shipping within the 48 contiguous states is $50.00 for the first frozen item (for example: one box of Xtra-Cell Comitris). Each additional frozen item will incur a $9.00 increase in the total shipping fee (for example: the shipping fee for two boxes of Xtra-Cell Comitris would be $59.00). The cost of shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and US territiories, as well as Canada and United Kingdom, varies and will be clearly shown in our Shopping Cart once you provide your geographic location. ALL FROZEN PRODUCTS WILL REQUIRE A SIGNATURE UPON DELIVERY. See our Frozen Shipping Policy page for more details on this shipping methods. |
