What are the proteins contained in Ostinol™ brand products?
The biologically active proteins contained in Ostinol™ are Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) in a partially hydrolyzed collagen base. BMPs were first discovered in the early 1960’s by Dr. Marshall Urist, an orthopedic surgeon at UCLA, who discovered that these proteins stimulate cells responsible for growing bone (osteoblasts) and cartilage (chondrocytes). Since their discovery there have been thousands of studies published supporting the role of BMPs in the formation, repair, and homeostasis of bone and cartilage. .
