■ Proteoglycan
Excluding water, cartilage is composed of approximately 90% "proteoglycan" and "Type II collagen." While you may have often heard of ingredients like "glucosamine" and "chondroitin" in joint supplements, they are merely components that make up a part of "proteoglycan." Unlike these ingredients, "proteoglycan," the main component that constitutes cartilage itself, is a cartilage ingredient with excellent elasticity and water retention due to its unique shape and water-attracting properties.

■ Type II Collagen
Excluding water, the most abundant component of cartilage is "Type II collagen." It serves as the foundational component that supports cartilage and also plays a role in retaining nutrients. "Hokkoku no Megumi" is formulated with proteoglycan and Type II collagen in an optimal balance based on various research results.

■ Abundant Support Ingredients Beyond Cartilage Components
In addition to "proteoglycan" and "Type II collagen," "Hokkoku no Megumi" also contains "hyaluronic acid," one of the cartilage components, and "chicken extract" containing "imidazole dipeptide," which is gaining attention as a muscle component. Imidazole dipeptide is an animal muscle component found in abundance in the base of migratory bird wings, supporting daily health.
