Galactolipids Lab

Occasional joint discomfort, such as after yard work or a game of tennis, can happen when neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, migrate into delicate tissues around joints. Therefore, the quest for long-term joint health needs to focus on inflammation, or chemotaxis. Years ago, scientists began finding a connection between galactolipids, a naturally-occurring component of rose hip, and physiology around joint health, including neutrophil migration and cartilage and collagen production. GOPO® Rosehip with Galactolipids is thought to play a valuable role in the care of joint tissues, including stabilizing neutrophil membranes and reducing their migration into tissues. As well, GOPO’s powerful antioxidants combat free radicals that result during chemotaxis.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell and part of your immune system.
