Liquid Bovine Tracheal Cartilage
Bovine trachea is composed almost exclusively of cartilage, and liquefied tracheal cartilage represents a useful source of this tissue. Liquid Bovine Tracheal Cartilage (LBTC) has been demonstrated to have potent action in a variety of therapeutic uses, the main ones being in the treatment of immune dysfunction and connective tissue injuries/weakness.
Clinical Applications
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Wound healing
Post-surgery
Post-trauma
Autoimmune diseases
Rheumatoid arthritis
Ankylosing spondylitis
Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE)
Inflammatory conditions
Psoriasis
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Dermatitis
Pruritis
Alveolitis
Gout
Repetitive Strain Injury
Immunity regulation
Cancer Inhibition
Wound healing
Cartilaginous tissue is known to consist of various factors including chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, hexosamine, assumed that the chondroitin sulphate fractions were the active agents, however, recent research shows that the long chain molecules, of which cartilage is composed, are probably responsible3 . Whatever the action, there is no doubt that osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, pelvic inflammatory disease, dermatitis, pruritis, alveolitis, gout, RSI and non-specific inflammatory muscular problems all respond with high rates of success4.
Restoring cartilage integrity within a joint is obviously beneficial in degenerative joint disease and bovine cartilage supplementation is the most relevant and effective means of nourishing this tissue and resolving the degeneration of the weight bearing surfaces.
Autoimmune Diseases
Bovine tracheal cartilage supplementation has been shown to have immune regulating properties.5 The bovine tracheal cartilage is therefore useful in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and systemic lupus erythematosis.
Digestive system
Bovine tracheal cartilage’s anti-inflammatory effects make it especially useful for joint disorders, however it has also been shown to be very effective in inflammatory conditions of the gut. These conditions include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis which respond well to oral liquid bovine tracheal cartilage.6
Summary
Liquefied bovine tracheal cartilage is a very exciting therapeutic tool for conditions which typically take some time to respond, and for which there are few therapeutic items currently available. It has a diverse range of treatment applications, including arthritis, inflammation conditions, wound healing and autoimmune conditions. Both oral and topical application of liquid cartilage will enhance healing of connective tissue and resolve inflammatory conditions.

Bovine Cartilage stimulates the production of B-Lymphocytes and through inhibition of the process of angionesis Bovine Tracheal Cartilage inhibits some types of cancer Including: the regression or remission of some cases of Breast cancer, and causing the regression of the cancerous cells involved in Cervical cancer [documented cases exist of total regression of Cervical cancer without recurrence after eight years]. Bovine Tracheal Cartilage has been successful in the treatment of some cases of Kidney cancer, Ovarian cancer, Pancreatic cancer, Prostate cancer, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Gliablastoma, and Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.
