- Complex formula with Helix aspersa snail extract and hydrolysed bovine collagen
- Contains 4 active ingredients in one capsule
- Designed to support the joints, tendons and overall functional condition of the body
Motus is a complex food supplement developed for people looking for a comprehensive formula to support the joints, tendons, connective tissue and the body's overall functional condition.
The formula combines four different components - dry snail mucus extract from Helix aspersa, hydrolysed bovine collagen, L-arginine and chicory inulin. Each of them has its own characteristics and role in the body, while their combination makes Motus a distinctive product for daily nutritional support.
Developed by a Bulgarian scientific team - Motus was developed by a scientific team led by Corresponding Member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Albert Krastanov, DSc, from the University of Food Technologies - Plovdiv. The formula combines Helix aspersa snail mucus extract, hydrolysed bovine collagen, L-arginine and inulin in one convenient capsule.
What is Motus?
Motus combines collagen, snail extract, L-arginine and inulin in a single capsule - four components with different compositions and functions.
Hydrolysed bovine collagen provides collagen peptides and amino acids characteristic of the structural proteins of connective tissue. Helix aspersa snail mucus extract is the distinctive component of the formula, while L-arginine and inulin complement the formula with an amino acid and a prebiotic component.
In this way, Motus offers a comprehensive approach to nutritional support for the joints, connective tissue and the body's overall functional condition.
Four components in one comprehensive formula:
- Dry Helix aspersa snail mucus extract - 100 mg per capsule and the distinctive component of the formula.
- Hydrolysed bovine collagen - 150 mg per capsule, providing collagen peptides and amino acids.
- L-arginine - 50 mg per capsule, an amino acid involved in the body's natural processes of nitric oxide production.
- Chicory inulin - 150 mg per capsule, a prebiotic component associated with the nourishment and maintenance of certain members of the gut microbiota.
Helix aspersa snail mucus extract:
One of the most interesting features of Motus is its content of dry snail mucus extract from Helix aspersa. Snail mucus is a complex natural substance containing various proteins, glycoproteins, mucopolysaccharides, mineral components and other biologically active substances.
The composition of snail mucus is of scientific interest, including because of the presence of various protein and polysaccharide components. Research into snail mucus has investigated a range of its biological properties, including its potential interactions with tissues and mucous membranes.
In Motus, Helix aspersa extract is combined with hydrolysed collagen, L-arginine and inulin, making it the key distinctive component of the formula.
Hydrolysed bovine collagen - a building block for connective tissue:
Collagen is a major structural protein in the human body and is found in various tissues, including cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin and bones.
Hydrolysed collagen is a pre-digested form of collagen in which the protein molecules have been broken down into smaller peptides. This makes it convenient to take as a food supplement and provides amino acids characteristic of collagen, including glycine and proline.
Collagen peptides have been the subject of numerous scientific studies in relation to joint comfort and function. Clinical studies and meta-analyses in people with osteoarthritis indicate potential benefits for certain measures related to joint pain and function, although results depend on the type of collagen, dosage and duration of intake.
In Motus, hydrolysed bovine collagen is combined with snail extract and the other components of the formula.
L-arginine - an amino acid with an important role in the body:
L-arginine is an amino acid involved in a number of natural metabolic processes. It serves as a substrate for the production of nitric oxide - a molecule involved in regulating vascular tone and the dilation of blood vessels.
Because of this role, arginine has been studied in relation to blood circulation and blood vessel function. However, findings from clinical studies are not consistent across all groups of people, and different doses and durations of intake may produce different results.
In Motus, L-arginine is included as a complementary component of the comprehensive formula.
Chicory inulin - the prebiotic component:
Inulin is a naturally occurring type of soluble dietary fibre found in various plants and widely extracted from chicory roots. It is classified as a prebiotic substrate because it can be utilised by certain microorganisms in the large intestine.
Scientific research shows that inulin and other chicory-derived inulin-type fructans can influence the composition of the gut microbiota, with the most consistently observed effect being an increase in bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium.
Inulin complements the Motus formula with a prebiotic component and provides a different mode of action compared with the other ingredients.
A comprehensive formula for joints and connective tissue
Motus was developed to combine several different components associated with important processes in the body:
- Collagen - a structural protein characteristic of connective tissue.
- Helix aspersa snail extract - a distinctive natural component of the formula.
- L-arginine - an amino acid involved in the natural production of nitric oxide.
- Inulin - a prebiotic component associated with the gut microbiota.
This combination makes Motus different from standard joint products based solely on collagen or other single ingredients.
Why is the combination of ingredients interesting?
Motus brings together components with different origins and different functions. Collagen provides collagen peptides and amino acids, snail extract adds a complex natural ingredient, L-arginine participates in processes related to nitric oxide, while inulin complements the formula with a prebiotic component.
Rather than focusing on a single ingredient, the formula combines these four components in one convenient capsule for daily use.
Purpose:
Thanks to its innovative formula, MOTUS is highly beneficial for:
- strengthening joint cartilage and tendons;
- improving joint and ligament mobility;
- supporting people experiencing lower back and spinal discomfort;
- improving blood flow and circulation;
- faster recovery following injuries;
- providing building blocks for growth and maintaining a healthy body;
- supporting healthy hair and nails;
- slowing the ageing process;
- improving athletic performance;
- reducing excess body weight;
- supporting the immune system and the body's overall functional condition.
