Is snail protein the answer to arthritis problems?

What is arthritis?

Your joints are aching? Well, it's probably because you're suffering from arthritis! Arthritis is an illness due to wear and tear on the cartilage. The first symptoms appear between the age of 40 and 50. But in some rare cases, like right after a trauma, young people can suffer from arthritis too. Fingers, knees, shoulders, hips, ankles and even the spine can affected by this illness. As arthrosis progresses, pain occurs at the slightest movement of the affected joint, until it arises even at rest. It can cause swelling, stiffness or even bones distortion.

Snail and arthritis: what do the studies say?

On the web, we found more and more food supplement containing snail protein and selling how good they are against arthritis; should you mistrust these pills? In ads, snail slime seems to be the perfect answer to fight arthritis thanks to its main actives full of benefits. Snail mucin could reduce the pain caused by arthritis and get your metabolims in to shape quickly. 

However, no study can totally prove this claim. The French consumer protection union has set a warning towards some ads such as Flexforte that pretend their supplement is as powerful as medicine. 

And if it's not proven it can fight arthritis by itself, combined with other nature-originated powerful anti-arthrosic snail protein can work wonder. 

Snail protein: a proven effectiveness in the cosmetics industry!

If snail protein doesn't seem to work on arthritis, it actually has proven benefits for the skin! Enriched in actives like allantoin, collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, snail secretion filtrate helps cell regeneration and improves the skin firmness on both face and neck. Snail slime benefits were discovered in the 80's in Chile by Fernando Bascunan Ygualt, snail breeder. He noticed that its employees' skin was as soft and silky as never before. They had to take care of the snails and they ended up covered in slime everyday. 

Besides the softness snail slime provided the skin, Fernando also noticed it could heal scars, stretch marks and fill wrinkle. 

He finally rediscovered a beauty secret used in Antiquity and by the Mapuche tribe. 

After having completed several studies in a Laboratory, they found out snail slime from Chile contains allantoin, collagen, elastin, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, peptides and many more powerful actives called snail protein. Used in cosmetics products, snail protein has huge regenerating, repairing and anti-aging powers. Furthermore, it heals all kind of skin problems such as acne scars, streched scars, dark spots, fine lines and redness. 

To be fully effective, the snail cream must contain a high percentage of snail secretion filtrate. Caracol Skincare products have an average percentage of 73% of snail slime. And it can reach 85,2% in specific cosmetics : a RECORD in the dermocosmetics industry!

Why Chile?

Chile is the first country ever that has created snail cosmetics. And it was scientifically proven that Chilean snails, also called Helix Aspersa Muller, have more actives in their slime than other species. Mainly because of the rich and lush Patagonia forest. 

You'll get it, snail slime doesn't pretend to be a total healer of all human diseases, but it can improve the quality of your skin and help you fight the signs of aging. With the highest percentage of the industry, you can definitely trust Caracol Skincare!
