Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) is a protein found in blood plasma that plays a role in controlling inflammation and protecting cartilage from degradation. Injections of A2M are used to target inflammation and degradation in joints affected by conditions like osteoarthritis. By neutralizing certain enzymes that contribute to cartilage breakdown, A2M injections can potentially slow down the progression of joint damage and alleviate associated pain.

Vitamin B12, on the other hand, is a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. Deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to nerve damage and neuropathy, which may contribute to foot pain, particularly in conditions like diabetic neuropathy. Injections of Vitamin B12 can help replenish deficient levels, potentially reducing nerve-related pain and discomfort.

When a patient suffers from arthritis, chemicals that destroy cartilage called Catabolic Proteases, break down the joint until all cartilage disappears completely, resulting in painful friction of bones rubbing together. A2M halts the progression of osteoarthritis by inactivating and eliminating Catabolic Proteases. Once joint inflammation is subdued, A2M remaining in the joint will promote cartilage tissue growth to restore the joint and reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness.

A2M will relieve pain and halt the progression of osteoarthritis in most patients. The regenerative process will work to rebuild healthy joints, allowing you to return to your active lifestyles with no downtime or adverse harmful effects. One injection could last longer than a year and injections can be repeated without any detrimental side effects commonly associated with corticosteroid injections.
