Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M)

What is A2M?

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) is a naturally occurring protein in the body that plays a crucial role in inhibiting enzymes responsible for joint degradation. A2M Therapy involves isolating and concentrating this powerful protein to deliver targeted relief for joint-related pain and inflammation.

How Does A2M Work?

A2M Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure where the concentrated A2M solution is injected directly into the affected joint. This powerful protein acts as a natural inhibitor, neutralizing the destructive enzymes that contribute to joint degeneration. By halting the degenerative process, A2M Therapy promotes joint healing, reduces inflammation, and provides lasting relief.
