FACTS Our tendons... Our body’s rubber bands By observing the diagram of the human body on this page, we can easily recognize all the space that our muscles, ligaments and tendons occupy. The tendon is composed of thick, white fibres of collagen that are held tightly against one another. These fibres are made up in large part by collagen. Our ligaments act like a connection between the bones. Our tendons act like ties to our internal structure for our muscles and our bones. The tendons and the ligaments of our body act like rubber bands of different sizes. Since our tendons are used to bind our musculature to our bones, and to maintain elasticity and suppleness, our tendons necessitate a large amount of collagen, particularly after an injury or from aging.

BEWARE
OF IMITATIONS
Why collagen is important? In the composition of cartilage we find 67% of collagen versus 1% of glucosamine. Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide contrary to collagen which is a molecular complex containing amino acids. Glucosamine is found in interesting quantities only in the liquid of the synovial membrane. Collagen is also found in the synovial membrane but in larger quantities because the protein structure is more abundant in the body. Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints while collagen helps the tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, membranes and synovial liquid (lubrification).

“My wife and I have for years thought about buying a ‘hospital bed’ so we can contour the bed to any position we like. We thought these were only sold to hospitals. When we saw the Solax advertisment in the newspaper, we dropped in the next day and met a most friendly and informed staff by the name of Winston. We have had the beds (twin-single) for more than 2 years and they have been working perfectly.” - Mr. Alec Chew, Retiree

“I purchased a super-single solax adjustable bed for my mother six months ago. I am very happy with this product. The firm mattress is lovely in that it provides support to the spine and yet with just a touch to the controls, it can be moved into many different positions for my mother. The friendly after sales service offered by Winston encourages me to recommend Solax to any of my friends who are looking for an adjustable bed.” - Mrs. Sarah Turner, Homemaker
