These    natural dietary supplements are used to ease joint pain and    restore mobility.  <\/p>\n<p>    Inventor Ahmad Alkayali, CEO of Certified Nutraceuticals, in    2000 patented the first process to make the substance,    Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II powdered collagen, its use in    treating cartilage defects, and the way it is administered. A    related patent followed the next year. Two other collagen    patents also are being infringed, according to the lawsuit.  <\/p>\n<p>    Certified Nutraceuticals manufactures and distribute raw    ingredients to nutraceutical and pharmaceutical companies for    use in various dietary and nutritional products. None of the    companies named in the lawsuit hold patents on any formulas or    on the processes for creating Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II, nor    do they have permission to use the patents or any other related    methods to make their collagen, the lawsuit claims.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Los Angeles Attorney Daryoosh Khashayar, of Khashyar Law Group,    filed the complaint July 11 in U.S. District Court in San    Diego. The suit seeks an injunction to stop the defendants from    producing, promoting, licensing or selling any collagen    produced by infringing Alkayalis patents. It also seeks    damages, restitution for lost income, and all profits the    companies took in as a result.  <\/p>\n<p>    Defendants named in the suit are: Nutrawise Inc., Neocell    Corp., Collagen M.D. Inc., and Darren Rude, of Orange County,    Calif.; Axe Wellness, of Tennessee; Dr. Venessas Formulas, and    Iris Trading, of Florida; Nutra Food Ingredients, of    Michigan;Mercola.comHealth Resources and Dr.    Joseph Mercola, of Illinois; Vesta Ingredients Inc., of    Indiana; Neutraceutical Corp., of Utah; and New England Greens,    LLC., of Connecticut.  <\/p>\n<p>    Certified Nutraceuticals, of Pauma Valley, in unincorporated    San Diego County, produces a full line of patented, natural    supplements that ease inflammation in joints, repair damaged    connective tissues, improve the health of skin and hair, and    boost the immune system.  <\/p>\n<p>    There are three main types of collagen. Types I and III are    primarily found in skin, tendon and bone. In contrast, Type II    is found predominantly in articular cartilage.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View post:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalproductsinsider.com\/news\/2017\/07\/patents-appropriated-for-dietary-collagen-supplements.aspx\" title=\"Patents appropriated for dietary collagen supplements - Natural Products INSIDER\">Patents appropriated for dietary collagen supplements - Natural Products INSIDER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Press Release Natural health and beauty supplement makerCertified Nutraceuticals, Inc.is suing more than a dozen rivals for employing, without permission or compensation, patented processes for manufacturing dietary collagen used to build cartilage and repair tendons.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/food-supplements\/patents-appropriated-for-dietary-collagen-supplements-natural-products-insider.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[431586],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-229053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-supplements"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229053"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229053\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
