Soy and Avocado Unsaponifiables

Scientific studies have highlighted the unsaponifiables of avocado and soy oil for their role against arthritic pain and joint inflammation.

The term unsaponifiable refers to the part of a fat that does not turn into soap and remains insoluble in water but is soluble in another solvent.
This fraction represents, on average, from 0.2 to 2% of an oil.

However, analyses have shown that these unsaponifiables contain sterols, tocopherols and pigments that may have interesting therapeutic activity.
Thus, scientific studies have highlighted the unsaponifiables of avocado and soy oil for their role against arthritic pain and joint inflammation.

Phytosterols indeed have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant properties.
Moreover, these substances stimulate the synthesis of certain molecules which, by combining chondroitin, keratan sulfate and hyaluronic acid, form cartilage. Soy unsaponifiables, for their part, have the ability to inhibit certain enzymes responsible for cartilage destruction or inflammation.
One can then understand the interest of these unsaponifiables for the flexibility and health of our joints.

High-quality scientific studies have also confirmed this by demonstrating that supplementation with avocado and soy unsaponifiables allowed a reduction in the consumption of or replacement of synthetic anti-inflammatories.
The use of unsaponifiables has also produced beneficial results in cases of gingivitis.
To be effective, the proportion of soy to avocado must be two to one respectively.
It is of course possible to combine soy and avocado unsaponifiables with the intake of cartilage nutrients such as chondroitin and glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and collagen.

These fats, which are the unsaponifiables, therefore help to preserve our joint capital; do not hesitate to use them preventively as well as curatively.
