FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
REPARAGEN
What is Reparagen?
Reparagen is a dietary supplement made up of two patented plant extracts (aka concentrates), Vincaria and RNI 249.
- Vincaria is made from a commonly available vine from the Amazonian Rainforest and RNI 249 from a turnip-like potato found only in the Andean Mountains. Both are processed to concentrate only their active components.
How does Reparagen work?
Vincaria regulates an “overactive” gene that causes thirty different types of inflammation, such as those common to compromised joint health due to arthritis and injury. RNI 249 increases the production of a natural repair factor in your body that decreases with aging. This repair factor (aka IGF) is responsible for repairing and rebuilding damaged cartilage and joints as well as the muscles that support bones and joints. So Reparagen addresses both the symptoms as well as the cause of joint and cartilage dysfunction.
Is there any proof (clinical studies) that Reparagen works?
Of course:
- Vincaria was the subject of a separate peer-reviewed and published clinical trial, the Vincaria Unum in Die (once-a-day) Efficacy [VUIDE (pronounced “VIDE”)] trial. A single 100 milligram daily dose was shown to be an effective treatment for over 92% of the participants with confirmed osteoarthritis within five (5) days as compared to the placebo group;
- RNI 249 was shown to increase cartilage repair factor, normalize and repair arthritic cartilage tissue; and,
- Reparagen itself was the subject of a multicenter clinical trial in which 94% of the subjects taking Reparagen experienced a significant reduction in pain thus took less relief medication (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) as compared to glucosamine.
Is Reparagen Safe?
Each component of Reparagen, Vincaria and RNI 249, as well as Reparagen itself, have been independently tested for both acute and sub-acute safety. All received a GHS (Global Harmonized System) Level 5 rating or “unclassified,” recognized in the pharmaceutical industry as the highest safety level available.
- This means that you would have to take SEVEN HUNDRED TIMES the recommend and clinically effective dose, 1400 capsules at one time, in order for there to be any safety concerns.
Can I take Reparagen if I am currently taking _____?
YES. As with any dietary supplement, you should consult with your health care provider before use but there are no known interactions or side-effects when taking Reparagen with any prescription or over-the-counter drug or other dietary supplement.
- As a matter of fact, laboratory tests have shown that Reparagen can protect your stomach from some of the harmful effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin or ibuprofen.
Should I take Reparagen…
It is not necessary to take Reparagen with meals as it does not upset the stomach or need food to help it be absorbed.
- …in the morning and at night?
You can take the capsules together or separately, at any time during the day, as long as you take it every day.
You can but why would you want to? While both are building blocks of joints and cartilage, Reparagen was shown to be a clinically effective “stand alone treatment” – and worked better than Glucosamine.
After my discomfort disappears and I regain full range of mobility, can I stop taking Reparagen?
If there is an underlying or continued reason for the joint stiffness and discomfort, such as seen with athletes (active lifestyle), aging or an old injury, then continued use is advisable.
If there is still discomfort and limited mobility when taking Reparagen, can I increase the dose?
Certainly: Reparagen is extremely safe so even 4-6 capsules initially may be required. Also, only 94% of the clinical trial participants responded to Reparagen. It would be unfortunate but you could be one of the 6% of people for whom Reparagen may not work and thus, the reason for our money-back guarantee.
If I have an injury, could Reparagen help?
YES. Reparagen has been shown to facilitate the repair process associated with injuries as well as with some inflammatory disorders.
Can I give Reparagen to my dog/cat who as bad joints?
YES. Many, many people have found that Reparagen provides incredible benefits for joint problems, injuries and arthritis in dogs, cats and horses etc.
I received a bottle of Reparagen with an expiration date of 5/11. Can I still take it?
Yes. Although the bottle you received has a date of 5/11 printed on it, the product is laboratory tested to have a shelf life of three years. This batch was produced on 5/09 and is actually good through 5/12.

REPARAGEN PRO
What is Reparagen Pro?
Reparagen Pro is a dietary supplement made up of two patented plant extracts (aka concentrates), Vincaria, RNI 249, and Progrado.
- • Vincaria is made from a commonly available vine from the Amazonian Rainforest, RNI 249 from a turnip-like potato found only in the Andean Mountains; and Progrado from the sap of a tree from the Amazon Rainforest. All are processed to concentrate only their active components.
How does Reparagen Pro work?
Vincaria regulates an “overactive” gene that causes thirty different types of inflammation, such as those common to compromised joint health due to arthritis and injury. RNI 249 increases the production of a natural repair factor in your body that decreases with aging. This repair factor (aka IGF) is responsible for repairing and rebuilding damaged cartilage and joints as well as the muscles that support bones and joints. So Reparagen addresses both the symptoms as well as the cause of joint and cartilage dysfunction.

- Reparagen itself was the subject of a multicenter clinical trial in which 94% of the subjects taking Reparagen experienced a significant reduction in pain thus took less relief medication (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) as compared to glucosamine.
- The addition of Progrado adds even more power to the already effective Reparagen Formula. Progrado has been shown to support healthy MMP function in human cells. MMP enzymes act as biological “scissors” to cut-up cartilage and are responsible for its normal degradation.
Is Reparagen Pro safe? Can I take it with other supplements or medications?
Yes – Reparagen Pro has received the highest safety rating available in the pharmaceutical industry.
As with any dietary supplement, you should consult with your health care provider before use but there are no known interactions or side-effects when taking Reparagen Pro with any prescription or over-the-counter drug or other dietary supplement.

Reparagen Pro can be taken whenever is convenient for you. It does not have to be taken with meals.
Are the products safe?
Yes. Each component in our products – Vincaria, RNI-249, Progrado (as well as Reparagen itself) - has been independently tested for both acute and sub-acute safety. All received a Global Harmonized System “Level 5” rating or “unclassified,” recognized in the pharmaceutical industry as the highest safety level available. This means that you would have to take seven hundred times the recommend and clinically effective dose, 1400 capsules at one time, in order for there to be any safety concerns.
Are there any allergic reactions to your products?
No. As they do not contain glucosamine, there is no reaction to those allergic to shellfish. However, RNI 249 is derived from a tuber in the broccoli family so although never reported, there is a slight chance that if you are allergic to broccoli, you may be allergic to either Reparagen or Reparagen Pro.
Can I take the products if I am currently taking _____?
Yes. There are no known interactions or side-effects when taking our products with any prescription or over-the-counter drug or other dietary supplement and none have been reported. However, as with any dietary supplement, you should consult with your health care provider before use.
Should I take it…
• …with meals?
It is not necessary to take the products with meals as it does not upset the stomach or need food to help it be absorbed.
• …in the morning and/or at night?
You can take the capsules together or separately, at any time during the day, as long as you take it every day.
I take Glucosamine and/or Chondroitin sulfate. Can/should I take this with your products?
You can but why would you want to? While both are building blocks of joints and cartilage, Reparagen was shown to be a clinically effective “stand alone treatment” – and worked better than Glucosamine sulfate.
After I regain my full range of mobility and flexibility, can I stop taking your products?
If there is an underlying or continued reason for the joint stiffness and limited mobility, such as seen with athletes (or “weekend warrior’s with an active lifestyle) or with normal aging, then continued use is advisable.
If there is still limited mobility and flexibility after taking your product, can I increase the dose?
Certainly: Remember, 9 out of 10 clinical trial participants taking Vinicol and 93% of clinical trial participants taking Reparagen experienced significant benefit. Therefore, as in any clinical trial, for some, it did not. The products are safe so even doubling the suggested dose initially may be required. It would be unfortunate but you could be one of the few people for whom the products may not work and this is the reason for our money-back guarantee.
Can I give your products to my dog or cat who my veterinarian has confirmed has compromised mobility due to their age?
Yes. Although “tested” in humans, many of our customers have found that our products provide incredible benefits for dogs, cats and even horses.
