Personal quote:
"The human body is a very interesting and complex living thing on this planet. I’ve always been curious in human health and solutions to either cure or prevent health problems. It is an honor to contribute to a product that will help people with cartilage repair, eventually aimed to prevent osteoarthritis. This is close to my heart, as the disease runs in my family."
