Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M)

A naturally occurring protein in blood plasma that inhibits cartilage-degrading enzymes, helping to slow or halt the progression of osteoarthritis.

What is Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M)?

A2M works by trapping and neutralizing proteases — enzymes that break down cartilage in arthritic joints. The protein is concentrated from the patient's own blood and injected into the affected joint to protect remaining cartilage and reduce inflammation.

Who is it for?

Patients with early to moderate osteoarthritis who want to protect their remaining cartilage and slow disease progression.

Benefits

  • Protects cartilage from enzymatic breakdown
  • Derived from the patient's own blood
  • Can be combined with PRP for enhanced results
  • May reduce the need for joint replacement
