Background: Collagen Peptide (CP) specifically that of bovine origin has been studied to have antioxidant properties, promoting synthesis and regeneration of extracellular matrix. Bovine CP (BCP) has been proven effective in improving joint health, overall appearance of hair, owing to the triple helix protein structure that is a vital component of bones, skin, tendons and ligaments.1 Titan Biotech Ltd. has formulated their BCP TitabonTM to be available as a nutraceutical supplement for adults looking to improve general hair health and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis(OA). OA is a leading cause of reduced mobility, increasing pain that interferes with a person's everyday activities and diminishes their quality of life. The current clinical studies conducted on TitabonTM have shown promising results...........

Introduction: Ensuring the availability of vaccines determines the expected outcomes of vaccination. This depends on the quality of the logistics cycle put in place. The aim of the study was to take stock of the logistics cycle of vaccines in the Expanded Program on Immunization. Methodology: A mixed-methods study was conducted over a period of 4 months at the Central Coordination of the Expanded Program on Immunization. Document review, complemented by direct observation of storage warehouses, allowed for the evaluation of the quality of the logistics cycle............
