HERBS/PLANT EXTRACTS:
Green Lipped Mussel Extract:
-
This unique extract should be an essential part of any joint health formulation due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Contains natural glucosamine, chondroitin, antihistamines and phenylanaline (a pain-relieving amino).
-
Rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
-
Contains natural glycosaminoglycan content which provides a chondro- or cartilage protective activity by direct action in combining with endogenous water molecules to produce large, buffering and lubricating structures to joints.
Devil’s Claw
-
Possesses anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, especially recommended in severe forms of arthritis.
White Willow Bark
-
The bark of White Willow contains salicin and is chemically similar to aspirin and often referred to as ‘the natural disprin’. It is a very effective anti-inflammatory.
-
Used in conditions that cause pain, inflammation and fever.
Bromelain
-
An enzyme found in the stem of pineapples that is an anti-inflammatory agent.
-
Especially valuable in the treatment of arthritis, sports injuries, and reducing postoperative swelling.
-
Has been proposed for the treatment of sinusitis, bruising, gout, ulcerative colitis and auto-immune disorders.
Note: The natural ingredients provide protection for the stomach lining while having an anti-inflammatory effect.
MICRONUTRIENTS:
Glucosamine Sulphate
-
A natural compound and one of the major components of joint cartilage.
-
It is recommended for pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
-
It supports joint lubrication and mobility.
MSM (methyl sulphonyl methane)
-
A natural, safe physiological active sulphur compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
-
It is used for treatment of different forms of arthritis, joint infection and inflammation.
-
Helps to lower stress, reduce muscles cramps and speed up wound healing.
Vitamin E
-
Important in preventing deterioration of varicose veins by improving the integrity of the vein walls.
-
Improves the oxygen reserves of the cardiac and skeletal muscles by restoring the anaerobic muscle function.
-
Helps clear the debris from arthritic joints.
Vitamin A
-
Plays an essential role in maintaining surfaces of the skin and other body tissue linings as well as their secretions (cartilage and synovial fluid in joints).
Vitamin C
-
Essential for the formation and maintenance of collagen, which forms the basis of the connective tissue in the body. Collagen supports the skin, ligaments, bones, teeth, cartilage, arterial walls and synovial lining of the joints.
-
Ensures that calcium is absorbed adequately.
-
Plays a role in the relief of backache, pain caused by slipped discs and all inflammatory pain associated with arthritis and exercise-induced muscular and joint injuries.
MINERALS:
Zinc
-
Important in protein synthesis and collagen formation.
Copper
-
Important in the formation of bone, hemoglobin and red blood cells.
-
Helps to control the inflammatory reactions in arthritis and bursitis.
-
Important for a healthy nervous system and smooth joint operation.
Boron
-
Important for the metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. It can be used in the treatment of arthritis and hypertension because of the effect on the metabolism of calcium and magnesium. Helps prevent the removal of calcium from the bone.
Manganese
-
Involved with various enzyme systems which control the metabolism of bone formation and joint function and repair.
Note: Glucosomine, Chondroitin, Vitamin C and Manganese work in synergy to optimise your body’s own natural healing response.
