Product Details
Joint Strength is an amazing joint formula incorporating the most effective, science-based nutrients that have been proven to help promote joint health and reduce joint pain. This is the only product of its kind that has incorporated 5 key pathways for healthy joints:
1. Improve Joint Lubrication with CMO and Collagen Type II
CMO (cetyl myristoleate) is an all natural medium chain fatty acid which Dr. Harry Diehl, while working for the National Institutes of Health, discovered to be a powerful joint lubricant and anti-inflammatory agent. Dr. Diehl "accidentally" discovered this when he noticed that the Swiss albino mice would NOT develop arthritis when he injected them with a special bacteria designed to cause arthritis. After a lengthy investigation, he found out that these mice naturally possessed CMO.
The good news is that CMO works on humans as well as it does in mice. A study was performed at the San Diego Immunological Center - to see how long it takes patients to get results on CMO.
In the first group of patients, who suffered from mild to moderately severe arthritis, nine out of the eleven patients reported 40% to 50% relief from arthritic pain in just 36 hours! Then, these nine people continued to improve rapidly for the next 60 hours. In fact, they reported 70% to 80% improvement by the end of four days!
In a second group with severe to crippling arthritis, all but one patient (who had a bad liver) reported to be 90% free of pain - with a return of 70% to 100% mobility!
CMO, it was determined, is also a superior anti-inflammatory agent. It acts faster, lasts longer, and is completely non-toxic. But its results were even better when combined with another popular joint nutrient.
In a randomized clinical trial, Dr. Humberto Siemandi found that 64% more patients experienced relief from joint swelling when they were given CMO plus glucosamine!
The reason, the researchers found, is because glucosamine is much more easily absorbed - and helps the body to rebuild cartilage. In fact, animal and human studies have shown up to 98% absorption of glucosamine!
And for maximum relief from the pain caused by joint swelling, you need to take another compound to help lubricate the joints called Type II Collagen.
Collagen is an important structural protein found throughout the body. There are several types of collagen depending on its function. The type found in healthy joints is known as Type II Collagen.
In a study published in the prestigious journal Science, Type II Collagen was shown to significantly decrease the number of swollen joints. In fact, some of the patients in the study had complete remission of their arthritis!
2. Reduce Joint Inflammation with Curcumin and Omega-3 Fish Oil
A big part of the pain (and the cause) of arthritis is inflammation of the tissue within your joints. This inflammation puts pressure on the nerves (causing pain) and also reduces the space within the joints (causing loss of mobility).
To really attack the problem of painful joints in your body, you not only have to lubricate your joints, but you have to get rid of the inflammation as well.
Most of the drugs on the market - such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - attempt to do just that. But they often have very bad side-effects that can even make your joint problems worse off in the long run. However, there are natural compounds that have been proven to be extremely effective in fighting inflammation:
Curcumin is the most powerful anti-inflammatory natural substance known to man when it comes to fighting inflammation of the joints - especially the pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Derived from the tropical root, turmeric (which is very popular in India and used extensively in Ayurvedic holistic medicine), curcumin has special properties that have been proven in numerous studies to do exactly what today's COX -2 inhibitor drugs (such as Celebrex and Vioxx) do.
Omega-3 Fish oil has been proven in a number of scientific studies to suppress the inflammation caused by arthritis. One study at the Albany Medical College in New York found that fish oil "has been consistently shown to reduce both the number of tender joints and the amount of morning stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis." (AJCN 2000 Jan; 71(1):349S-351S).
Furthermore, the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health in Washington, D.C. did a placebo-controlled study that found "fish oil used for chronic inflammatory diseases reveals significant benefits, including decreased disease activity and a lowered use of anti-inflammatory drugs." (CGNH Journal; Jan; 71(1 Suppl):224S-7S).
3. Reduce Free Radical Attacks on the Joints with Bromelain and SAMe
We've all heard about how damaging free radicals can be on the body. But they're also especially damaging on the joints since it's the free radicals that cause the inflammation in your joints in the first place.
Bromelain, a strong proteolytic enzyme (or capable of digesting proteins) naturally found in pineapples, is effective for joint pain since it helps reduce inflammation by neutralizing the biochemicals of inflammation.
In one study published in the Pennsylvania Journal of Medicine, bromelain was given to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and fully 73% reported good to excellent results!
SAMe (which stands for S-adenosyl-L-methionine) is an important compound that is involved in many biochemical reactions in the body. Researchers at the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a division of the Dept. of Health and Human Services, found that SAMe was very effective in relieving pain in people with painful joints. In fact, 71% reported good to very good results!
And yet, it had fewer digestive side effects than anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen. (By the way, SAMe is also very helpful with depression and liver problems.)
SAMe works because it helps your liver to function better. And in the case of painful joints and free-radical attacks, you want your liver to work at an extremely high rate of efficiency. Additionally, SAMe is crucial for the manufacture of cartilage in your body. And it's the cartilage that must be healthy for you to have healthy joints, because cartilage is the "connective tissue" that helps your joints move freely and painlessly. SAMe restores the gel-like nature and shock-absorbing qualities of the connective tissue in your joints. Without enough SAMe, you lose this vital tissue.
4. Rebuild Cartilage with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and Sea Cucumber
Glucosamine and Chondroitin are very popular and extremely effective joint nutrients. They work together to help rebuild and lubricate the cartilage matrix between joints. However, when you add Sea Cucumber to the mix, you get a whole new level of cartilage-building results.
For nearly a thousand years, the Chinese have used sea cucumber in soup as a treatment for everything from general weakness, impotence, constipation, and blood problems. However, sea cucumber is useful because it's one of the richest sources of polysaccharide chondroitin sulfate, which is well known for its ability to reduce painful joints by building cartilage.
Also, sea cucumber has the ability to balance prostaglandins, which regulate the inflammation process.
When you combine sea cucumber with the well-known properties of the glucosamine/chondroitin combo, you have a potent formula for rebuilding healthy new cartilage and reducing the pain associated with damaged cartilage.
5. Pain Control with D,L-Phenylalanine (DLPA)
DLPA (D,L-Phenylalanine) is an essential amino acid that is crucial in preventing the breakdown of endorphins - the "feel good" hormones - in the brain.
Some doctors have characterized endorphins as natural morphine-like substances that drastically increase our tolerance of pain. DLPA works by "protecting" or "shielding" the endorphins, and thus blocking the transmission of pain signals to your brain. DLPA, in fact, has been found to be quite effective in alleviating chronic lower back pain, and is widely used by chiropractors who are treating severe-pain patients.
It's the "synergistic" effect of all our ingredients - each one working on one of the five key pathways to success in fighting arthritis - that makes Joint Strength so uniquely effective.
Warnings: Pregnant or lactating women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, and people with known medical conditions and/or people who are taking drugs should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements. They might cause gastrointestinal upset in some people. If you experience discomfort, discontinue use. Do not use if shrink wrap is broken or missing.
