Exomine Research:
Chondroitin Sulfate - A major structural component of the cartilage. Chondroitin can help stimulate the production of new healthy cartilage, block enzymes that break down cartilage, and normalize joint fluids to reduce friction. (3)
Hyaluronic Acid - The greatest concentrations of this acid are found in joints and used as lubrication. As you age, less hylaronic acid is produced, which results in stiff joints. Supplementing this protein will lubricate stiff joints.
Glucosamine HCI - The clinical benefits of glucosamine in the treatment of osteoarthritis are impressive. 252 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee were given placebo or 1500mg of glucosamine every day. The results showed glucosamine can reduce pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis. The longer it was used, the more apparent the benefits were. Glucosamine is absorbed 90-98%. (1)
BioCell Collagen Type II™ - This ingredient was formulated as an alternative to glucosamine and chondrotin, but is also very effective when used in conjunction with the two ingredients.
Methylsulfonyl Methane (MSM) - This is a natural form of dietary sulfur and has been used to reduce or eliminate arthritis pain. MSM has been found to be helpful for many conditions, including arthritis. (2)
Vitamin B3 - Can help with pain, range of motion, muscle strength, and endurance.
Vitamin C - Studies have shown Vitamin C can help reduce the risk of cartilage loss and arthritis progression.
Boron - May be important for maintaining healthy bones and joints. Double-blind placebo controlled studies have shown that small daily amounts of boron can help with osteoarthritis. (4)
Boswellia Serrata Ext.- Has anti-inflammatory properties. The active ingredient, Boswellic acid, can block the production of enzymes in the body that cause inflammation. (5,6)
Ginger - A study involving 56 osteoarthritis patients proved that ginger was 75% effective for osteoarthritis and muscular discomfort. (7)
Cat' Claw - Contains active ingredients called "glycosides," that have been shown to reduce inflammation and water retention. (8)
Tumeric - Laboratory tests and clinical research indicate that the active ingredients have unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. (9, 10)
Grape Seed Ext. - Has flavonoid-like substances call "proanthocyanidins" (PCOs) that act like antioxidants. These PCOs work as synergists with Vitamin C. (11) PCOs inhibit certain chemicals from causing inflammation. (12)
