DESCRIPTION

Supporting a healthy balance between the processes of

cartilage synthesis and degradation is crucial for proper

functioning of the joints. Joint Health Support provides

key nutraceuticals to help support a healthy inflammatory

response, facilitate cartilage synthesis and provide antioxidant

support.

FUNCTIONS

Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers

the ends of bones where they come together to form joints.

Healthy cartilage makes it easier to move by allowing the

bones to glide over each other with very little friction.

Cartilage is slow to regenerate and despite its toughness,

normal wear and tear and inflammation can outpace repair,

leading to pain and limited range of motion. Proper nutrition

can, however support healthy joint function and several

nutrients have been studied for their efficacy. These are

included in this Joint Health Support formula. To help support

the structural integrity of joint cartilage, glucosamine and

chondroitin offer significant benefits. Glucosamine and

chondroitin sulfate are both integral components of healthy

joint tissue and are the forms that have been used in the

major clinical trials. Glucosamine sulfate helps support the

production, and limit the breakdown of proteoglycans, a class

of compounds that make up the cartilage matrix of joint tissue.

Chondroitin sulfate has been shown to support the structural

matrix of joints as well as the production of hyaluronic

acid (major component of synovial fluid which keeps joints

“lubricated” and moving freely).

Chondroitin sulfate may also help limit chondrocytes from

producing enzymes and other compounds that stimulate the

breakdown of the cartilage matrix of joint tissue. OptiMSM®

is the purest and most bioavailable MSM on the market. MSM

is a source of the mineral sulfur which plays a significant role

in formation and retention of healthy cartilage and other types

of connective tissue. MSM may also help support a normal,

healthy inflammatory response. Standardized boswellia can

effectively inhibit pathways involved in the inflammatory

process and support healthy joint function. Herbal preparations

of turmeric, quercetin, grape seed extract and ginger contain

powerful antioxidants that reduce free radicals that are found

in inflamed joints and contribute to cartilage degradation.

Other nutrients like vitamin C, manganese and L-proline

facilitate cartilage synthesis.

INDICATIONS

Joint Health Support may be a useful dietary supplement for

those who wish to support healthy joint function by providing

key nutrients to support cartilage synthesis.
