Clinical research has demonstrated the effectiveness of these compounds individually, and together, in assisting the body to rebuild damaged connective tissue. Glucosamine Sulfate enjoys years of clinical and experimental use indicating its benefits as the building blocks of connective tissue. Chondroitin Sulfate and Collagen have a unique ability to hold large quantities of water, therefore, acting as a cushioning and lubrication for joints. The sulfur component in MethylSulfonylMethane (MSM) as well as Glucosamine and Chondroitin promote the production of disulfide bonds which are responsible for the rigidity and strength of connective tissue.

Various cultures have used Sea Cucumber as a remedy for ailments including joint health. Several clinical trials have indicated the positive effects of sea cucumber (holothurin - its active constituent) on joint care and repair. Recent investigations have indicated the wonderful benefits of Cetyl-myristoleate (CMO), Bromelain, Turmeric and Boswella serrata on joint care and repair. Joint Relief provides ALL of the vital nutrients that have been clinically proven to optimize joint health.

Joint Relief is a superb formulation designed to maximize athletic performance. This formula provides an exclusive blend of natural joint care and repair compounds. Joint Relief is a scientifically advanced formula providing specific nutrients in optimal potencies to assist the body in rebuilding connective tissue, improving flexibility and stimulating the body’s own anti-inflammatory defense mechanism.

Each capsule contains clinically proven ingredients that include MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane), CMO (cetyl-myristoleate), Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Joint Relief also includes the superior action of Notoginseng for "after-workout" relief and renewal to joints and muscles.

The main reason for joint pain is the collective effects of years of use of the joints compounded by the inability, as we age, to restore joint cartilage. In addition, a majority of joint pain can be directly related to the nutritional status of the individual. A few diet modifications are recommended when considering inflammation and joint pain. It is recommended to limit the intake of hot, spicy and fried foods, sweets, tea, coffee, alcohol, wheat, white sugar, dairy, chocolate and cocoa. Excessive smoking and use of antibiotics, painkillers and steroids should also be limited if not totally omitted. On the other hand, apples, grapes and papaya, fresh vegetables like broccoli, squash and zucchini are recommended. Cooking with herbs like cumin, coriander, ginger, garlic, fennel and turmeric is also very beneficial.

Recent nutritional investigations have demonstrated the effectiveness of a variety of nutritional components that may also benefit joint health. Precise combinations of these intricate compounds indicate promising results in supporting the body’s ability to rebuild damaged connective tissue, modify inflammation and reduce pain. Glucosamine, which is also available as a Vegetarian Glucosamine, is naturally synthesized from glucose and the amino acid glutamine, is one of the building blocks of the connective tissue. Glucosamine Sulfate as well as Chondroitin Sulfate act as the foundation for the body’s production of the cartilage compounds glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) and proteoglycans. Proteoglycans are protein molecules responsible for giving cartilage its strength and resilience and are associated with the structural elements of bone, elastin and collagen. Their unique ability to hold large quantities of water acts as cushioning and lubrication to neck, fingers, wrists, knees and joints of the body. The sulfur component in MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane), as well as Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate, are necessary for the production of the disulfide bonds that are responsible for the rigidity and strength of connective tissue.

Various cultures have traditionally used Sea Cucumber as a remedy for many ailments including joint pain relief. Sea Cucumber (pseudocolochirus)is a marine animal and native of Australia. Several investigations have demonstrated that holothurin, an active constituent, has positive effects on joint health. This was assessed by diminished morning joint stiffness, increased grip strength and significant pain reduction without any toxicity or side effects.

Cis-9-cetyl-myristoleate (CMO) is a medium chain triglyceride naturally occurring in nuts, vegetables and certain mammals. CMO appears to modify the inflammatory process and acts as a lubricant for joints, thereby reducing joint pain. While doing arthritis research in the 1970’s for the National Institute of Health (NIH), Dr.’s Diel and May discovered CMO. They demonstrated CMO’s ability to reduce inflammation and protected joint health in arthritis induced rats. A more recent investigation in humans diagnosed with various forms of arthritis, revealed that CMO further reduced pain, increased joint mobility and supported overall joint health.

The use of Bromelain has been shown to relieve swelling, pain while the body is at rest, pain during movement, and joint tenderness. Bromelain has been shown to inhibit the generation of bradykinin at the inflammatory site in addition to a decrease in the production of prekallikrein (an enzyme which assists in the production of bradykinin) levels in serum. Bradykinin is a potent mediator of anaphylaxis, which is released from cells following a reaction with a foreign substance – Bradykinin provokes pain and contributes to the inflammation response to injury.

White Willow Bark provides 1% active salicylates (form of salicylic acid) which are active components of aspirin that may act to inhibit cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin formation. Increases in prostaglandins usually result in increased pain and inflammation; therefore, a reduction is very beneficial for joint health. Studies have shown that Boswellia serrata (boswellic acids), Turmeric (95% curcuminoids) and Notoginseng (45% ginsenosides), are capable of inhibiting mediators of inflammation (leukotrienes) by interacting directly with the enzymatic pathway or by blocking its translocation. Like bromelain, inhibiting mediators of the inflammatory process may relieve pain, increase mobility and strength and support joint health.

These new approaches to joint health, in contrast to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAID’s) and cortisone shots, which can inflict havoc on the body, are aimed at adequate nutrition and intelligent nutritional supplementation. Recent combinations of various nutritional supplements are showing excellent results in supporting joint health.
