DESCRIPTION:
The problem of bone and joint disorders had become so prevalent that the
United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have proclaimed
the years 2000 through 2010 as the “Bone and Joint Decade.”
Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 60 million people in this country. Nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) have been the drugs of choice for
joint pain and inflammation. They are among the most widely used drugs on
the market.
NSAID’s have known side effects such as stomach irritation, ulcers,
gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, liver and kidney damage, and skin rashes. There is
also concern over NSAID’s destruction of cartilage and belief that they may
accelerate the arthritis process.
Active Ingredients:
- Glucosamine – Stimulates the formation of connective tissue that
give cartilage its tensile strength. 2. Is a precursor to hyaluronic acid
and chrondroitin sulfate, substances that give cartilage resilience.
- Chondroitin Sulfate – A proteoglycan that is responsible for
lubricating joint tissues giving them resilience and flexability.3
DL
- Phenylalanine – Aids chronic pain sufferers by preventing the
destruction of endorphins and enkephalins, the body’s pain fighting
horomones.
- MSM - Arthritic patients taking MSM reported long lasting relief
from pain and stiffness as well as reduced swelling and inflammation.
MSM is necessary for collagen synthesis, increases blood circulation,
and speeds healing.
Dr. Stanley Jacobs, M.D., the author of The Miracle of MSM states
that glucosamine sulfate works better with MSM.
- Boswellin® (Boswellia serrata)- The therapeutic action of Boswellin ® includes:
• Reduction in joint swelling
• Increased mobility
• Steroid sparing action
• Amelioration of morning stiffness
• General improvement in quality of life
The boswellic acids in Boswellin® were found to have a unique
dual inhibitory action on two pro-inflammatory enzymes, 5-
lipoxygenase and HLE (Human Leucocyte Elastase). Recent studies
show that only the B-Boswellic acids are effective anti-inflammatory
components. HPLC analysis of Boswellin® shows it to consistently
have higher amounts of B-Boswellic acids than other Boswellia
serrata extracts. 5,6,7
