The

Formulated to Nutritionally
Support Healthy Joints.
Joints
Turmeric root extract
Curcumin, demethoxycurcumin
and bisdemethoxycurcumin have antioxidant activity. The curcuminoids
have been found to have a number of antioxidant activities,
including scavenging of such reactive oxygen species as superoxide
anions and hydrogen peroxide, inhibition of lipid peroxidation
and inhibition of the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein
(LDL). The reduced derivative of curcumin, tetrahydrocurcumin,
has been found to have even stronger antioxidant activity.
Tetrahydrocurcumin may be formed from curcumin following ingestion;
however, this is unclear.
The study appeared in the July issue of the
Journal of Nutrition (135:1745-51, 2005).
MSM
In the June issue of Clinical
Drug Investigations, Drs. P.R. Usha and M.U.R. Naidu report
that MSM nutritionally supported healthy joint function.
Tocotrienols
As a key antioxidant, vitamin
E appears to play a modest but notable role in helping maintain
a healthy body. It may even nutritionally support the body
in the aging process. According to test-tube studies, the
tocotrienols (alpha-tocotrienol, specifically) appear to be
the most powerful of the vitamin E antioxidants. The Cirulatory
system, the joints, the nervous system, healthy cholesterol
levels, the immune system, and memory are also believed to
be nutritionally supported by Vitamin E.
Ginger
Antioxidant
It has been shown to nutritionally
support the intestines and help maintain the healthy production
of saliva, digestive juices, and bile. It nutritionally supports
the body in many areas including circulation health and digestion.
Oligomeric
proanthocyanidin
Grape seed extract: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grape_seed_extract
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins
or OPCs are a class of flavonoid complexes found in grape
seeds and skin, that act as antioxidants (free radical scavengers)
in the human body. Thus, OPCs may play a key role in nutritionally
supporting normal body metabolic processes.
Additionally, studies have
shown that OPCs may nutritionally support healthy cardiovascular
health. A number of grape seed oil vendors have claimed that
grape seed oil is high in OPCs. However, independent studies
have indicated that grape seed oil is actually the grape product
with the lowest concentration of OPCs. This is because OPCs
are polar molecules, which have very low solubility in nonpolar
solvents such as oils. However, OPCs are available from fresh
grapes, grape juice, and red wine.
"Proanthocyanidins -also called
"OPCs" for oligomeric proanthocyanidins and "PCOs" for procyanicolic
oligomers are a class of nutrients belonging to the bioflavonoid
family. Some researchers also call these molecules "pycnogenol."
The main functions of proanthocyanidins are antioxidant activity,
helping maintain healthy collagen, and maintenance of healthy
elastin-two critical proteins in connective tissue, blood
vessels and muscle.
The most common antioxidants
currently used are vitamin C and vitamin E; however, studies
show that proanthocyanidins antioxidant capabilities are 20
times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more potent
than vitamin E! An important supplement, the proanthocyanidins
found in pine bark and grape seed extract work to help maintain
healthy blood vessels and healthy delivery of oxygen to the
cells. Doctor recommended as anti-oxidants, they have become
increasingly more important as our environment deteriorates
through the introduction of toxins from pollution. Although
bioflavonoids are widespread in nature, the powerful proanthocyanidin
compound is most abundant and available from the bark of the
maritime pine and in grape seeds, or pips.
Proanthocyanidins help to maintain
healthy collagen. All cells connect to one another with strong
fibers called collagen. The breakdown of collagen is what
causes our skin to lose its elasticity, which in turn causes
wrinkles. Proanthocyanidins are also taken as an oral cosmetic
to nutritionally support healthy skin. Proanthocyanidins serve
to support the body's immune system. The production of free
radicals is increased because of today's environment. Tobacco
smoke, alcohol, solvents, chemicals and more cause free radicals
to form. Since proanthocyanidins support the body's ability
to eliminate free radicals, they nutritionally support our
immune system.
Glucosamine
Sulfate
In
North America, the medical profession until recently took
a more guarded view of glucosamine research, which has largely
been performed in Europe and Asia. Concerns over research
methodology and the validity of clinical findings have been
raised, but it has been widely accepted that glucosamine is
highly bioavailable (26 percent bioavailability after first
pass through the liver to enter the bloodstream).
