Joint Matrix - 90 tab - 45% Special Formulations

DescriptionThe most advanced formulation ever for helping to win the fight against arthritis and disorders of the joints! More than forty million people in the United States alone suffer from some type of arthritis. There are many forms of the disease--all of which can devastate the lives of those afflicted. A number of natural remedies made available over the past several years have proven to be extremely beneficial in providing relief for arthritis sufferers. The most effective of these formulas have usually included only one or two significant ingredients intended to help diminish the pain, inflammation and cartilage damage associated with certain forms of arthritis. The problem is, however, that different types of the disease attack the body in different ways. For example, osteoarthritis, the most common form of the disease, involves the gradual degeneration of the joints in the body. The joint cartilage acting as a natural shock absorber is gradually eroded. The ends of the bones where the cartilage is attached, the capsule surrounding the joint and adjacent muscle tissue are also adversely affected. While inflammation may not be significant in most cases of osteoarthritis, the level of pain caused by the disease intensifies as the cartilage loses its ability to allow the joint to move smoothly. In contrast, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disorder affecting the entire body. Instead of acting as a defense mechanism, the immune system is triggered by the disease to turn on the body and attack healthy tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis is particularly harsh on the joints. These differences, along with the needs of those suffering from other forms of joint disorders or injuries, have led to the creation of a highly effective and versatile formulation--JOINT MATRIX! By providing the equivalent of seven or more different products in one, Joint Matrix takes the guesswork out of selecting the most effective product to help treat the different forms of arthritis and joint disorders. HOW DOES JOINT MATRIX WORK? When dealing with disorders stemming from arthritis or joint injury, the most effective measures may be those taken to enhance the body s ability to heal the cartilage and surrounding tissues. Understanding the body's mechanics in maintaining healthy cartilage was instrumental in developing the most effective formulation...The overall framework of cartilage is comprised mostly of protein collagen. Within the network of collagen fibers are large molecules called proteoglycans that act as water magnets for the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid helps to create a spongy cushion in and around the cartilage helping to protect the joint. Scattered throughout the cartilage are tiny factories called chondrocytes which manufacture new supplies of collagen and proteoglycans needed for building new cartilage. They also secrete enzymes necessary to rid the cartilage of worn-out tissue. Disease or injury can greatly impair this process causing debilitation of the afflicted joints. Joint Matrix is designed to work within the cartilage matrix. Each nutrient found in this remarkable formula is included for its unique properties in helping to treat specific forms of arthritis or joint injury.IngredientsVitamin A (acetate)100 IU; Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)1 mg; Vitamin E (d-alpha toco. acetate)1 IU; Vitamin B-1 (thiamine hcl)1 mg; Vitamin B-2 (as riboflavin)1 mg; Niacinamide 1 mg; Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride)1 mg; Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin)10 mcg; Manganese (sulfate)320 mcg; Zinc (amino acid chelate)200 mcg; Selenium (amino acid chelate)200 mcg; Copper (as amino acid chelate)100 mcg ; Chromium (amino acid chelate)20 mcg; Glucosamine Sulfate 500 mg; Chondroitin Sulfate 400 mg ; Shark Cartilage 750 mg; New Zealand Green Lipped Sea Mussel 250 mg; MSM (Methylsulfonoylmethane)250 mg; L-Histidine 10 mg; Boron (amino acid chelate)1 mg; Alfalfa Powder 25 mg; Yucca Extract (29% saponins)1 mg; Devil’s Claw (powder)1 mg; Cetyl Myristoleate 1 mgAdditional IngredientsDi-Calcium Phosphate, Stearic Acid, croscarmellose sodium, and Magnesium StearateDirectionsAs a dietary supplement, take one (1)to two (2) tablets three times daily.Cautions**ALLERGEN WARNING: CONTAINS FISH (SHARK), SHELLFISH (SEA MUSSEL/GLUCOSAMINE).** Do not exceed recommended dose.
