Boswelia Serrata
Boswellia Serrata is clinically proven to alleviate the pain and joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. The bark of the boswellia tree contains its medicinal properties and has been used for centuries in ancient Indian medicine for pain, inflammation, asthma and intestinal conditions.
Calcium
Clinical research shows that calcium is an effective treatment for high blood pressure, premenstrual syndrome and bone loss associated with aging. Calcium is also an essential mineral for other cell functions. Most Americans do not get enough calcium in their diet. That's why experts recommend calcium supplements, especially for women.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin sulfate is an effective treatment for the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis (OA), degeneration of joint cartilage. Numerous clinical studies show that it is beneficial alone or even better with supplements like glucosamine or MSM. Research shows the chondroitin may also help stop the progression of OA.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is an effective treatment for the joint pain and debilitation caused by osteoarthritis, according to numerous studies. Research also shows that it can stop this degenerating disease from progressing, which at this time no pharmaceuticals can do. Glucosamine is usually combined with other joint health supplements chondroitin and MSM.
Iron
Iron is essential for proper growth, bone density and immune function. Yet, iron deficiency is prevalent in the U.S. As a vital cofactor in oxygen transport, metabolism and red blood cell production, iron prevents fatigue and anemia. In women, studies show 18 grams of iron consumed daily strengthens bone density.
Magnesium
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for over 300 enzymatic processes. However, magnesium deficiency is common and leads to increased cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and arthritis risk, which can affect athletic performance. Studies show women tend to be more magnesium deficient.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a popular treatment for pain and joint stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. MSM is a natural sulfur compound that is usually combined with other supplements proven to relieve joint pain like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.
Trace Minerals
Trace minerals are essential elements for a variety of healthy body functions and enzyme processes that include strong bone structure, glucose tolerance, energy production, protection against free-radicals, and etc. Trace minerals are needed in small daily amounts to help the body maintain homeostasis.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D prevents bone loss and the fractures generally associated with the bone loss of aging. Science also shows that vitamin D is an essential trigger for the body to absorb more calcium. As a fat-soluble vitamin, vitamin D is essential for good health and the prevention of bone diseases.
