The Joint Support formulation is a combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and powerful antioxidants in addition to sulfur compounds which play an integral part in the formation of bone and cartilage matrix. The principals being Glucosamine Sulfate, which provides the raw material needed to manufacture the mucopolysaccharide glycosaminoglycan found in cartilage. The second is Chondroitin Sulfate a major constituent of cartilage and its matrix. Since cartilage is avascular (without direct blood supply) it depends on the synovial fluid for nutrition. The components in this formula give the best protection to cartilage against free radical damage and degenerative changes.
The Joint Support formula also contains Vitamin C a powerful antioxidant also necessary for collagen formation and repair. It has mild antihistamine properties, helps with wound healing and enhances athletic performance. Panotothenic acid (B5) is able to help reduce symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Lupus (SLE) in scientific study. Vitamin B5 is also an athletic enhancer. Niacin (B3) is present in this formula in a level that will not cause flushing, and is helpful in managing osteoarthritis (OA). L-Proline is an important amino acid found in the joint matrix. Manganese (Mn) found in cartilage and bone activates Superoxide Desmutase (SOD) and staves off OA. Iron (Fe) & Calcium (Ca) intake can reduce Mn, so women on Calcium and Iron are at risk for this deficiency. Bromelain, a digestive enzyme, also has powers of anti-inflammation (73% of RA patients reported improvements with this supplement alone in one study.)
Quercetin, a flavonoid, and Grape seed extract, a proanthocyanidine, help with antioxidation, reduce edema, and have been helpful with gouty arthritis (gout). The herb Turmeric, with active ingredient curcumin, is a potent antioxidant & anti-inflammatory, it reduces histamine, releases cortisols and helps with OA. Ginger is used in Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine to treat inflammation is also present in this formula [it may react with some blood thinners (Coumadin.)] Finally, the herb Boswellia serrata (the active component is a terpenoid) is found in this formula and inhibits inflammation & leukotrienes. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat OA, RA and Bursitis. Dr. Saleeby recommends anywhere between 3 to 5 tables daily (divided doses) for control of arthritis or as a prevention of joint damage in his athlete patients.
