Anti-inflammation Ingredients:
Turmeric and Ginger - Important phytonutrients that inhibit the
COX-2 enzyme, responsible for joint inflammation.
Trans-resveratrol - Powerful, phytonutrient that helps reverse
free-radical damage to vertebrae tissue and helps inhibit COX-2.
Boswellin® - Proven to reduce inflammation.
Connective Tissue Repair Ingredients:
Glucosamine - Known to restore connective tissue and maintain
synovial fluid in vertebra tissue.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - Helps connective tissue absorb fluid
to cushion the shock of movement and activity.
Muscle Relaxation Ingredients:
Kava Kava - Traditional herb with active ingredient kavalactones,
known to relax muscles and improve sleep.
Magnesium - Required by your body to offset muscles contraction,
so muscles can relax.
From the simple jointache to more serious joint problems, here
are 3 common sources of joint pain:
Muscle strains and spasms - Aches and pains usually signal strained
muscles, tendons or ligaments, or inflamed joints along your jointbone.
If you strain your joint, you may feel the pain immediately or
develop soreness or stiffness later. Muscle spasm may occur after
an injury. Spasm is your joint's response to injury, designed to
immobilize you and prevent further damage.
Wear and tear arthritis - Commonly referred to as osteoarthritis
arthritis, this disorder affects nearly everyone past age 60.
Excessive use, injury or aging slowly deteriorates cartilage,
the protective tissue that covers the surface of vertebral joints.
Discs between vertebrae become worn and the spaces between the
bones narrow. Bony outgrowths called spurs also develop. Gradually,
your spine stiffens and loses flexibility. As vertebral joints
rub together with greater force than normal, the surfaces where
they meet, called facets, compress and become irregular. Cartilage
becomes inflamed, and the result is pain.
Injuries and accidents - A decrease in muscle tone as you age
makes you prone to joint pain, especially that caused by muscle
injuries. A shifting in your center of gravity due to increased
fat around your abdomen also may offset your balance and increase
your risk of an injury or accident.
You reach over to pick up a magazine, open
a car door, or begin to lift a bag of groceries. A twinge strikes
your lower joint. In minutes, the searing pain spreads and you're
incapacitated.
Or you wake up after what you think is a good night's sleep to
find your joint is stiff and very sore from playing that tennis
match the day before. You wonder what you did to bring on such
crippling pain. But there's hope. Joint-pain sufferers are finding
relief with a host of new treatments and prevention strategies.
More important, researchers are setting conventional wisdom on
its ear when it comes to preventing and healing some of the minor
joint injuries and pain with natural alternatives and supplements.
On Their Joints
Joint pain hits nearly everyone. See the sidebar for example.
Joint pain even hurts the economy: Americans spend nearly $50 billion
per year in expenses associated with medical treatment and lost
time from work. That puts joint pain in a league with cancer and
heart disease in terms of its cost and disabling effects. Still,
it doesn't get the attention it deserves, because joint pain can
be so mysterious and has such a low mortality rate; people tend
not to view it as seriously as they should.
Types of Jointaches
Even minor damage to any one component of your joint's structure
can upset the delicate balance and make movement painful. Joint
pain can occur for no apparent reason and at any point on your
spine. The most common site for pain, however, is your lower joint
because it bears the majority of your weight.
Lack of muscle strength and excess weight, especially around
your stomach, commonly cause and aggravate joint pain. Poor posture
adds stress, too. When you slouch or stand with a swayjoint, you
exaggerate your joint's natural curves. Any imbalance can stress
muscles and joints, causing fatigue and injury from overuse.
Add the daily stresses and strains you put on your joint, such
as carrying the groceries, mowing the lawn, leaning over a keypad
for long periods, or even reaching high for something in a kitchen
cabinet. And all too often the result is the familiar complaint,
"Oh, my aching joint."
Natural Pain Relief for the Aspirin Sensitive
In 1998 the US. Food and Drug Administration approved a drug
called Celebrex for the treatment of both osteoarthritis, rheumatoid
arthritis and pain relief. The popular press welcomed it as the
long-awaited invention of "safe aspirin". The medical
community was very optimistic about Celebrex being a revolutionary
advance in pain relief, and the Wall Street Journal has hailed
the drug as the next Viagra - like success with potential annual
sales in the $5 billion range.
Also, during a six-month period in 1999, over 2 million prescriptions
were written for Vioxx, Merck's new COX-2 inhibitor. Which was
approved by the FDA for arthritis and menstrual pain. It is also
being used for with acute pain, low joint pain, post surgery pain
and even for postoperative dental pain.
It is estimated that literally tens millions of people will take
Celebrex, Vioxx, or similar compounds for pain relief, including
joint pain instead of taking traditional NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs) like aspirin and ibuprofen. The use of these drugs by the
medical community is staggering, with more than thirty-five million
prescriptions written for NSAIDS in 1995 alone and billions of
dollars more spent on non-prescription over-the-counter NSAIDS
such as Motrin and Advil. From the introduction of aspirin nearly
one hundred years ago, it is estimated that over one trillion
aspirin doses have been taken.
The significance of finding an alternative to NSAIDS for dealing
with arthritis pain is underscored by the fact that an estimated
107,000 people are admitted to hospitals each year due to complications
from the use of NSAIDS and more than 16,500 die! Because of serious
side effects including kidney damage, peptic ulcers, and gastrointestinal
bleeding, many in the medical community think that anyone who
has ever taken traditional pain relievers is a candidate for the
use of this new class of COX-2 inhibitor drugs. Celebrex and Vioxx
do appear to offer relief from pain and inflammation that is similar
to traditional NSAIDS, with a decreased incidence of the side
effects associated with them.
Celebrex and Vioxx also come with their drawjoints. They are relatively
expensive, costing close to $2.50 per day to help reduce pain
and inflammation. In addition, many HMOs won't pay for these drugs
because they say the costs are too high and individuals can still
use the traditional NSAIDS for pain relief at a much lower cost.
but there are effective, natural, and less expensive natural alternatives
to the prescription medications.
The Importance of COX-2 Inhibitors
Why is it important to block the COX-2 enzyme? The COX-2 enzyme
controls the production of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins
that cause inflammation. The COX-2 enzyme jump starts the production
of these inflammatory substances that lead to inflammation in
the joints, a major symptom of arthritis and joint pain. Blocking
its production is the key to reducing the pain, soreness and stiffness
associate with arthritis and low joint and muscle pain. In addition,
excessive COX-2 production has also been linked to many forms
of cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
The Natural Alternatives
Millions of people are in search of an "aspirin-free"
alternative for dealing with pain and many are uncertain about
the side effects of these new COX-2 drugs. That's why supplement-manufacturers
are looking at natural COX-2 inhibitors, anti-inflammatory herbs
and nutrients to prevent and relieve joint pain and support joint
health. These unique blends rely on the wisdom of traditional
healing and the time-tested effectiveness of nutraceutical ingredients
instead of single-ingredient drugs.
Muscle Relaxation
Special ingredients help break the cycle of pain! Sore joint muscles
respond to pain by contracting, causing even more pain. Herbs
such as kava kava can actually help break this vicious cycle of
pain. Kava kava is known to relax muscles and help break the cycle
of pain. When blended with the mineral magnesium, the effect proves
even more beneficial because magnesium is required by your body
to counteract muscle contraction, so muscles can relax.
Nutritional Support for Aching Joints
While it is important to inhibit inflammation, the joint need
nutritional support to help protect or repair damaged tissue from
inflammation. Although drugs can reduce pain, they do nothing
to repair vertebrae tissue or aching joints. Glucosamine, however,
is one natural compound that actually repairs and restores connective
tissue, including cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Studies show
that glucosamine assists the body's own repair mechanism by promoting
the production of collagen, a protein that holds connective tissue
together.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) a sulfur based nutrient helps bind
water in the cartilage matrix, keeping the cartilage between the
joints soft and spongy. Natural Balance offers straight MSM, or
specialized formulas specifically engineered for joint or joint
pain, called Super Flex Joint Formula and Super Flex Joint Forumla,
respectively.
No More Aching Joint
There are many natural substances available that will interrupt
pain and inflammation from prostaglandins, help support healthy
joints and cartilage and reduce muscle tension. These supplements
are safe and offer long-term effectiveness. These formulas deliver
potent natural ingredients known to reduce joint pain, so users
