Joint Support

A Dietary Supplement

     

Meritech's Joint Support is a new and improved blend of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates and more. The ingredients in this advanced, natural formula are well-known for the benefits they have on easing the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis while promoting enhanced mobility and flexibility.

Glucosamine is an amino sugar essential to the structure of various body tissues. In particular, the body uses glucosamine to make proteins that are key components of cartilage. In addition, glucosamine stimulates the cells which make these structural proteins and helps regulate the metabolism of cartilage by inhibiting breakdown and inflammation. Studies indicate that supplementing with glucosamine sulfate, the most beneficial form of glucosamine, promotes reduction in joint pain and tenderness as well as improved range of movement and speed. People with osteoarthritis may particularly benefit from glucosamine supplementation.

Chondroitin sulfate is another substance well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can further protect against cartilage breakdown. Glucosamine and chondroitin work synergistically to stimulate new cartilage development and help reduce inflammation. Containing 600 milligrams of chondroitin sulfate per serving, Joint Support also contains shark cartilage, a natural source of additional chondroitin sulfate for enhanced benefits.

Other important ingredients have been included in Joint Support for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, essential factors for optimum joint health. Quercitin and citrus bioflavonoids belong to a group of natural compounds called flavonoids. Because of their antioxidant effects and their ability to work against histamines and other inflammatory substances, flavonoids have strong  anti-inflammatory benefits. Another ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects is tumeric, a member of the ginger family. As an added bonus, antioxidants like flavonoids and tumeric promote cardiovascular health too! Also included is Boswellia extract from the bark of a tree native to India . Boswellia has been traditionally used as a remedy for inflammation, rheumatic problems and arthritic aches and pains.

Plus, Joint Support is formulated with MSM, a compound found in protein-rich foods and certain vegetables, especially garlic and onions. MSM is rich in absorbable sulfur, a nutrient involved in numerous biochemical body processes essential for good health. In particular, sulfur is critical in maintaining connective tissues. People with arthritis typically have only one-third the amount of sulfur in their cartilage as individuals with healthy tissues. Research indicates that MSM supplementation can improve joint flexibility, reduce stiffness and swelling, reduce arthritis pain, improve circulation and may even prevent cartilage degeneration.

In addition to containing the essential amino acid L-methionine for added benefits, Joint Support has all of the natural ingredients you need to safely and effectively promote joint health.
