Joint Support System
Give Your Joints the Nutrition They Need To Function Normally
This complete Joint Support System includes two unique nutritional products: JOINT LUBE and JOINT RENEWAL, each containing a proprietary combination of synergistic nutrients to help promote healthy cartilage and joint functions.
Three softgels of JOINT LUBE supply:

Vitamin E (as natural mixed tocopherols) – 22.5 IU
Unstable and highly reactive compounds called free radicals are associated with many chronic degenerative health conditions, including conditions involving joint inflammation and deterioration. The outstanding antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties of Vitamin E help neutralize free radicals and prevent damage they cause to healthy tissues, including joint tissue. Vitamin E has also been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity as well as the ability to inhibit the breakdown of cartilage and to stimulate the formation of new cartilage components.

Vegetable Oils – 2500 mg
Oil of Evening Primrose (10% GLA) 500 mg
Oil of Borage (24% GLA) 500 mg
Black Currant Seed Oil (16% GLA) 500 mg
Flaxseed Oil (omega-3 cold pressed) 1000 mg
Evening Primrose, Borage, Black Currant Seed and Flaxseed contain fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) which are essential for health but cannot be made by the body. Omega-6 fatty acids (GLA) and omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for providing balanced and efficient production of hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins. Appropriate intakes of both omega-6 and omega-3 essential oils are required to regulate prostaglandin metabolism to produce beneficial effects in the treatment of various health problems, including conditions associated with joint inflammation.

Rosemary (extract) 7.5 mg
A powerful antioxidant and known as the “herb of remembrance” due to its anti-aging properties, Rosemary is thought to be helpful in conditions characterized by joint degeneration and loss of cartilage. Rosemary Extract also protects the Essential Oils from oxidation.JOINT LUBE is free of sugar, starch, yeast, salt, wheat, corn, or milk, preservatives, and artificial colors-flavors.
Two capsules of JOINT RENEWAL supply:

Glucosamine Sulfate 500 mg
Glucosamine is made in the body and used to synthesize proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, which form the matrix of connective tissue. Glucosamine supplements facilitate the production of these substances. According to numerous research studies, supplementation with Glucosamine Sulfate may stimulate new cartilage synthesis while helping maintain healthy joint function.

Mucopolysaccharides (bovine cartilage) – 100 mg and Shark Cartilage, purified – 100 mg
Mucopolysaccharides form a thick gelatinous material, which is found in many places in the body and functions to lubricate as well as “glue” cells together. Bovine and Shark Cartilage extracts contain a mixture of intact or partially hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides), which have been found to help support cartilage and connective tissue regeneration.

Boswellin® (Boswellia serrata extract) – 100 mg
A gum-resin extract from the Boswellia serrata, a large branching tree native to India, this Ayurvedic herb has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Unlike non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) which may accelerate joint damage, Boswellin® slows the damage caused to joints and has been clinically shown to reduce joint discomfort.

Sea Cucumber (powder) – 100 mg
Sea Cucumbers are marine animals related to starfishes and sea urchins. Used in China for thousands of years for relieving joint discomfort, researchers believe that Sea Cucumbers may provide benefit through their effect on prostaglandins, which regulate the inflammatory process. Additional benefit may result from various substances they contain such as mucopolysaccharides and chondroitins (often low in people with arthritis and connective tissue disorders) as well as vitamins (A, B1-Thiamin, B2-Riboflavin, B3-Niacin, and C), and minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc).

Feverfew (extract) – 100 mg
The principal active compound found in Feverfew, parthenolide, is thought to be involved in serotonin metabolism. This herb has been reported to provide relief from pain and soreness associated with conditions involving joint inflammation.

White Willow Bark (extract) – 50 mg
The salicin in White Willow Bark is known as “herbal aspirin” and has been used to reduce joint related inflammation.

Yucca (powder) (root) – 100 mg
Known as a “blood purifier”, the Yucca plant contains large quantities of saponins, the active components thought to be responsible for the effect that has been observed in relation to conditions associated with joint inflammation. Researchers believe that saponins act by indirectly affecting the gastrointestinal flora. It has been suggested that saponins may in fact decrease the absorption of bacterial endotoxins, which have been shown to depress the manufacture of cartilage.

Cat’s Claw Extract (uncaria tomentosa) (root) – 200 mg
This Amazonian herb contains glycosides, which may reduce inflammation and edema, and enhance the immune system. According to some researchers, Cat’s Claw extract may help relieve inflammation in the joints.

Bromelain (600-GDU) – 100 mg
Bromelain (a proteolytic enzyme) is naturally found in pineapple and has been shown to prevent inflammation. Researchers believe that Bromelain may help reduce compounds such as immune antigen complexes and fibrin, which have been implicated in some joint related health conditions. JOINT RENEWAL is free of sugar, starch, yeast, salt, wheat, corn, milk products, preservatives, and artificial colors-flavors-dyes.
