Pycnogenol® for Joint Health
Pycnogenol® consumption was found to naturally inhibit generation of COX-2 enzymes during inflammation in humans, thus providing a significant contribution for lowering joint pain.
In various studies, Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract demonstrated its ability to promote joint mobility and flexibility and naturally relieve the aching. It was also shown that after supplementing with Pycnogenol®, joints were more flexible and less medication was required. In addition Pycnogenol® has been found to lower inflammatory markers of joint soreness.
Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® in the world. Isotonix® dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to in obtaining maximum absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.

Why is sufficient daily calcium important?
Did you know? Sufficient daily calcium intake is necessary for maintaining optimal bone density, healthy bones and teeth and has been shown to ease the discomfort of PMS in women. When the body does not get enough calcium per day, it draws calcium from your bones.
Joint Supplements - three main ingredients
The research on both chondroitin and MSM is very controversial. Chondroitin, for instance, has very poor absorption due to its high molecular weight. Likewise, research on MSM is not conclusive. In fact, it takes large quantities of MSM daily (2-6 grams) to make a difference and see effects.
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function. Although it is produced naturally by the body, the level of hyaluronic acid diminishes with age, contributing to joint discomfort. It is a key component of cartilage, and is important for skin, joint and eye health. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to help maintain strong, healthy cartilage. It may also enhance synovial fluid production and promote normal healing.
Research behind glucosamine is consistent and its benefits effective. An aminomonosaccharide (a combination of the amino acid — glutamine and a sugar — glucose), glucosamine is concentrated in joint cartilage, and has been scientifically proven to support healthy joint function and promote the normal production of synovial fluid, which lubricates your joints and regenerates cartilage.
Pycnogenol is an ingredient that should be included in joint formulas, but is not very common. The body’s inflammatory response is a natural process. It is an essential component of the body’s defense system, and can be triggered from numerous internal and external factors. Pycnogenol has been shown help support the body’s defense system by inhibiting over active inflammatory responses associated with the normal aging process.
One product that includes Glucosamine, Hyaluronic Acid and Pycnogenol is Prime™ Joint Support Formula by Isotonix®. The beauty of this product is that not only does it supply all the ingredients that have been proven to work best for joint support, but it does so in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to obtain maximum absorption of the nutrients. The isotonic state of the suspension allows nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and rapidly absorb into the bloodstream.
Curcumin for inflamation and joint health
Extensive clinical trials over the past quarter century have addressed the safety and efficacy of curcumin against numerous diseases in humans. Some promising effects have been observed in patients with various pro-inflammatory diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and many more.
Curcumin is known to possess potent anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties. In a recent pilot clinical study published in Phytotherapy Research, evaluated the safety and effectiveness of curcumin alone, and in combination with diclofenac sodium in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. The patients diagnosed with RA were split into three groups receiving either curcumin (500 mg) and diclofenac sodium (50 mg) alone or their combination. Patients in all three treatment groups showed statistically significant improvement, but the curcumin group showed the highest percentage of improvement. The study provides the first evidence for the safety and superiority of curcumin treatment in patients with active RA.
Scientists have long been aware of the wide array of health benefits from the Indian spice turmeric, which is a source of the active phytochemical curcumin. Until now, curcumin has been known to have poor bioavailability, requiring high doses to promote health. BCM-95® delivers significantly more pharmacologically bioactive curcumin into the blood than other curcumin sources. This new delivery system allows for a variety of health benefits.
There are many curcumin products on the market, but Curcumin Extreme™ with BCM-95® has superior bioavailability and absorption.
