Joint Flex
To nourish the joints and aid freedom of movement.
HOW DOES ARTHRITIS DEVELOP?
Arthritis develops as a result of joint
b). dietary imbalance
c). deformity (developmental or genetic)
In a healthy joint (1), cartilage which forms the ends of bones, exists as a strong, lubricated and compressible matrix in a fluid-filled capsule.
The primary function of cartilage is to bear and distribute weight evenly within the joint, providing a cushioning effect and enabling freedom of movement .
Cartilage is under constant stress and is being constantly worn away - even by normal use. Fortunately, given adequate raw materials (nutrients), the cartilage matrix has the ability to repair and replenish itself .
Cartilage breakdown (2) occurs over time if the nutrients required for replenishment remain unavailable. In these situations the matrix is unable to rebuild fast enough. If this continues, the smooth, low-friction surface erodes, bone ends become exposed, bone spurs form on the edge of bones and inflammation beings to restrict movement.
Eventually cartilage maintenance and repair wanes and the joint cartilage is eroded away.

Ingredients: Glucosamine is an essential building block of cartilage and joint fluid. By stimulating cartilage synthesis and increasing joint fluid it helps repair damaged cartilage, thereby improving joint function. Bovine and Shark cartilage (quota caught under quota management by MPI) provide a complete range of essential components of cartilage, especially chondroitins (GAGs) and collagen which bind together to provide strength, cushioning and flexibility. Known as chondroprotectives, they maintain the integrity of cartilage and aid repair and maintenance of healthy cartilage. They also provide minerals and hydroxyapatite, essential components of bone that provides structural support for the overlying cartilage. NZ Green lipped mussel supplements joint nutrition by providing a unique combination of complex proteins, fatty acids, chondroitins, chelated minerals, and a glycogen fraction which maintain joint flexibility and mobility.
Vitamins C & E are potent anti-oxidants required as cofactors in the synthesis of cartilage. They guard against free radical damage that contributes to cartilage degeneration . Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is an essential cofactor for cartilage synthesis. Boron, manganese, magnesium, zinc, copper, and selenium provide additional essential cofactors for cartilage synthesis. They may be soil deficient or unavailable due to modern farming and food manufacturing practices. Kelp is another excellent source of chelated minerals. MSM is found naturally in milk, fruit and vegetables, and provides a bio-available source of sulphur which is essential for joint nutrition . Devil's Claw is a dried herb that provides nutritional support for healthy joint function.
