The Main Ingredients in Joint Factors

Kre-Celazine

A clinically tested anti-inflammatory "non drug" patented ingredient. That alkalizes your body in helping eliminate inflamation. A balance PH is where your body functions, grows, recovers, and works best. Kre-celazine will help reduce pain, reduce inflamation, improve mobility, improve flexibility, and promote joint health.

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a compound found in the body naturally. It is made from glucose and glutamine, an amino acid. Glucosamine assists in the production of glycosaminoglycan, a molecule necessary to the formation and repair of cartilage (the rubbery substance which cushions joints). Glucosamine production slows with age. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage to become more rigid, losing its elasticity. This compromises the joint, causing it to become increasingly prone to damage, which may lead to pain, swelling, decreased mobility, and deterioration. Taking glucosamine helps to repair damaged cartilage by augmenting the body’s supply of glucosamine.

Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate is a major component of extracellular matrix, and is important in maintaining the structural integrity of the tissue and is used as an alternative medicine to treat osteoarthritis.

Turmeric

Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties via COX-2 inhibition, prevention of leukotriene formation, and direct effects on inflammatory cells. Additionally it helps arthritic pain by depleting nerve endings of the neurotransmitter of pain, substance P. Studies also show an ability to stimulate production of natural cortisone in the body.

Calcium Citrate

Clinical studies show that Calcium Citrate can stabilize bone mass and help reduce the rate of bone loss. Calcium is essential to build strong skeletons. Getting enough calcium in our diets can be critical for reducing the risk of developing osteoporosis, a disease that causes brittle, easily broken bones.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium is a vital catalyst in enzyme activity. It assists in calcium and potassium uptake. A deficiiency of magnesium interferes with the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses, and also aids in maintaining the body's proper pH balance. Magnesium is necessary to prevent the calcification of soft tissue. This essential mineral protects the arterial linings from stress caused by sudden blood pressure changes, and plays a role in the formation of bone and in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism.

Potassium Citrate

Potassium Citrate helps maintain bone density and muscle mass in healthy adults.

Biotin

Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin not only assists in various metabolic reactions, but also helps to transfer carbon dioxide. Biotin is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. It's useful in alleviating muscle pain and preventin exhaustion. It also helps nerve tissues and bone marrow remain healthy and work efficiently.

MSM

MSM serves as an important source of bio-available sulphur. This is critical since sulphur is essential for healthy connective tissue, joint function, proper enzyme activity, hormone balance, and proper function of the immune system.

Most importantly, sulfur is necessary for making collagen, the primary constituent of connective tissue and an important part of cartilage.

Bromelain

Bromelain is a mixture of protein-digesting (proteolytic) enzymes found in pineapples (Ananas comosus ). Pineapple has been used for centuries in Central and South America to treat indigestion and reduce inflammation.

Studies show that bromelain was as effective as some commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications for reducing pain associated with osteoarthritis. Similarly, studies suggest that bromelain may also help reduce pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption and maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and prevent hypocalcemic tetany.

Vitamin D is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is one of 8 B vitamins. In addition to producing energy for the body, Vitamin B2 also works as an antioxidant by scavenging damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. Free radicals occur naturally in the body but can damage cells and DNA, and may contribute to the aging process as well as the development of a number of health conditions such as heart disease and cancer.

Antioxidants such as Vitamin B2 can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or help prevent some of the damage they cause. Vitamin B2 is also needed to help the body convert vitamin B6 and folate into active forms.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 performs a wide variety of functions in your body and is essential for your good health. For example, vitamin B6 is needed for more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism. It is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. Additionally, some studies show that vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) supplements may ease the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
