Bone & Joint 8 is a newly designed nutrient supplement, 8 components, for bone and joint repair. Four are essential for bone and joint structure. The first is type I Collagen is the major matrix protein of the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and the cornea of the eye. Type I Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and contributes to the health and integrity of many tissues. As the significant extracellular matrix protein in bones, Type I Collagen contributes to the ossification process of the bone matrix.
The second is type II Collagen consisting of eighteen amino acids, which amino acid contributes the profile of the joint cartilage. Type II Collagen makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage and 85-90% of collagen in articular cartilage. This is the protein needed to maintain and rebuild cartilage tissue. The aging process is associated with diminished collagen type II synthesis and a reduction in the capacity of the body to repair and maintain joint tissues.
The 3rd is chondroitin. Chondroitin is a natural substance found in a major component of cartilage, which helps build connective tissue throughout the body, including those that form joints. Because it works by retaining water, it helps add lubrication and flexibility to tissue and joints.
The 4th is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is considered a glycosaminoglycan, which gives it its capacity to hold a large volume of water along with its high viscosity. HA is distributed in joint tissues, especially in the synovial cavity, where it provides moisture and structure. The sufficient HA accounts for cushion effect to protect the joint.
The other 4 components are co-factors for bone and joint repair, which is fortified with vitamin C, manganese, methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) , and pomegranate seed extract.
Bone loss has been linked to oxidative stress, but supplementation with vitamin C has been shown to yield some protective effect. When collagen is created in the body, vitamin C is actually used up as it combines with lysine and proline. The first precursor of collagen formed is called “procollagen”. From procollagen, other types of collagen may be formed in triple-helix form and vitamin C is also used in this step as well.
Manganese is an essential nutrient that’s usually tied to iron and other minerals. Manganese plays role in bone formation and helps balance hormone naturally that effect that affect nearly every aspect of health.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) , an organic sulfur compound from lignan. MSM provides biologically active sulfur, which is the fourth most plentiful mineral in the body and needed for many different critical bodily functions every single day. It is used to improve immune function, lower inflammation and help restore healthy bodily tissue. Naturally, MSM occurs in some green vegetables and other food products.
Pomegranate , a plant compound, owns anti-inflammatory effects, it makes sense that they could help treat arthritis. Laboratory studies also have shown that pomegranate extract can block enzymes which can damage joints in people with osteoarthritis.
This unique combination of 8 natural joint supplements, which are key components of supporting and maintaining healthy function of bone and joint.
Safe, Natural Approach to Bone and Joint Health by recognizing and addressing the need for a more natural, safer approach is our mission. The objective was to incorporate scientifically proven, clinical driven, safe ingredients. We formulate with only highly pure, concentrated and specifically standardized extracts to ensure effectiveness.
