What Customers & Health Professionals are Saying...
"I had a 94 year-old patient that was on Vicadin and Flexeril suffering from severe lower back pain with pressure fractures and a nearly frozen shoulder. I had her start taking the Joint Formula and Daily Vital-Pack and within several weeks she became completely mobile and is back to work in her rose garden. Your products are very effective and I'm proud to recommend them" - Dr. Michelle Steuber, Former President of the College of Orthopaedic Chiropractors

I used to take 3 Motrin before every stretch class just to get through it - but no longer. I cannot stress enough how this product has improved my condition and I want to share it with you. My body recovers quickly, the soreness is gone. Life is good." - Ofelia DeLavette

Product Overview
As we age, our bodies can have a hard time maintaining the joint tissues and natural lubricants necessary for free and comfortable movement. That's why elementalsT Joint Formula delivers the most popular dose of glucosamine sulfate, which not only supports joint flexibility and comfort, but also helps maintain the integrity of joint tissue. And because the benefits of glucosamine can sometimes take several weeks to be felt, Joint Formula also provides immediate relief with ingredients that have been carefully selected for their ability to promote joint comfort by reducing acute inflammation. Joint Formula is a premier formula for immediate and long term joint health and comfort.

More about the Key Ingredients

Glucosamine Sulfate - 1500mg The body naturally uses glucosamine sulfate in the production of glycosaminoglycans, which are major components of the joint cartilage matrix and the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints. Studies have shown that glucosamine sulfate promotes joint comfort, flexibility and range of motion, while it also helps maintain the structural integrity of the joints.i

Boswellia serrata resin extract - 250mg The medicinal use of boswellia dates back to the ancient Egyptians, and it remains an important ingredient in foods, beverages and cosmetics to this day. Boswellic acids extracted from the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree have been shown to inhibit some of the enzymes responsible for inflammation. Unlike some common anti-inflammatory medicines, boswellia extracts have not shown adverse gastrointestinal effects in studies.ii

Resveratrol/Japanese knotweed root extract - 50mg Resveratrol is a member of the family of plant-based nutrients called phytoalexins, a name that is derived from the Greek words for "plant" and "protectors." Resveratrol was originally isolated from the ancient Asian medicinal plant, Polygonum cuspidatum, or Japanese knotweed root. It has since been discovered in grape plants, and in 1991, in red wine. Because of the red wine connection, much of the excitement over resveratrol has focused on its potential to promote a healthy cardiovascular system through its strong antioxidant and vaso-protective activities. Laboratory studies have also shown that resveratrol can have a positive influence on some of the enzymes responsible for inflammation, including cycloogygenase and lipoxygenase. The trans isomer of resveratrol is considered to be the most biologically active. iii

Comfort Support Proprietary Blend - 750mg

Bromelain Bromelain is the common name used to describe a water-based extract of pineapples that has been standardized to a specific level of proteolytic (protein-digesting) activity, such as GDUs (or Gelatin Dissolving Units). A recent review of some of the major scientific investigations of bromelain suggests that it can play an important role in promoting joint comfort.iv

Feverfew The leaves of the feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) have been used medicinally for centuries. While experts suggest that more research is needed to firmly establish its efficacy, studies have documented feverfew's ability to limit the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins.v

Hops While hops are most famous for their role in the brewing of beer, the recent scientific attention paid to hops has nothing to do with the crafting of a new lager. Hops contain anti-inflammatory compounds known as alpha acids that have been shown to improve joint comfort and mobility in a pilot clinical trial.vi

White Willow Bark White willow bark contains salicin, a close chemical cousin of aspirin. In fact, aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, was originally produced using the salicin in white willow bark. Studies have confirmed that many of aspirin's benefits can also be achieved with white willow extracts.vii

Sea Cucumber Even though the name makes them sound like a form of oceanic vegetable, sea cucumbers are actually echinoderms and are related to starfish and sea urchins. They are considered a dietary delicacy in many Asian countries where they are also used for medicinal reasons. Sea cucumbers are a rich source of glycosaminoglycans, including chondroitin sulfate, which explains their popularity in joint support formulas.viii

Cat's Claw This South American rainforest herb has a history of use dating back at least 2000 years. Modern research has documented its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and preliminary research has begun to investigate its potential benefits in supporting joint comfort.ix

Yucca A native of the Southwestern United States and Mexico, yucca is a source of both saponins and antioxidant polyphenols. It has a long history of traditional use for reducing joint discomfort.x

Summary
Keeping up with today's active lifestyles requires joint comfort, flexibility and range of motion. Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies sometimes aren't able to maintain and replenish the natural lubricants and joint tissues that absorb the shocks of everyday life and allow us to keep moving freely and comfortably. For some, even walking up a flight of stairs or simply rising from a chair can become an exercise in endurance. With this in mind, Joint Formula was carefully designed to promote all-around joint health and comfort. With 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate per daily dose, you'll receive the most popular amount of the ingredient that has been shown to support the integrity of joint and cartilage tissue, and promote joint comfort, flexibility and range of motion. We've also provided a host of traditional preparations that were hand-selected for safety, efficacy and the ability to support the long-term benefits of glucosamine with fast-acting soreness relief.
