Why CMO, Glucosamine and
Chondroitin Sulfate?
The
unique benefits of combining Chondroitin, Glucosamine and hydrolyzed CMO
cartilage acts to both accelerate the effects of the glucosamine and to
promote lubrication in the joints, resulting in freedom of movement for
people suffering from joint and cartilage problems.
CMO
The discovery of cis-9-cetylmyristoleate (CMO) in 1994, has been hailed
by medical researchers like Dr. Harry Diehl of the National Institute
of Health as "one of the most important discoveries this century in treating
joint and cartilage problems." The active ingredients in CMO are wholly
derived from 100% natural bovine food sources. When used for joint support,
in a randomized clinical trial, cetyl myristoleate achieved an astounding
87.3% response when taken with glucosamine and hydrolyzed cartilage (as
formulated in ArthritiCare).

Glucosamine
Is made up of glucose and glutamine, substances used naturally by the
body to keep cartilage moist and pliant. Glucosamine plays a vital role
in the structuring of healthy bone, cartilage, and other tissues. Glucosamine
is also one of the nutrients that form the cushioning ingredients in the
fluids of the joints and surrounding tissues.

Chondroitin Sulfate
Appears to work together with Glucosamine, in both practical and in clinical
trials, to help build new cartilage and resolve the underlying condition
associated with redness and swelling. When these nutrients, found naturally
in the joints, are not sufficiently available to the body, associated
joint problems often result.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Sulfate - clinical
trials summary:
"An analysis of clinical trials
on glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for treating osteoarthritis has
shown that these compounds have some efficacy against the symptoms of
this form of arthritis.
The study, by Timothy E. McAlindon, DM, and colleagues at the Boston University
School of Medicine, located 37 studies of the compounds in osteoarthritis
by a thorough review of the scientific literature published over more
than three decades.
Based on data from the trials, the researchers calculated an overall "effect
size" for the two compounds: the figure 0.2 is considered a small effect;
0.5, moderate; and 0.8, large. The researchers calculated an effect size
for glucosamine of 0.44 and for chondroitin sulfate of 0.78..."**

study was published in the March 15, 2000, issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA).

MSM
Methyl-sulfonyl-methane is a naturally-occurring dietary sulfur compound
found in all living things. Medical research indicates that MSM can offer
men and women benefits that include Anti-inflammatory and pain relief
to help with joint function. It improves your natural defenses against
allergies and environmental toxins. As an immune system ‘normalizer’ it
helps undo the source of many health problems and diseases.
Pregnenolone
Is produced naturally in the body and used for the building-block of many
hormones. It facilitates inflammation relief. Medical researchers believe
it plays a major role in anti-aging by helping your body produce healthy
levels of many essential hormones. As a ‘hormone precursor’ it may be
the key to regaining "younger" levels of vital hormones.
Comfrey
Its leaves are of much value as an external remedy for sprains, swellings
and bruises and as a poultice to severe cuts and ulcers. It has always
been deemed excellent for soothing pain in any tender, inflamed or bruised
areas. It is useful in any kind of inflammatory swelling.
Ginger
Aids in digestion and stimulates blood circulation to vital organs and
bone joint areas.
Primrose Oil
Aids autoimmune system and reduces depression.
Dong Quai
Frequently used by the Chinese as a strengthening treatment for the heart,
spleen, liver and kidneys. Both men and women use the herb as a general
blood tonic. It contains vitamins E, A and B12. Researchers have isolated
at least six derivatives that exert antispasmodic effects and acts as
a blood purifier, to promote blood circulation and nourish the blood in
both sexes. It is high in iron content and may help to prevent iron deficiency
and anemia. Studies show that it can aid in regulating blood sugar.
Citric Acid
Natural anti-oxidant & stabilizer.
Vitamin A
Helps cells reproduce normally: maintain healthy membranes; prevent invasion
by disease-causing microorganisms; stimulates immunity.
Vitamin E
Anti-oxidant, prevents free-radical damage, helps treat fibrocystic growths,
improves stamina.
Panthenol (vitamin B5)
Important role in metabolism of fats, carbohydrates & proteins. It fosters
growth & maintenance of body tissues, delays onset of fatigue, improves
ability to heal.
Glycerine
Is a vegetable based emulsifier oil and stabilizer.
Allantoin
Is a water-soluble crystal known to help to heal wounds and encourage
healthy tissue growth.
