One of three Americans suffers from arthritis. There are two forms of this disease that are most common . . . rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease and can strike at any age. The most prevalent type, however, is osteoarthritis, also known as “wear and tear” arthritis. It is a degenerative disease that develops with age and overuse. It usually affects the weight-bearing joints (hips, knees, lower spine), though other joints (finger, thumbs, shoulders) may be afflicted. Poor nutrition, dehydration and environmental or food allergies contribute and aggravate osteoarthritis progression. Obesity, currently near epidemic in America, plays a significant role.
MegaFlax Joint has been formulated to deliver a synergistic boost to joint health. Research demonstrates that the essential omega 3 oils decrease inflammation and degradation and help to prevent cartilage damage, slowing the progression of degenerative joint disease. This beneficial action is a result of the powerful regulating roll of the essential fatty acids in stimulating the bodies’ anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and in suppressing those that promote this chronic degenerative process.
MegaFlax Joint’s synergy lies in coupling balanced essential fatty acids from organic flaxseed with vegetarian glucosamine that can regenerate the synovial membranes and fluid that lubricates the joints. Additional anti-inflammatory action from phytonutrients such as ginger and curcumin, carotenes and bioflavinoids from our proprietary bioflavinoid blend and natural plant enzyme blend further support joint health. Antioxidant vitamins, sea calcium and zinc complete this Whole Body Superfood with a wonderful boost from whole food ingredients.
MegaFlax Joint is an effective and affordable adjunct for maintaining joint health. Taken daily it offers a way to reduce or even eliminate conventional drug protocols such as analgesics, salicylates, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids.
