Cartilage Complex™ Information Sheet To maintain a healthy joint the body needs several kinds of soft tissue nutrients available in cartilage. This formula contains NEM TM, a novel, natural eggshell membrane and Kolla II ®, a natural cartilage extract. All four types of collagens that support a healthy cartilage are represented here. NEM TM is clinically proven to improve joint health faster than any other joint heath ingredient. Eggshell membrane consists of chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine like substances but also hyaluronic acid, collagen and other proteins. The prevalence of degenerative and others joint diseases in the US are enormous. More than 40 million adults have some form of connective tissue disease. Thus it is imperative for all of us to actively try to maintain healthy joints before tissue deterioration occurs. While most commonly known joint health supporting substances are widely used, such as glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, MSM, and others, they are chemically derived and often bring no benefits. The main ingredient used here, the egg shell membrane is 100% natural and contains all the proteins and other substance needed to maintain joint flexibility and a pain free status. Recent studies have shown that NEM® egg shell membrane significantly decreased a number of key pro inflammatory functions in rats. In human clinical studies one fourth of patients already had a greater than 50% reduction in pain intensity in ten days; the majority of subjects had a 72% reduction in pain and stiffness by 30 days. The importance of egg shell membrane becomes evident when one considers that a double punch is delivered here: nutrients are provided to maintain healthy joints; and physiological processes are supported that maintain a normal healthy level of inflammation. Unique trace minerals Key trace minerals are needed to enable the normal function of joints. Due to the poor quality of today's even so called superior food products most people are actually deficient in these trace minerals. This formula provides a comprehensive complement of these minerals as well some unusual trace minerals derived from gemstones and the metal stannum, all known to specifically support the energetic strengths of the joints. Herbal ingredients To maintain an optimal tissue function good blood circulation to the joints is needed. This is facilitated by the various herbs such as rosemary and nettles present here. Frankincense (boswellia), of a special high quality in this preparation, is essential in maintaining an inflammation free, healthy environment. Bioperine ® This pepper extract, discussed in several other places on this web site, is valuable in increasing the absorption and blood levels of the various nutrients included in this formula.
