Over 70
million Americans,1 approximately 1 in 3, have
Arthritis (2003). The number has doubled since 1997.
Chances are,
you or someone you know has arthritis.2 It
causes pain, stiffness, and sometimes swelling in or
around joints. This can make it hard to complete simple
movements you rely on every day for work or taking care of
your family. But you can take steps now to avoid arthritis
or to reduce pain and resume normal daily activities.
There are
more than 100 different types of arthritis and the cause
of most types is unknown.3 Scientists are
currently studying the roles three major factors play in
certain types of arthritis. These include the genetic
factors you inherit from your parents, events which occur
during your life, and how you live on a day-to-day basis.
The importance of these factors varies for every type of
arthritis.
Even though
there is a lot of mystery surrounding arthritic joint
pain, there is also a tremendous amount of research, which
points to certain nutrients that help nutritionally
support this condition.
Both short
and long term studies have been performed with a nutrient
called Glucosamine Sulfate. Glucosamine works to
stimulate joint function and repair. It is most effective
in treating osteoarthritis, the most prevalent form of
arthritis. A number of studies over the last 20 years
have shown this to be true. For example, a 1982 clinical
study compared usage of the NSAID ibuprofen with
glucosamine sulfate, for osteoarthritis of the knee. The
overall results showed that 44% of the glucosamine group
had pain relief compared to 15% for ibuprofen.4
A long-term
effects study was done with glucosamine and arthritis
reported in the Lancet.5 The authors concluded
that, "Glucosamine sulfate prevents the progression of
osteoarthritis of the knee, in addition to relieving the
symptoms."
Studies have
also been done on discs with Chelated magnesium and new
research has shown promising benefits with essential fatty
acids.6
The
Greatest Vitamin in the World not only contains all of
these nutrients, it utilizes the exact forms that were
shown in the studies to be effective. The best forms of
glucosamine to look for are:
Glucosamine
Sulfate 2Kcl, which is the exact form used in most of the
studies showing benefit.
Amino Acid
Chelated magnesium, which was used in the Albion study on
disc repair.7
We also
utilize fatty acids like CLA and a proprietary form of
lecithin to benefit joint health.8
It is hard to
enjoy your family, friends, hobbies or even money without
your health, and joint pain is definitely one of the big
contributing factors to a poor quality of life. The
Greatest Vitamin in the World formula brings these
great joint nutrients together to nutritionally support
the entire body in addition to fulfilling 100% of its
daily requirements of all of the essential nutrients.
