Best Joint Support featuring ArthriBlend-SR™ contains the
connective tissue-supportive nutrient glucosamine sulfate, which
provides essential building blocks for joint cartilage.
Glucosamine sulfate has been studied in numerous trials for its
ability to maintain and sustain healthy joint function. * The
formula also contains two powerful herbal extracts, Boswellin®
and Curcumin C3 Complex®. The joint protective and free radical
scavenging properties of these nutrients provide a synergy that
is complementary to glucosamine sulfate in progressively
supporting enzymatic and metabolic processes that serve to
promote optimal joint health and comfort. * Bioperine® is a
patented extract from black pepper that has been used in
conjunction with curcumin and other nutrients to enhance
nutrient bioavailability and uptake.
Best Joint Support
featuring ArthriBlend-SR™ features a unique sustained release
delivery system, ensuring optimal availability of the
health-promoting herbal and nutritional ingredients to the body

Glucosamine
sulfate
Glucosamine sulfate consists of glucosamine, an amino
sugar extracted from "chitin," a component of shellfish
skeletons. "Chitin," the resilient polysaccharide that forms the
structural framework of animal shells, is a long-chain polymer
consisting of many glucosamine molecules linked together.
Note: Glucosamine sulfate is derived from the shells of
ocean-growing shellfish. It is processed to remove all residues
of protein and impurities, yielding pure glucosamine sulfate as
the final material.
Boswellin®
Boswellia serrata is a
large, branching, deciduous tree that grows abundantly in the
dry, hilly parts of India. The gum resin exudate of Boswellia
serrata has been used in the Ayurvedic herbal system for
supporting joint function, respiratory health and liver
function. Boswellin® is an extract of the purified compound
obtained from the tree’s gummy resin.
Research has shown
that the major benefits of Boswellia serrata in promoting
healthy joints can be attributed to the active constituents of
the plant known as boswellic acids. The most important of these
compounds include beta-boswellic acid, acetyl-beta-boswellic
acid, 11-keto-beta-boswellic acid and
acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid. An analysis of samples of
Boswellin® Boswellia serrata extract showed that the extract
contains the major boswellic acids at high levels, with a total
organic acid content of over 70%.
Curcumin C3
Complex®
Curcumin C3 Complex is a standardized extract of
Curcuma longa root, commonly known as turmeric. Turmeric is a
yellow spice used in curried dishes. In the Far East, turmeric
is valued for more than just its culinary applications; turmeric
is named in ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal texts as a
traditional folk remedy. Historically, turmeric was used
externally for wounds and sprains, and internally to promote
digestive wellness, joint health, liver function, and to support
the immune system.
The active ingredients in turmeric
are a group of plant substances called curcuminoids. Known
collectively as “Curcumin,” curcuminoids have demonstrated
potent antioxidant properties in scientific studies.
Curcuminoids benefit joints and other tissues by helping to
neutralize free radicals. Curcuminoids are responsible for
turmeric’s distinctive yellow color. Although the term
“Curcumin” is used as a name for curcuminoids, “pure” curcumin
is just one curcuminoid.
Curcumin C3 ComplexÒ supplies
95% total curcuminoids, including “pure” curcumin, bisdemethoxy
curcumin and demethoxy curcumin.
