Joint Support Advanced                                                                                                                A formulation to help promote healthy joints Did You Know? There are two types of osteoarthritis: Primary Osteoarthritis - due to ageing; and Secondary Osteoarthritis - due to genetics, obesity and sporting injuries. Key Benefits: Joint Support Advanced helps maintain healthy joint function. It also contains Selenium and Manganese, both of which are essential minerals. Why You Need It: Joint Support Advanced has been specially formulated to provide nutritional support for active people to help maintain healthy joints and for the temporary relief of joint pain. Due to declining amounts of selenium found naturally in soil, it is important to supplement your diet. Selenium acts as a powerful antioxidant whilst Manganese is good for bone health and acts as a co-factor in several metabolic and enzymatic reactions. Key Ingredients: • Glucosamine hydrochloride - is clinically proven to support healthy joint function and comfort, and supports healthy ageing. Unlike pharmaceutical medicines that simply manage the symptoms, Glucosamine helps to delay the progression of osteoarthritis. • Scutellaria baicalensis (root) - a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herb, added for its antioxidant and healthy-ageing benefits. • Selenium - an essential mineral vital for normal function of the immune system and thyroid gland. • Manganese - a mineral that is good for bone and cartilage health and acts as a co-factor in several metabolic and enzymatic reactions. • Copper - the third most abundant trace mineral in the body, but it is often deficient in a person’s diet because food sources high in this mineral are not always consumed frequently (such as oysters and liver). • Copper works together with iron to make red blood cells and it is the major component of the outer coating of nerve fibres and collagen. Copper is used by the body to manufacture numerous enzymes, many of which work as antioxidants.
