What is JointEase Plus?
JointEase Plus means FREEDOM! Those
who suffer from arthritis and other muscular
skeletal problems will yearn for freedom from
pain and freedom to walk and move with ease.
JointEase Plus contains 100% pure Harpagophytum
Procumbens, also known as 'Sengaparile,'
'Devil's Claw' or 'Duiwelsklou', because of
the claw-like shape of its fruit. For thousands
of years, the Khoisan people of the Kalahari
Desert (in Southern Africa) have used Devil's
Claw to treat painful joint conditions
and other health problems.
Our new and even more powerful formula now
combines Devil's Claw with Glucosamine sulphate
and Boswellia serata, both in the forefront of
latest developments in the natural treatment
of inflammatory joint and muscle conditions.

How effective is JointEase Plus?
Clinical studies have
demonstrated the effectiveness of Devil's Claw in treating
joint conditions like osteo-arthritis, fibrositis,
rheumatism and small joint disease, (Lecompte and Costa,
1992). It has also been scientifically proven to assist
in the treatment of lower backache (Chrubasik, 1996).
In a study by Brady et al, (1981), serum cholestol
and uric acid levels were shown to be reduced after
treatment with Devil's Claw. Scientific studies have
also indicated that it is effective in stimulating
the lymphatic system to increase resistance against
disease.
Glucosamine is naturally
manufactured in the body and scientists know that this
simple substance is found in relatively high concentrations
in the joints and connective tissues, where its function
is to repair cartilage and maintain joint mobility.
Boswellia has been used
for thousands of years as a natural anti-inflammatory.
Modern science has verified that boswellic acids contained
within the herb can block the formation of leukotrienes,
the immune cells responsible for inflammation, while
also promoting the formation of free radicals. With
regular use, blood supply to the joints is also maintained,
keeping soft tissue nourished and viable.
JointEase Plus contains:
Harpagophytum Procumbens (Devil's
Claw): This herb is indigenous to the Kalahari
Desert and is exclusive to Africa. Because of its
powerful anti-inflammatory properties, Devil's Claw
is used world-wide for osteo-arthritis, fibrositis,
rheumatism, small joint disease and lower backache.
Scientific analysis shows that the most important
active ingredients in Devil's Claw include monoterpine,
harpagoside, glycoside, beta-sitosterol, procumbine
and stigmasterol. Warning: Because of its strong
anti-inflammatory properties, JointEase is not recommended
for people with stomach ulcers or those with any
heart conditions, unless supervised by a medical
practitioner.
Glucosamine sulphate: is
one of the best bio-available forms of glucosamine
supplements and it has been shown that 90 - 98% is
readily absorbed in the intestines. Glucosamine has
been approved for the treatment of arthritis and other
joint and muscular conditions in more than 70 countries
throughout the world. Studies have demonstrated its
ability to decrease pain and inflammation, increase
range of motion and to help repair aging and damaged
joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine. Recent
studies have suggested that glucosamine may be even
more effective than the non steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin and ibuprofen, without
the harmful side-effects associated with these drugs.
It is well known that while the NSAIDS may mask the
pain of arthritis and other joint conditions, they
can also impair the body's ability to produce cartilage,
thereby worsening the condition in the long run and
increasing dependence on anti-inflammatories. In contrast,
glucosamine relieves pain and inflammation, while also
building and repairing cartilage and connective tissue
thereby going far beyond pain relief.
Boswellia serata: Extracts
of the gum of this tree found in India have been used
for thousands of years to relieve pain and inflammation.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that boswellia
has the ability to inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators
in the body and to reduce pain and inflammation without
irritating or ulcerating the stomach lining. Boswellia
has also been shown to be beneficial in the treatment
of ulcerative colitis.
