Joint Complex (single dose)

Verifiable Science

Joint Complex (single dose) contains UC-II^® undenatured type-II collagen complex, hyaluronic acid and MSM to support joint health, flexibility, and comfort. In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 52 subjects, 40 mg of UC-II^® was more than twice as effective in promoting joint health as 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 1,200 mg of chondroitin as rated by WOMAC, VAS, and the Lequesne functional index.¹ Another study involving five women supplemented with 40 mg of UC-II^® for 42 days, indicated statistically significant support for joint comfort and flexibility.² MSM provides sulfur to enhance the structure and integrity of proteoglycans. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial indicates that MSM promotes joint comfort and function.³ Researchsuggests that MSM may also support antioxidant capacity during exercise.⁴ Hyaluronic acid helps maintain tissue hydration to support joint lubrication⁵ HyaMax^® sodium hyaluronate provides a low molecular weight source of hyaluronic acid produced through fermentation. In a pharmacokinetic study, orally administered HyaMax^® hyaluronic acid was incorporated into joints, connective tissue, and skin, with a particular affinity for cartilaginous joints. Lastly, 5-LOXIN^® AKBA boswellia and enhanced absorption Meriva^® turmeric extracts help maintain healthy 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme activity and cytokine metabolism to offer additional joint comfort support.^6,7‡
