UC-II Joint Formula - 60 Count

•Joint pain and inflammation stems from a damaging cycle in which the body is failing to communicate with itself.

•How the cycle starts:

•Simple age, stress, injury and daily wear and tear initiate an inflammatory process in the body"s joints.
•At a certain threshold, the body naturally reacts to the inflammatory process with the production of collagen-specific T-cells.

•The cycle continues:

•The collagen-specific T-cells build up collagen antibodies which secrete enzymes that actually breakdown cartilage in the joint.

• The more the T-cells are allowed to produce collagen antibodies, the more the collagen enzymes will be allowed to breakdown joint cartilage.

•The cycle becomes damaging:

•The more the joint cartilage breaks down, the more pain and discomfort will result.

•Eventual result can be osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and permanent damage.

• No matter how much bone & joint building supplements you take, this damaging cycle will continue.

•UC-II allows the body to return to its natural cycle of building and maintaining healthy joint cartilage.

• Patented UC-II undenatured collagen produces molecular epitopes that interact with the body"s antibody molecules and simply deactivate the collagen-specific T-cells.

•Deactivating the collagen-specific T-cells stops the production of the collagen antibodies and the secretion of the enzymes that breakdown the cartilage.

•Preventing the damaging cycle of cartilage breakdown allows the body to naturally reverse the damage and alleviate the pain and discomfort that would occur if this cycle was allowed to continue.

•UC-II undenatured collagen is the only biologically active form of collagen available on the market. The patented process of the undenatured collagen is proven to retain collagen in its native undenatured form allowing to actively function in the body.

•UC-II undenatured collagen is clinically proven to be twice as effective as the highest quality glucosamine and chondroitin and proven to be faster in reducing pain and discomfort in joints than 1200 mg of glucosamine and 1500 mg of chondroitin. Glucosamine and chondroitin may help promote joint health, but they have not been proven to biologically stop the process that leads to systemic damage of cartilage in joints.

•UC-II has been proven to biologically stop the process that leads to systemic damage of cartilage in joints.

•UC-II formula also contains curcumin and Meriva. Amazing health benefits have been shown to be very effective in fighting chronic disease • inflammation • infections. Standard curcumin tends not to survive the body"s digestive process and usually passes through without being absorbed or used by the body. This is the very problem that patented Meriva phytosome complex has been clinically proven to correct. Meriva accomplishes this by embedding the curcumin into a phytosome "bubble" which allows for a merging with the cell membrane and the shuttling in of the Meriva into the cell where it can be used. This is key to the effective absorption of the curcumin and receiving all the benefits it has to offer.

•The proven benefits of the Meriva phytosome complex:

•Blocks inflammation: Curcumin acts as a "Master Switch" of inflammation in order to block the transcription factors involved in the inflammation process. More curcumin is absorbed in the body with the Meriva phytosome complex increasing the body"s natural ability to fight off the systemic damage caused by chronic inflammation. Patients receiving Meriva phytosome complex had major reductions of inflammation factors within 2 weeks.

•Improve factors of osteoarthritis: Human clinical trials proved Meriva Phytosome oomplex effective in reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis. The study showed a reduction in knee and hip pain, less stiffness and more mobility, plus, a treadmill test showed the group taking Meriva Phytosome Complex able to walk 200% further than the control group in just 2 months from start of trial. The Meriva group also showed a reduction in gastrointestinal problems based on a reduction in need for pain killers and prescription medication.
