Stop Joint Degeneration & Eliminate Your Pain in Just Minutes a Day!
Joint degeneration is a HUGE problem. It affects over 250 million people worldwide. [1] What’s more, those numbers are rising rapidly and leading medical journals are expecting them to be about 25% higher by the year 2040! [2]
In the United States, joint degeneration (or osteoarthritis) accounts for 1/4 of all visits to primary care physicians. [3]
Osteoarthritis or joint degeneration is not an auto-immune or and inflammatory condition – it is the mechanical “wearing down” and physical destruction of the joint surfaces. Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:
- Pain
- Tenderness at the joint
- Limited range of motion in your joints
- A grating or scraping sound or feeling with movement
- Increased pain & stiffness with prolonged inactivity
- Muscle weakness & Atrophy (loss of muscle bulk)
- Joint deformity – they may appear larger or more “knobby” than usual
The reasons behind the rising levels of joint degeneration around the world are complex and multi-faceted for sure. However, in looking at the scientific literature on the topic, there’s simply no question that we have some measure of control over this process.
Joint degeneration and arthritis are a worldwide problem but, people in all parts of the world DO NOT suffer equally.
One study found that the incidence of hip osteoarthritis among elderly people in China was 80-90% lower than age-matched peers in the United States. [4]
Modern Day Deficiencies
There are a number of nutrient deficiencies associated with the modern diet but, let me give you just a couple important examples.
A 2007 study published in the British Medical Journal examined intake of the trace mineral boron around the world and compared it with rates of osteoarthritis and what they found was absolutely incredible!
In areas with low boron intake the incidence of osteoarthritis ranged between 20-70%.
While in areas with high boron intake (just 3-10mg) the incidience of osetoarthritis was slashed to 0-10%.[5]
A 2018 study from the journal Clinical Biochemistry found that just having low blood levels of Type III Collagen was an early warning sign for osteoarthritis. [6]
Like boron deficiency these things are relatively simple to correct but that process has to begin with awareness about the problem. But for some reason, you never hear about these important findings. Even more surprising is the fact that most doctors have no idea about how effective these nutrient-based treatments can be.
There are 1.5 billion in the world suffering with chronic pain and as the dust from the opioid epidemic settles and public awareness about their dangers increases, those people are looking for relief in other places. NSAIDs were the go-to treatment option for decades before opioids came on the seen and even though they are not addictive, they come with their own set of well-documented problems.
First and foremost, they’re not effective for many chronic pain conditions. In fact, a 2017 study published in The Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases found no significant differences in back pain and disability, among 6,000 people, between taking NSAIDs and a sugar pill. [7]
Second, although it is rarely considered (or even mentioned) NSAIDs have some very serious side effects.
According to the American Journal of Medicine, NSAIDs are responsible for over 100,000 hospitalizations each year and “at least 16,500 deaths among arthritis patients alone.” [8]
The good news for the 15% of the population regularly taking NSAIDs and everyone suffering with chronic pain is that there is a much better way to control and maybe even eliminate your pain. [9]
There Has Got To Be A Better Way
Have you ever heard of ApresFlex®? It’s a super-concentrate that combines extract of Boswellia serrata and B. serrata non-volatile oil with AKBA – the most powerful of the four boswellic acids. You can think of ApresFlex® as Boswellia Serrata on steroids.
In one study on people with osteoarthritis of the knee, ApresFlex produced a 70% reduction in pain levels in just 90 days. [10]
Can you believe that? Just from taking this one compound!
Building Blocks For Healthy Tissue
You’ve probably heard of collagen. What you may not know is that collagen is the most abundant protein in your whole body. There are at least 16 different types of collagen and some are far more studied and understood than others.
A 2017 study found that daily consumption of Type I collagen conveyed some incredible benefits in just 3 short weeks! [11]
Benefits of daily consumption of Type I Collagen include:
- Anti-Inflammatory effects
- Increased Chondrocytes (cells that form cartilage)
- Cartilage Preservation [11]
Endocannabinoid Magic
Endocannabinoids are a class signaling molecules that your body produces naturally. They help regulate a number of important processes within your body including: mood, immunity, memory, stress and pain.
Palmitoylethanolamide or PEA, is an endocannabinoid that was discovered way back in the 1940’s. It has repeated demonstrated the ability to control inflammation and produce massive reductions in pain.
In one 2012 study, researchers took over 600 people suffering from chronic pain with whom conventional medical treatments had failed to control their pain. These people were given PEA 2 times a day for 3 weeks and then, once a day for 4 weeks.
At the end of the 7 week study, every single one of these people reported significant reductions in pain and there were no adverse effects! [12]
Trace Minerals To Take Out Pain
Boron is a trace mineral that’s found in foods like hazelnuts, prunes, peaches and raisins. Even though you’ve probably never heard of it, this mineral’s ability to reduce pain and improve mobility in people suffering from advanced joint degeneration is nothing short of astonishing!
Multiple studies have demonstrated as much a 70% reduction in pain in just 8 weeks of supplementing with boron! [13]
In addition to eliminating pain, one of of the many benefits of boron is its ability to wipe out joint stiffness. Three separate studies on osteoarthritis showed 50% reductions in rigidity with just 4 weeks supplementation! [14]
Equally Effective Without The Side Effects
In 2019, researchers put another a special kind of undenatured collagen called UC-II® into a head-to-head comparison against NSAIDs in K9 subjects with diagnosed osteoarthritis.
After 16-weeks of supplementation, they found that UC-II® undenatured collagen created similar improvements in mobility and they did it with zero side effects! [15]
Eighteen separate studies on UC-II® collagen have shown that it:
- Decreases pain
- Improves mobility
- Increases functionality at a level comparable to NSAIDs [16]
As a side effect, UC-II® also prevents your immune system from breaking down joint cartilage, promotes healing & repair of damaged tissue and increases your capacity for tissue regeneration. [17,18]
And For People With Headaches...
Ginger is highly regarded throughout the world for its medicinal properties & it has been in use for 1,000s of years. It’s probably best known for relieving nausea, settling the stomach & easing cold & flu symptoms but ginger also has a well-earned reputation for stamping out pain and inflammation.
A 2013 study compared ginger to one of the most-commonly prescribed migraine drugs and found that the two were equally effective for relieving migraine symptoms. [19]
Not only is a concentrated dose of ginger capable of accomplishing these type of amazing results but, it can do it with zero side effects!
Incredible Enzymes
Bromelain is a group of powerful enzymes that come from the pineapple plant. There’s a ;arge body of literature to support Bromelain’s use for reducing pain & inflammation in the body.
A randomized, double-blind clinical study from 2000 on people suffering with knee pain reported 80% reductions in pain scores in just 3 weeks of treatment with bromelain! [20]
The researchers concluded that bromelain should be considered “a safe and effective alternative to NSAIDs” for people with knee pain from osteoarthritis. [20]
Motor Oil For Your Joints
Hyaluronic Acid is a thick gooey fluid that’s naturally produced inside your body. It’s found in large amounts inside of joints and connective tissue. The main function of hyaluronic acid is to keep tissues moist & well-lubricated and to ensure that joints move smoothly & easily. You can think of it like motor oil for your joints.
A study from 2010 discovered another amazing benefit. Hyaluronic acid provides long-term protection to joint surfaces.
Just 4 months of supplementation with Hyaluronic Acid leads to measurably healthier joints!
- Significant increases in collagen type II synthesis
- Reduction in the breakdown of cartilage matrix. [21]
Slam The Door On Degeneration
Glucosamine – naturally-occurring sugar molecule found in the synovial fluid surrounding your joints. Its main function in the body is to preserve the integrity and health of your cartilage. The problem is that with age, the level of glucosamine inside your joints goes down – this seems to open the door the for joint degeneration.
Multiple long-term studies have shown dramatic reductions & even a complete stop in the loss of joint space over time. [22]
Two very long-term studies demonstrated huge reductions (over 50%) in the need for knee replacement in people supplementing with glucosamine. [23]
All In One
The deeper I dug into the scientific literature, the more I found. There are at least FIVE all-natural substances that have gone head-to-head NSAIDs in rigorous clinical testing and come out showing comparable (or better) results for eliminating pain. And unlike NSAIDs, these substances boast an impeccable safety record that prescription and over-the-counter pain killers could only dream about!
One substance I read about, is capable of eliminating massive amounts of swelling & pain in just 2-3 days! [24] It’s been shown to be many times more effective than standard conventional treatments for the exact same types of problems.
Then, I set out to create a super-compound by putting that had all these amazing nutrients, in the right amounts and in their most bioavailable form, in the same place at the same time.
