You have a fascinating, vibrant, and active life! Don't let occasional joint pain or stiffness take you out of play. SISU No. 7 Joint Complex is the next generation alternative after glucosamine to increase mobility, flexibility, and range of motion in sensitive joints. In strong, healthy joints, ligaments and cartilage absorb impact and allow for smooth, pain-free motion. This breakthrough formulation brings together 7 bio-active nutrients that work together in just 7 days to relieve joint pain and stiffness so you can get back into the action - without the potential side effects and risks of over-the-counter and recommendation anti-inflammatories and pain-killers.

Product Information

• Combination of 7 joint health ingredients, boswellia extract, collagen, Ester-C, turmeric, white willow, ginger, and cayenne
  
• Standardized 5-Loxin Advanced boswellia extract lowers the enzyme that stimulates the production of inflammation-causing mediators in the body
  
• Clinically proven to reduce joint pain and stiffness within 7 days
  
• UC II un-denatured type II collagen interrupts the inflammation pathway at the source; it acts as an immune modulator and can hinder the immune system from breaking down cartilage
  
• Clinically proven to be two to three times more effective in reducing pain, increasing flexibility, and improving morning stiffness than a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin
  
• itamin C is a key constituent required for the formation of collagen
  
• Ester-C is non-acidic and has superior digestibility, bioavailability, and retention than other forms of vitamin C
  
• Enhanced with supporting nutrients: white willow and ginger extracts to help with pain relief, turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, and cayenne used as a synergistic nutrient to help prime the digestive system for a better absorption

OsteoArthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, and it affects almost all of us as we age. OA usually has a gradual onset and tends to begin after the age of forty. The knees, hips, fingers and spine are the most susceptible joints. This type of arthritis will affect one or only a few joints at a time, and usually won't symmetrically affect both sides of the body at the same time (although that is possible). This is a degenerative condition that tends to worsen over time, especially with increased use of the affected joints.

How does it happen?
Most commonly, bouts of OA result from an injury to the joint, which causes some local damage that the body fails to properly repair. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, the joint deterioration in OA is due to faulty or deficient repair of bone and cartilage in the joint. This can be due to lack of the essential nutrients required for repair, or due to faulty sensory and repair mechanisms in the body.

Signs and Symptoms
Osteoarthritis causes stiffness and joint pain on motion. This stiffness is typically worse upon first movement in the morning and after long periods of rest. Initially, there is no inflammation or swelling present in the joint, but as the damage progresses the joint may become inflamed and deformed. Muscles around the joint can spasm, joint mobility may decrease and there may be a grating or grinding feeling on movement. The pain eventually becomes constant and occurs even when the affected joint is at rest. In the majority of cases OA will appear in only one place and will not be symmetrical on both sides of the body. For example, a single joint in a finger can be affected without any other joints or fingers having a problem. When the arthritis is more widespread and symmetrical, it is more likely an inflammatory condition called: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

Conventional Treatment
Medical doctors will often recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help manage the pain associated with OA. Side effects of some of these drugs include: gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, heart attacks and liver problems. Some of these medications, especially the NSAID group can actually accelerate the degradation of joint tissue and worsen the arthritis over time. More potent drugs called corticosteroids are sometimes recommended for arthritis. These will be medications like cortisone and prednisone. While they are effective at relieving discomfort in the short term, these drugs can cause loss of bone mass in the long-term. To help reduce this effect, many doctors will inject cortisone directly into the joint space to localize the therapy. Another common injection therapy involves directly injecting viscous fluid into the joint capsule to help bolster the fluid cushion (synovial fluid) between the bones. This is a temporary fix that reduces friction while the fluid lasts, before the body can reabsorb it back into the circulation.
