How it works
The ingredients in Blackmores Joint Formula
Advanced are important for the maintenance of healthy
cartilage and bone.
Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint degeneration
and loss of cartilage. As we get older the 'wear and
tear effects of use may cause degenerative changes in
the cartilage. The cartilage becomes more susceptible to
breakdown and damage, which may result in the typical
symptoms of osteoarthritis. Ageing decreases the ability
to restore and synthesize normal cartilage.
Glucosamine is a natural component
of the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. It is a
major building block of the substances that together
with protein form the structural units in cartilage.
These structural units, called aggrecan, are important
for the elasticity, resilience and shock-absorbing
properties of cartilage. Supplementary glucosamine can
be an important source of this vital component of
cartilage as we age, helping to reduce cartilage wear,
increase joint mobility and decrease joint stiffness.
Inflammation and pain are often symptoms of joint
degeneration. Glucosamine may help reduce joint
inflammation and swelling, and provide temporary relief
of the pain assocaited with this condition.
Chondroitin, like glucosamine, is a
natural component of cartilage. Chondroitin and
glucosamine appear to work together in the synthesis of
cartilage. Chondroitin is involved in the lubrication
and nutrition of the joint, and helps the joints to
resist compression. It may also help protect cartilage
from degeneration by inhibiting enzymes involved in
cartilage breakdown. Blackmores Joint Formula Advanced
contains a clinically proven, high potency dose of
chondroitin.
Manganese and boron
are minerals which appear to play important roles in
joint health. Manganese is essential for the production
of cartilage and bone. Boron plays a role in the
chemical make-up of bones and joints. Evidence suggests
that boron may help alleviate the symptoms of
osteoarthritis.
