Cartilade Shark Cartilage Shark cartilage has long been valued by traditional herbalists in China, where it has been consumed for centuries as shark fin soup. Shark cartilage contains mucopolysaccharides, a family of complex carbohydrates including the now well-known chondroitin sulfate. Shark cartilage is an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus. Shark cartilage is a type of tissue found in the skeleton. The skeletons of sharks are almost entirely cartilaginous and, as far as we know, the cancer rate in sharks for certain types of tumors appears to be low. Shark and bovine cartilage, and possibly other types, contain angiogenic inhibitors - compounds that halt the creation of blood vessels. This combination of facts means that shark and other types of cartilage are of considerable interest to medical researchers. Shark cartilage contains a mixture of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), of which Chondroitin and Glucosamine are found. Shark Cartilage is a popular nutritional supplement and improve cartilage function.

THYROX T-3 is an all natural, pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement from Absolute Nutrition. It is specially formulated to burn fat fast. The active ingredients in THYROX T-3 increase the rate of conversion of T-4, the low activity hormone, to T-3, the high activity hormone. This causes an increase in basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which are the number of calories one burns at rest. This is accomplished without the use of stimulants but with drug-like potency. The main ingredient, Gum Guggul Extract, delivers a powerful 300 mg of guggulsterones per dosage. Studies have shown guggulsterones to have thyroid stimulating activity, whereby there is an increase in the conversion of T-4 to T-3. Subjects showed not only a decrease in body fat, but lower cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels as well. THYROX T-3 also contains phosphates, which are found in high-energy compounds such as ATP and phosphocreatine. Thyroid activity is directly related to the amount of energy one possesses, thus it is important to ingest ample amounts of phosphates daily. Studies have shown that phosphates can prevent a decrease in T-3 and increase the BMR. Furthermore, phosphates have a positive effect on creatine storage, buffering lactic acid and increasing ATP. L-Tyrosine, an amino acid found in THYROX T-3, is used by the thyroid gland for the production of Thyroxine, a vital hormone involved in regulating growth, metabolism, skin health and mental state. In fact, low levels of L-Tyrosine have been associated with hypothyroidism and will trigger a deficiency of the hormone norephinephrine at a specific brain location, which will result in depression and mood disorders Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 2 Thyroid T-3 tablets daily, in between meals. Take 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoonwith an 8 ounce glass of water. Thyroid T-3 Ingredients: Nutritional Facts Serving Size: 2 Capsule Servings per Container: 90 Amount Per Serving % Daily Value* Calcium Phosphate 250mg 25% Gum Guggul Extract (Guggelsterone 10%) 300mg ** L-Tyrosine 300mg ** Garcinia Cambogia 250mg ** Dipotassium Phosphate 150mg ** Sodium Phosphate 75mg ** Disodium Phosphate 75mg ** Phosphatidyl Choline 25mg ** * Based on a 2,000 calorie diet ** Daily Values not established Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Gelatin.

Joint Ease Glucosamine with UCII is designed to maintain healthy function of the skeletal system, help relieve bone and joint aches and pains. This product can also help restore joint mobility and lubrication. Recent studies show that a combination of patented undenatured type II collagen; (from chicken cartilage using a patented low-temperature manufacturing technique), with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate works with the immune system to promote healthy joints, and helps improve mobility and flexibility. Bone tissue is constantly being broken down and reformed again. This cycle is necessary for growth, repair of minor damage, and the maintenance of a properly functioning body. Reabsorption of the bones is done by cells known as osteoclasts, which embeds itself into the bone, releasing small amounts of calcium into the bloodstream. The release of calcium is vital for other body functions. Cells called osteoblasts then rebuild the bones by filling in the holes with collagen and laying down crystals of calcium and phosphorus. Joint Ease is dedicated to helping people achieve optimum health and a high quality of life. The human body is subjected to numerous stress caused by psychological or environmental factors on a daily basis. The stress leads to many sub-clinical conditions, such as fatigue, dry skin, low energy, weakened immune function, loss of concentration, etc. Scientificly formulated Joint Ease with UCII contains pure glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and patented UC II (Undenatured type II collagen). UC II is the primary structural protein of cartilage that provides flexibility and support to bone joints. Recent studies have shown that UC.II works with the immune system to promote healthy joints and improve mobility and flexibility. Glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate are well established nutrients in supporting joints' health and free move. Supplement Facts Serving Size: 2 capsules Serving per container:30 Undenatured Type II Collagen...........20mg Glucosamine Sulfate....................600mg Chondroitin Sulfate....................400mg Other Ingredients: Gelatin and Purified Water Directions: Take 2 Joint Ease capsules each time and twice daily before meals.

Releve - Nutraceuticals Relieve Joint Support Formula What is Releve? The Releve comprehensive joint formula is designed to attack joint stress in a more complete and scientific fashion, and addresses a number of fundamental causes of joint pain, connective tissue degeneration, and muscle soreness, including the underlying causes. Releve contains glucosamine to help restore joint health, but Releve's main mechanism of action in reducing pain and inflammation in joints is its patented COX-2 inhibiting ingredient IsoOxygene . In the last 10 years, the COX-2 paradigm has emerged as one of the most important biochemical systems of the 21 century. The COX-2 enzyme has become a primary model for understanding and treating numerous different diseases. This enzyme is one of the key building blocks that has helped to shed light on our understanding of such diverse pathologies as cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and most notably arthritis. Releve Features Relieve joint and muscle pain Help repair joints Help repair connective tissue Strengthen bones Inhibit COX-2 Benefits of Releve: Releve employs a number of other benefits to help support joint health and bone health. Releve also contains substances that regulate the expression of enzymes in the cells that make bone. These are called osteoblasts, and they create or give rise to the musculoskeletal and connective tissue structures. As they mature, they are associated with the production of teeth and bone. Osteoclasts on the other hand, are responsible for the breakdown of bone, and effect the absorption and removal of bone. In other words, osteoclasts produce joint and bone degeneration. Under stress, various substances are produced in the body that result in swelling, soreness, and destruction of the cartilage in the joints. These substances are called mediators, but technically are known as cytokines and prostaglandin E-2 (PGE2). By inhibiting these mediators, RELEVE can help prevent bone destruction and resorption, or loss of bone and degeneration of connective tissue. Information about products containing ISO Oxygene: Releve employs a number of COX-2 inhibitor botanicals. Most importantly, the Releve joint formula contains IsoOxygene, a proprietary, patent pending botanical COX-2 inhibitor that is the gold standard for natural COX-2 inhibitors. IsoOxygene is 20 times more potent and significantly more selective for the COX-2 enzyme than any other botanical currently tested. This means greater results for pain relief, and quicker onset of action. And, the duration of action for relief has been extended to last for hours as a result of the unique micro encapsulation and enhancement of this ingredient into a sustained-release, also allowing better absorption. By inhibiting COX-2, a whole series of diseases can be stopped in their tracks. Most importantly, the pain and inflammation of arthritis, or traumatic injury, can be arrested by therapeutic COX-2 inhibitors. And for athletes and body builders, who put a tremendous amount of stress and strain on their joints and cartilage, COX-2 inhibitors should be part of their daily routine. During and after every workout, damaging COX-2 is being created or induced. Daily use of COX-2 inhibitors can arrest this process, and provide for long lasting joint and overall body health in general. Releve's powerful COX-2 inhibiting effect makes it ideal joint formulas for athletes.
