Rational people know that there is no magic bullet when it comes to joint and arthritic pain. There is no known "cure" for arthritis. Drugs that are conventionally prescribed lo arthritis patients normally cause side effects and treat only the symptoms, not the cause of joint degeneration. This may be why so many have turned to specific exercises and nutritional foods and supplements for long term relief of their arthritis symptoms. Although such natural methods cannot produce immediate results, they constitute the only road to a biological rebuilding of the body. There exists a wealth of information on suitable diets for arthritis sufferers. In addition to a proper diet, the world of Natural Health Products offers natural ways to to help relieve joint pain. But which are the most effective and have the most research backing? How much of each is required and in what combinations.

crucial improvement in both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
cases.

two-pronged approach to joint care: a glucosamine-based, joint
repairing & rebuilding formula; and an essential fatty acid,
joint lubricating formula. Hence, JOINT REPAIR & JOINT LUBE
combine to bring you the JOINT FORCES kit - the complete
approach for healthy joints.

JOINT LUBE FORMULA
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
EFA deficiency is common today because of modern dietary and lifestyle choices and environmental factors, and can lead to a variety of health conditions. Over the last 15 years, several clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of GLA on symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Such studies have used generally 1 - 3 months of supplementation of 500 -1000mg daily. A study conducted in April 2000
found that the duration of morning stillness could be reduced
by up to 70 percent! By stimulating digestion, EFAs help prevent
the absorption of toxins and food allergens into the body, an
important underlying cause of arthritis.
Appropriate intakes of both omega 6 and omega 3 essential oils to regulate prostaglandin metabolism to produce beneficial effects in the treatment of various health problems including conditions associated with joint inflammation. Those with joint pain can attest that taking EFA supplements is a crucial element in improvement of their symptoms.
Omega 6 ingredients include:
Evening Primrose Oil, 10% GLA
· 168.7 mg;
Borage Oil. 24°' GLA · 166.7 mg:
Black Currant Seed Oil, 16% GLA

which can decrease joint inflammation and destruction and lubricate
joints. Placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated that supplementation
with GLA may reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in both
children and adults. Reductions in the duration of morning stiffness
(by up to 70%), joint swelling, tenderness and pain have been
noted. Supplementation with GLA reduced the use of non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) in many cases. Many rheumatoid
arthritis sufferers are deficient in GLA and respond favorably

GLA supplementation.
