Life Plus Joint Formula is the most
unique and complete glucosamine formula on the market. It contains
two types of glucosamine (glucosamine sulfate and N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine),
chondroitin sulfate and crucial minerals to build and maintain healthy,
flexible cartilage so important to joint health. Synergistic amino
acids from hydrolyzed collagen, the predominant protein in cartilage
and all connective tissues, are provided to support healthy collagen
and cartilage synthesis. Joint Formula stands head and shoulders
above other glucosamine products!
Life Plus® Joint Formula is the most unique and complete glucosamine formula on the market.

Synergistic amino acids from hydrolyzed collagen, the predominant protein in cartilage and all connective tissues, are provided to support healthy collagen and cartilage synthesis.
| Life Plus Joint Formula is the most
unique and complete formula of all products containing glucosamine
on the market; a product that stands head and shoulders above
the other routine glucosamine-chondroitin products. Glucosamine
and chondroitin sulfate are both natural components of cartilage
and other connective tissues in the body. Since millions of
people want to retain and promote healthy joint function, flexibility,
and wide range of movement, supplements containing one or both
of these compounds have become quite popular. To fully enjoy
an active lifestyle, freedom of movement and flexibility are
necessary. Joint Formula contains two different forms of glucosamine
(for optimum bioavailability) and crucial minerals, such as
magnesium, manganese, copper, silicon, and zinc, which are
necessary to build and support healthy collagen and cartilage
synthesis. A large number of studies have been done with dietary
supplements including glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates.
Both nutrients are known to be used as “building blocks” in
the maintenance of healthy, normal joint cartilage. They are
thought to stimulate production of glycosaminoglycans, which
have been shown to support healthy joints and cartilage. |
Although sales of glucosamine-containing products
have reached $400 million annually in the United States alone, because
of reports that glucosamine assists in joint flexibility and mobility,
not all such products are alike. Nearly half (6 out of 13) of the
products containing either a combination of glucosamine-chondroitin
or those retaining chondroitin only failed testing by the largest
independent laboratory for dietary supplement testing in the U.S.
The tests revealed these products contained much lower levels of
chondroitin than was stated on the label; one-third of 25 major brands
tested containing one or both ingredients were found not to contain
the labeled amounts. It is important to obtain your supplements from
a reputable manufacturer like Life Plus.
Another natural compound with great promise in sustaining normal joint health is MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane, also called dimethyl sulfone), which is another Life Plus product that is highly synergistic with Joint formula. MSM is a metabolite of DMSO, the famous garlic-oyster smelling substance introduced into medicine by the pioneering work of Stanley Jacob M.D. DMSO is derived from plant lignans and has been the subject of more than 55,000 scientific studies worldwide. When DMSO enters the human body, about 15% of it is transformed into MSM by the addition of one oxygen molecule. MSM derived from DMSO has been found to remain in the body for up to 2 weeks. Unlike DMSO, MSM has no odor. Like DMSO, MSM
may be an antioxidant with a potent ability to neutralize hydroxyl free radicals within cells, and it does pass freely through cell membranes. Although very few controlled scientific studies have been done with MSM, word of mouth has made it a very popular dietary supplement. According to Dr. Stanley Jacob, MSM seemed to support range of motion in joints.
In addition, each tablet includes hydrolyzed collagen, which contains precisely the amino acids needed by the body to synthesize collagen. Collagen is the predominant protein in cartilage and all types of connective tissues.
Combined with the main ingredients in Joint Formula, it contains the exclusive Life Plus PhytoZyme™ Base composed of specific plant enzymes and concentrates from over 30 specially selected fruit, vegetable, and herbal concentrates to provide extra phytonutrients. All this combines to make the Life Plus Joint Formula a joint support product like no other on the market. Especially when combined with a healthy diet of whole foods, pure water, and an active lifestyle, Joint Formula helps support freedom of movement, regardless of age! †
