The synergistic combination of glucosamine sulfate and essential fatty acids (EFAs) found in the EFA Joint Formula provide optimal support for stiff and aching joints. This advanced complex is infused with Flax Seed Oil and Borage Oil, two rich sources of inflammation fighting Omega-3 fatty acids that help ease painful and sore joints. Glucosamine is included to provide the basic building blocks needed to maintain proteins like proteoglycans, which attract water to the joint space to help lubricate cartilage during movement while supporting chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to manufacture new cartilage. This process promotes joint strength and durability and to defends against joint degradation. Together these nutrients work together to nourish and support your joints for comfortable, easy movement.
Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine sulfate is critical to smooth, flexible joint movement. The main influence of glucosamine on joints is stimulation of the manufacture of molecules known as glycosaminoglycans, which are key structural components of cartilage. If sufficient levels of glucosamine are not available in the body, the cartilage loses its ability to act as the joint’s shock absorber - and damage can occur.
Borage seed oil
Borage oil is the richest source of GLA and contains 20-30% GLA to promote the formation of anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulating precursors, for optimized immune and cardiovascular health.
Flax Seed Oil
Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), the main structural components of cell membranes in the body. EFAs are necessary for metabolic actions and good health. EFAs cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. Omega 3 fatty acids are precursors to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.
Boswellic Acid
Used in traditional Indian medicine, the boswellic acids found in this tree sap support the body against pro-inflammatory enzymes that can produce joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, and swelling.
