Joint Support - Glucosamine with Herbs
A Dietary Supplement for Joints and Muscles
Many of us take mobility for granted. However, millions of people find the simple act
of lifting an arm, bending a knee or even wiggling a toe may cause agonizing pain.
The aches and discomfort may be caused by arthritis, an injury or excessive wear
and tear, but they can also occur because we are living longer than our ancestors.
With average life expectancy on the rise, as many as three-fourths of the population
over 50 will be affected by symptoms of osteoarthritis, a condition that may be
accompanied by a breakdown in the cartilage found between bone joints. Without
this protective padding, bones rub together, causing pain, tenderness, swelling,
stiffness, and sometimes, deformity. According to the Arthritis Foundation, people
of all ages are affected by arthritis - with about 120 related disorders - and it is the
No.1 cause of limitation of movement in the United States.
Herbalife has formulated an herbal-based product, Joint Support - Glucosamine
with Herbs, which can help provide support to aching joints. Taken twice daily,
you can experience the benefits of six of the most widely used herbs, enzymes
and nutritional factors, all known to benefit aching joints and muscles.

Did You Know?
The connective tissue and cartilage in your body includes a natural compound
called glucosamine. The cartilage important for cushioning the joints can lose
its ability to support healthy cellular growth as we age. The body's production
of glucosamine - an amino sugar - decreases with age. Joint Support - Glucosamine Supplement
helps support joints subject to wear and tear.
Boswellia has a long history of being used to promote bone and joint health. The
large, balsamic boswellia tree is grown primarily in India and nearby regions, where
preparations of this herb are used by physicians to treat everything from dysentery
to ringworm. Collection of the tree's dried oleoresin secretions occurs much like
the process of extracting maple from trees for maple syrup. Boswellia is also recommended
for helping lower back pain and aching muscles.
