NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION Joint Support Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin and MSM. Glucosamine Sulfate promotes proper joint function and repair. Chondroitin is a natural substance found in cartilage, used to support joint repair. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) promotes joint repair by fortifying collagen and connective tissue. There is significant human and animal research showing that these ingredients support joint care. For Example: McAlindon TE, LaValley MP, Gulin JP, Felson DT. Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Treatment of Osteo-arthritis A Systematic Quality Assessment and Meta-analysis. J Amer Med Assn (JAMA) 2000; 283: 1459-75. Joint Support Supplement Facts Calcium Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D, and other nutrients aiding calcium absorption. Calcium’s major functions are building and maintaining bones and teeth, and supporting cardio-vascular function, but it has many other functions in the body. (See, e.g., Celotti F., Bignamini A. “Dietary Calcium…” J Int Med Res 1999 27(1). Magnesium promotes proper cell functions and helps maintain calcium metabolism. Vitamin D improves the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus and is required for bone and tooth formation. The diet of most Americans is significantly deficient in calcium according to the USDA’S Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals. Calcium Supplement Facts Recovery Formula This product consists of an enhanced dosage of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients known to be associated with the body’s healing response and with the building of bone, muscle, nerve, skin, connective tissues and vascular tissues. Recovery Formula Supplement Facts Multivitamins & Minerals A daily dose of the 14 vitamins, many major minerals, 66 trace minerals, and Lutein. A recent landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed all the published studies back to 1966 on the benefits of 9 of the vitamins. Based on this review and evidence showing that “most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone”, the authors recommend “that all adults take (a) multivitamin daily.” (J Amer Med Assn (JAMA) 2002; 287:3127-29(3116-29)). Lutein is an antioxidant that may aid in vision. (Brown L, Rimm EB, Seddon JM, et al. A prospective study of (Lutein) carotenoid intake and risk of cataract extraction in US men. Am J Clin Nutr 1999; 70: 517-24). Virtually every function of the body requires involvement of one or more minerals. There is scientific evidence that significant mineral deficiencies exist in the typical modern diet (e.g., USDA’S 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals). Thus, supplementation with a broad range of minerals is highly advisable. Multivitamins & Minerals Supplement Facts Energy Plus™ This wonderful product is a daily life-enhancer.
