Arthritis is the leading cause of
disability in the United States, and is second only to heart disease in
work disability. Recent statistics show that 50 million Americans have
some form of arthritis. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the
two best known and most common types.
Osteoarthritis, also known
as "degenerative joint disease", is caused by the wear and tear of the
joints. Neck, hips, knees and lower back are the parts of the body most
likely to be affected by osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, which means that the
body??s immune system attacks itself. It affects joints, bones, and
organs. It attacks type II collagen in human cartilage, causing painful
and often disabling joint inflammation. One may feel tired, sick, or
feverish.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the degeneration of
joints come from the degeneration of Kidney & Liver function. Bio
Essence Corporation has put together a new formula combining
nutritional ingredients (some of which are extracted through new
advanced technology) and herbal extracts called
. It is designed to protect the
joints; restore damaged joints to normal function; help relieve pain
and swelling caused by inflammation and arthritis; promote local
circulation to relive pain and stiffness in the joints of neck, back,
knees, shoulders and arms. It also support the articular cartilage
tendons, ligaments and skin.
Testimony:
I have had right knee pain and soreness for over 9 months due to an inflamed medial meniscus ligament.
I
tried a lot of herbal teas. None helped much. Finally I ordered your
“Powerful Joints” formula a few months ago. I took 3 tablets, 3 times a
day over 2 weeks.
I was shocked and surprised. Most of my knee pain is gone now. I am very satisfied and very impressed by your formula.

Ingredients introduction:
HYDROLYSED TYPE II COLLAGEN (from BioCell Collagen II™): This is the
protein that keeps our joints healthy and functional. Cartilage is one
of the body’s main connective tissues providing flexibility and support
to bone joints. In cartilage, type II collagen is the principal
structural protein responsible for its tensile strength and toughness.
But, at times the body's immune system mistakes type II collagen in
human joints as an outside invader and sends antibodies to attack and
destroy the collagen; this results in inflammation and affect adversely
the mobility and flexibility of the joints.
This ingredient is extracted from 100% pure chicken sternum which is
the richest source of type II collagen and is hydrolyzed for maximum
absorption. Independent analysis shows that BioCell Collagen II™
contains Type II Collagen (60-65%), Chondroitin Sulfate (20% min.),
Hyaluronic Acid (10% min.) and Glucosamine. It is the ONLY hydrolyzed
chicken type II collagen product to offer this unique combination. A
recent clinical study showed that 89.9% of the people received some
level of pain relief within forty-five days of taking BioCell Collagen
II™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,025,327).
CHONDROITIN SULFATE (from Type II Collagen & Shark Cartilage):
Chondroitin is one of the building blocks of cartilage. It makes the
cartilage 'spongy' by drawing fluid into the the cartilage. This is
significant because cartilage has no blood supply. Additionally, it
inhibits some enzymes which degenerate the cartilage, interferes with
other enzymes which impede the transport of nutrients to cartilage,
stimulates the production of cartilage matrix molecules, and enhances
synergistically the action of the glucosamines.
HYALURONIC ACID(HA): It comes from Type II Collagen, HA is a major
component of the extracellular matrix, the space between living cells,
and is present in the skin tissue. HA is a major constituent of
synovial joint fluid and hyaline cartilage tissue. It also allows the
retaining of skin moisture and functions as lubricant between the
collagen matrix and the skin.
GLUCOSAMINE: This is a building block of new cartilage. Our body cannot
repair cartilage without glucosamine. Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl)
is used instead of Glucosamine Sulfate because it is more stable,
better absorbed.
SHARK CARTILAGE: It is known to be a good natural source of collagen,
glucoseamine and chondroitin sulfate. No heat, chemicals or bleaching
agent have been used during the cleaning process. It also has
anti-angeosis function to decrease the inflammation in arthritis.
D-L PHENYLALANINE (DLPA):
DLPA is an essential amino acid called ¡§phenylalanine¡¨. Phenylalanine
is the precursor of tyrosine, and hence of dopamine, norepinephrine,
and epinephrine. Phenylalanine enhances pain relief by slowing down the
breakdown of these body-produced pain relievers, giving them a much
longer time to act.
VITAMIN C: It boosts the immune system; helps cement and stabilize the
artery walls; stimulates the production of the connective tissue. Its
deficiency leads to tissue weakness. An optimal supply of vitamin C
insures the production of collagen and elastic fiber molecules.
ORIENTAL HERBAL EXTRACTS: Pseudoginseng Root, Dang Gui, Curcuma
Rhizoma, Psoralea Seed, Cordyceps, Boswellia Resin, Gentiana Root,
Fo-Ti, Licorice. Traditionally, some of these herbs are used to help
relieve pain, some are used to enhance the Kidney and Liver function.
It can promote circulation in a person who has limited joint mobility;
swelling and deformity of joints; numbness and coldness of the limbs;
pain and stiffness in the neck, back, shoulders and arms; migratory
pain, etc.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT: In Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis, the new
collagen often contains too many cross-links, producing thick, stiff,
dysfunctional cartilage that is prone to injury. Oligomeric
Proanthocyanidin Complex (OPC) from grape seeds help reduce excess
cross-linkage by neutralizing free radicals, protecting collagen from
excess collagenase, and helping vitamin C support synthesis of healthy
new collagen.
COPPER: It is essential for the formation of collagen and it helps to
control inflammatory arthritis/bursitis symptoms. It works in balance
with zinc and vitamin C to form elastin; it also aids in bone
mineralization. It is also important for the proper absorption of zinc.
