Why Should I Feed Joint Aid
We understand the need for supplying specialist nutracines to help maintain the structure and physiology of the joints and associated bone, cartilage and tendon. Joint degradation can occur due to one of two main reasons; wear and tear can occur simply as a function of age, or it can be caused by mechanical damage due to enhanced activity.
Both vascular development and cell membrane lipids benefit from Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Although Omega-6 is sometimes regarded as being pro-inflammatory (it is actually anti-inflammatory), it is also a critical component in improving vascular flow. Omega-3 fatty acids are important in maintaining the neutral and phospho-lipids in the cell membrane.
NatuNutraceuticals are products derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value.
High levels of 5 particular dietary amino acids, essential for the production of muscle tissue.
Collagen possesses great tensile strength and provides the framework that gives tissues their firmness and resilience. It is essential for connecting and supporting the bones, tendons, muscles and cartilage.
Curcumin is the active ingredient of the spice, turmeric. It is a natural and powerful antioxidant and supports the normal anti-inflammatory action of the body in conjunction with vitamins: C and E and selenium.
Glucosamine gives cartilage its structure and shock absorbing qualities. It is involved in the formation of cartilage, tendons, skin, bone and ligaments.
Glutamic Acid is a natural flavour enhancer and an important nutritional support for natural gut health during times of stress.
Hemp Oil Derived Omega 3 Fatty Acids is Crucial for maintaining the natural anti-inflammatory action of the body.
Hyaluronic acid is involved in the structural formation of cartilage and helps to cushion and lubricate the joints.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a source of sulphur, which helps to form cross links with other molecules that maintain the strength and integrity of connective tissues. It is also essential for the manufacture of collagen.
Piperine Black Pepper Extract Supports the retention in the metabolism of some active nutraceuticals e.g. curcumin.
Trace Minerals Provides selenium, manganese and magnesium to help maintain low levels of muscle reaction to work.
Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen in the body that forms the matrix of connective tissues in mammals. It directly affects the level of tissue growth and development and the maintenance of the body's immune system.
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant and essential for the health of reproductive, muscular, circulatory and nervous systems and immune functions in the metabolism.
Oatinol is a natural high quality oil based concept developed by and unique to GWF Nutrition.
- Maintain gut cell integrity.
- Maintain the lining of the gut.
- Support the immune system.
- Aid the absorption of active ingredients, vitamins and trace elements.
Galactolipids are a combination of sugar and fat molecules that create the perfect medium for the absorption of active ingredients across the gut wall.
Tocotrienol antioxidants are a natural form of vitamin E. They are 40-60 times more readily available than other forms of vitamin E and help to maintain the integrity of the cells forming the lining of the gut to aid absorption.
Beta Glucans have prebiotic properties that support beneficial bacteria in the gut to promote healthy absorption.
Phospholipids have emulsifying properties and have been shown to actively influence nutrient digestibility and absorption.
