Joint & Bone Essentials includes these cutting-edge nutrients that make it so effective for so many people. It includes 1,500 mg of Glucosamine to support healthy joint cartilage and healthy joint structures and helping to maintain normal joint space. Glucosamine also helps alleviate everyday joint aches. NEM natural eggshell membrane supports healthy joint structure. In one study, individuals following an exercise routine, and taking NEM had a decrease in post-exercise induced joint pain, compared to participants in the placebo group. Whitaker also includes FruiteX-B, a unique form of boron. Boron intake may help support calcium absorption and help increase vitamin D levels in deficient populations. Calcium and vitamin D help support bone health. And more recently, Dr. Whitaker added MBP Milk Peptide and vitamin D for added bone support to create a comprehensive joint and bone supplement. MBP has the ability to promote the body's natural mechanism for supporting optimal bone structure and inhibit excessive bone breakdown. Our bodies continuously break down and build bone. The key is to keep this process in balance. Vitamin D is needed for strong bones and balance. Whitaker includes a full 2,000 IU vitamin D because it plays a crucial role in maintaining bone structure and strength by aiding in the absorption of calcium and reducing the loss of calcium in the urine. Many joint products may only address the health of your joints but not address bone or cartilage health when all are necessary for comprehensive health. But Joint & Bone Essentials does it all! It helps support healthy joints and bone structure for comprehensive support.
