Over 70 million Americans1--1
in 3--have Arthritis (2003). The number has doubled since
1997.
Chances are you or someone you
know has arthritis.2 It causes pain, stiffness and
sometimes swelling in or around joints. This can make it hard to
complete simple movements you rely on every day for work or
taking care of your family. But you can take steps now to avoid
arthritis or to reduce pain and resume normal daily activities.
There are more than 100
different types of arthritis and the cause of most types is
unknown.3 Scientists are currently studying what
roles three major factors play in certain types of arthritis.
These include the genetic factors you inherit from your parents,
events which occur during your life and how you live on a
day-to-day basis. The importance of these factors varies by type of arthritis.
Even though there is a lot of
mystery surrounding arthritic joint pain, there is also a
tremendous amount of research that points to certain nutrients
that help nutritionally support this condition.
Both short and long term studies
have been performed with a nutrient called Glucosamine Sulfate.
Glucosamine works to stimulate joint function and repair.
It is most effective in treating osteoarthritis, the most
prevalent form of arthritis. A number of studies over the
last 20 years have shown this to be true. For example, a
1982 clinical study compared usage of the NSAID ibuprofen with
glucosamine sulfate, for osteoarthritis of the knee. The
overrrall results showed that 44% of the glucosamine group
had pain relief compared to 15% for ibuprofen.4
A long-term effects study was
done with glucosamine and arthritis reported in the Lancet.5
The authors concluded that, "Glucosamine sulfate prevents
the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee, in addition to
relieving the symptoms."
Studies have also been done on
discs with Chelated magnesium and new research has shown
promising benefits with essential fatty acids.6
The Greatest Vitamin in the
World not only contains all of these nutrients, it
utilizes the exact forms that were shown in the studies to be
effective. The forms which are the best to look for are:
Glucosamine Sulfate 2Kcl which
is the exact form used in most of the studies showing benefit.
Amino Acid Chelated magnesium
which was used in the Albion study on disc repair.7
We also utilize fatty acids like
CLA and a proprietary form of lecithin to benefit joint health.8
It is hard to enjoy your family,
friends, hobbies or even money without your health, and joint
pain is definitely one of the big contributing factors to a poor
quality of life. The Greatest Vitamin in the World
formula brings these great joint nutrients to nutritionally
support the body along with 100% of your daily needs of the
essential nutrients all in one formula.

Arthritics and SOD (enzyme that fights oxidative stress) levels.9
