Osteoarthritis: Understanding and Relieving It

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joint cartilage. It manifests as pain, loss of flexibility, and reduced mobility.

Identify affected areas

The most affected areas are the finger joints, as well as the areas that bear the most weight in the body, such as the lower back or knees.

Disease factors

Cold and physical inactivity are aggravating factors for symptoms. Conversely, movement activates the production of synovial fluid, which promotes joint lubrication, and also enables the production of endorphins, hormones that naturally combat pain.

The main causes of osteoarthritis are:

• Acid-base imbalance
• Oxidative stress
• Overweight
• Pro-inflammatory diet
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Intensive practice of sports or professional physical activity
• Age

Consequences

Inflammation is the common consequence of all these points; however, inflammation hinders the natural repair of joints by promoting the development of cartilage-destroying enzymes.

How to relieve and slow down osteoarthritis?

Reducing inflammation is therefore a necessity to combat osteoarthritis. This is why we have combined glucosamine and blackcurrant leaf dry extract in our new ARTICULATION complex.

Our body produces glucosamine, but bodily dysfunctions can make external intake necessary. The additional intake of glucosamine will enable the production of polysaccharides and chondroitin necessary for cartilage reconstruction, and increase hyaluronic acid needed for joint lubrication. It will also reduce pain thanks to its analgesic action.

To complete our formula, we have added chondroitin, an essential component of cartilage structure, capable of retaining water and certain nutrients necessary for tissue regeneration.

• Inhibit cartilage-destroying enzymes
• Promote lubrication, elasticity, and resistance of joints
• Improve mobility and flexibility as it is also present in tendons and ligaments.

More effective chondroitin

We have chosen glucosamine and chondroitin (Chondro’Sea©) derived from cartilaginous fish, which offer better bioavailability because their molecular weight is lower than that of crustacean or bovine sources, making their assimilation faster and more significant. The graph below shows that Chondro'Sea is assimilated by the body in just 30 minutes, whereas other marine chondroitin takes 2-3 hours and other chondroitin takes 5 hours.

An In & Out Solution

Combining a course of our Articulation complex with the application of our Muscl'Art care oil to painful areas will help to reduce inflammation and osteoarthritis pain more quickly.

	Articulation This complex combines a high dosage of Glucosamine (980 mg / daily dose), 100% marine-derived Chondroitin with rapid absorption (30 min) that contributes to cartilage regeneration, and organic Blackcurrant extract.
	Muscl'Art Muscl'Art care oil is a 100% natural massage oil, composed of 5 active organic essential oils (Wintergreen, Rosemary camphor, Coriander, Nutmeg, and Ylang Ylang), renowned for toning and stimulating muscles and joints.
