Friendly Flora Prevents Tissue Destruction

An interesting study shows that friendly flora (lactic acid bacteria or acidophilus) helps prevent the destruction of important structural components of the digestive tract (chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid). For many years I have observed that individuals who eat too much sugar or who have an imbalanced digestive tract have an increase in joint pains and aches. I have seen this issue cause serious problems, including arthritis in children.

Chondroitin Sulfate Lowers Core Inflammatory Signal

Chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are popular joint support nutrients with over a decade of documentation showing their assistance for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. These nutrients have generally been considered as building blocks for physical structure, like 2 x 4s and plywood for a house. However, a number of new studies now show that chondroitin sulfate actually regulates the core inflammatory gene signal known as NF-kappaB. This finding significantly expands on the importance of chondroitin sulfate as a health promoting nutrient.

Curcumin: Linking Leptin, Obesity, Joint Problems, and Inflammation

Curcumin is the yellow pigment derived from the spice tumeric. Fine quality dietary supplements standardize curcumin for the amount of curcuminoids, the primary biologically active ingredient. It is widely researched as an anti-inflammatory nutrient with cancer-risk reduction properties. A number of new studies demonstrate how curcumin can reduce the inflammation associated with obesity and in so doing simultaneously improve joint health.

Grape Seed Extract May Help Arthritis

Autoimmune and rheumatoid arthritis are characterized by the immune system in a funk and now attacking joints. Standard medical treatment poisons the immune cells so they don’t work, including their inappropriate attack on the joints. A new animal study demonstrates that grape seed extract can help solve the source of the problem.

Calcium Fructoborate: A Novel Nutrient for Bones & Joints

Calcium fructoborate (FruiteX-B) is a unique nature-identical form of the mineral boron, a nutrient woefully lacking in American soil and consequently the American food supply. Scientists have known for several decades that the depletion of boron in soil as a result of chemical fertilizers has increased the rate of arthritis around the world – and supplemental boron helps. Research over the past decade has demonstrated that calcium fructoborate has excellent absorption, sustained bioavailability, reduced inflammation in joints, enhanced status of calcium, hormones, and vitamin D, and improved bone and joint health.
