Food-Derived And Safe – Not A Drug

Curcuminoids give natural non-drug pain relief (Cox-2 inhibitors)

Press reports in the 1990s and 2000s highlighted the concerns over drug-based Cox-2 inhibitors. And there is great worry today over the number of people becoming addicted to opioid medications they started for pain relief.

Uni-Vite JointShield contains curcuminoids which are natural food-derived Cox-2 inhibitors, helping relieve pain. The addition of lecithin and piperine (black pepper extract) improves the bioavailability of curcumin.

Boswellia is an additional natural anti-inflammatory

JointShield also contains a standardised extract of Boswellia serrata, containing 20% AKBA. A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study (the "gold standard" in health research) found that people suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee reported decreased pain, reduced swelling, improvements in flexibility and increased walking distance.

Of the four types of boswellic acid, Acetyl-11-Keto-beta Boswellic Acid (AKBA) is considered the most effective for joint relief. Indeed, many researchers consider it comparable in effect to NSAID pain relievers (the main chemical medications).

Glucosamine - the vital component of cartilage

Glucosamine, as long as it is combined with vitamins D and K, provides the nutrients and basic raw material ‘building blocks’ necessary for the body's joint tissues to renew themselves.
