Prime™ Joint Support Formula by Isotonix®

Glucosamine 
Glucosamine is a molecule that is naturally synthesised in the body from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Glucosamine is an important constituent of glycosaminoglycans in cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. As our bodies age, we are less able to produce glucosamine, resulting in cartilage that is less flexible and weak. Although the mechanism is currently unclear, studies have shown that glucosamine supplementation can support normal, healthy cartilage cell production to help maintain overall joint health.

Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol) 
Pycnogenol is a water-soluble flavonoid complex with powerful benefits. Pycnogenol, similar to the proanthocyanins found in grape seeds, is extracted from the bark of the French Maritime Pine tree. 

Pycnogenol has been shown help maintain the body’s natural defenses and supporting good health. In addition, studies have shown Pycnogenol has the ability to support the cross-linking of collagen fibers and other connective tissue.

Hyaluronic Acid 
Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in tissue hydration and lubrication. Although it is produced naturally by the body, the level of hyaluronic acid diminishes with age, contributing to joint discomfort. It is a key component of cartilage and is important for joint health. Hyaluronic acid has been shown to help maintain strong, healthy cartilage and enhance synovial fluid production.

Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E

Fish Body Oils 

Fish oils or marine oils, are lipids (fats) found in fish, particularly cold water fish like herring, kipper, mackerel, menhaden, pilchard, salmon, sardine and trout, and phytoplankton (the sources of fish oil in Heart Health Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E are sardines and anchovies, tested by the manufacturer and an independant testing company to be virtually free of mercury lead, PCB and other heavy metals). Fish oils are rich sources of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanenoic acid) are the two most studied fish oils. DHA is a necessary component of the phospholipids in human cellular membranes, especially those found in the brain and retina. omega-3 fatty acids can help to maintain healthy triglyceride levels. Fish oils are also important in the maintenance of normal blood flow, as they support normal fibrinogen levels (coagulation or blood clotting), which contributes to normal platelet activity. 

EPA and DHA help maintain normal triglyceride levels by promoting normal lipogenesis and supporting normal fatty acid oxidation in the liver. EPA and DHA promote the normal transcription of genes coding for lipogenesis enzymes and promote the normal transportation of the regulatory enzymes of fatty acid oxidation.

More specifically, EPA is a precursor to eicosanoids, which promote normal platelet activity and promote normal vasodilation (expanding of the blood vessels). These effects demonstrate EPA’s potential ability to help maintain normal blood pressure and support normal blood clotting. Fish oil may also contribute to the normal production of prostacyclin, a prostaglandin that promotes normal vasodilation and supports normal platelet activity. 

Vitamin E 
The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ. Safflower oil contains large amounts of vitamin E and there are trace amounts in corn oil and soybean oil. Vitamin E is actually a family of related compounds called tocopherols and tocotrienols. 

The main health benefit of supplemental vitamin E comes from its antioxidant activity. It supports a healthy cardiovascular system. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful fat-soluble antioxidants in the body. In turn, vitamin E protects cell membranes from free radicals. Vitamin E is commonly added to fish oil supplements to provide antioxidant protection of DHA and EPA.

Curcumin Extreme™

Curcumin (Curcugreen) 
Scientists have long been aware of the wide array of health benefits from the Indian spice turmeric, which is a source of the active phytochemical curcumin. Until now, curcumin has been known to have poor bioavailability, requiring high doses to promote health. Curcugreen delivers significantly more bioactive curcumin into the blood than to many other curcumin sources. 

Curcumin supports the normal production of liver detoxification enzymes including glutathione synthase as well as other detoxification enzymes such as heme-oxygenase and catalase. The liver plays several roles in detoxification: it filters the blood to remove toxins, synthesises bile acids and secretes bile containing cholesterol and other fat-soluble toxins, and enzymatically disassembles unwanted chemicals. Curcumin has also been shown to promote healthy hepatic tissue repair. 

Broccoli Seed Extract
The health benefits and protective properties of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables have been well documented over the past 25 years. Broccoli Seed Extractis a potent source of sulforaphane glucosinolates. Sulforaphanes support the normal production of liver detoxification enzymes including glutathione synthase. Sulforaphanes promote the body’s natural enzyme antioxidant defense systems and function as a powerful indirect antioxidant. Sulforaphanes work to support the body’s natural defense systems and maintain elevated levels of glutathione. Glutathione is the master antioxidant of the body. It is an important molecule that acts as a powerful antioxidant to protect the brain and other body tissues from free radicals. It also acts to recycle vitamin C and E which also neutralise free radicals.

Selenium
Selenium is a required cofactor for selenoproteins such as glutathione peroxidase.

Most bone and joint formulas contain chondroitin sulfate. Why doesn’t Isotonix Prime Joint Support Formulahave this ingredient?
Chondroitin acts in a similar way to glucosamine; however, many studies performed on chondroitin have had inconclusive results regarding its effectiveness.

Is the fish oil tested to be free of heavy metals? 
Yes. The fish oil used in Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E is tested twice, once from the manufacturer and then by an independent testing company. The fish oil used in Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E is laboratory tested for mercury, lead, PCB, and other heavy metals. 

What is Curcumin? 
Curcumin is present in the spice turmeric, frequently used in Indian food. Its chemical makeup is responsible for the yellow coloring of turmeric, and is often used specifically to give color to foods. However, it may serve a more important purpose to humans.
