Knees. Safe ways to lubricate those joints.

  I love stories. Especially ones that can give other people hope. This year Shaklee released the Advanced Joint Health Complex and said that you could tell the difference in 5 days. Well, it has clearly been a hit. This blog is about SAFE ways to live and I know from personal experience in our home that it ain't fun with knee problems. 
5 days!!!  1-2-3-4-5~~  Another way to spell relief. Read on....

(thanks to Bob Ferguson) 

With Advanced Joint Health Complex I ceased to feel the slightest aches and pains in any of my joints or back. It was striking. It feels like my entire body has been oiled, and I have complete freedom of movement. Its evident when I'm cycling or playing tennis. Its a joyful feeling to have my body feel like it did decades ago.

The continuing story is that I left for a trip to San Francisco, forgot my Joint Health Complex, and I could sure feel the difference by the end of the week. I'm back on the products and the well-oiled feeling is quickly returning!
Best wishes,
Bob


Chris' Story
Bob's friend Chris replied to his story on Facebook:"I agree Bob. After a month on the new formula I can tell a big difference. Last year in Anaheim I broke my ankle in three places. What a major ouch that was! Now a year later I can walk a couple of miles or do 15 minutes on the eliptical at the gym and over a mile on the treadmill without pain. I've even been able to cut back on Pain Relief Complex. Oh am I'm just a year behind you in age. Yeah 60's!!

Susan's Story 
We have some pretty steep hills in the Tucson mountain area where I live.  The hill next to our home is very steep.  My knees started complaining after climbing it on my road bike--not sharp pain but some discomfort.  That was a wake up call to me to start taking care of them before things got worse.  I got a bottle of the original Joint Health Complex.  In a few days, the discomfort was gone and my knees felt like they had been oiled from the inside.  They used to snap sometimes when I walked, like cracking knuckles.  A doctor told me once that it was a lack of synovial fluid.  My dad had the same problem, so it was probably genetic.  The original Joint Health Complex also got rid of my snap, crackle and pop after a few days! 


Our old dogs--a black lab mix and a Vizsla mix-- were having problems getting up and down off the patio, so they got my Joint Health Complex.  I opened one capsule on their dog food once a day.  Before I knew it they were moving like young dogs again.
I just got a bottle of the New Advanced Joint Health Complex today.  I can't wait to see what it does too!

 Joan's Story from Massachusetts
Bob, I too have had incredible results with the new Joint Health Complex. I had hurt myself in the garden just before I left to go to DC. On the Tuesday before the conference, we took a tour of Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon. There was an incredible amount of walking involved. By the time we managed to walk back to the service center, my knee was hurting so bad the limping was very noticeable. As a matter of fact, Kathy told me that If I didn't improve she was going to put me in a wheelchair when we arrived at the airport to go home. I iced it every night, put joint pain cream on it, took pain relief complex 
and did it again every morning. I was able to function for the rest of the week but it was still very painful. It just wasn't as noticeable to everyone else.
When I arrived home, I went to the chiropractor and he basically said that if what he did to it didn't help to go see a bone doctor. Well he didn't help it either, however, our new Joint Health Complex came in that week so I started taking that as well. By the end of the first week I was using less and less of the joint pain cream and I was taking fewer pain pills. By the 2nd week, I wasn't taking any joint pain cream or pain relief complex and I was finally completely pain free. It took a little longer than the 5 days - more like 2 weeks but it was terrific. 
I love it. Since I am 73 you can bet I will continue to take it every single day. I have to keep my legs in decent condition so I can continue to mow the grass, dig my garden, get on my hands and knees to weed it as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joan


New Advanced Joint Health Complex Supplements*

Joint Comfort in as Few as 5 Days†*
The challenge of life is is getting around comfortably; especially for those who love the active lifestyle. Over 28 million Americans have some form of joint-related issue. For every pound you gain you add four additional pounds of pressure on your knees and six additional pounds of pressure on your hips. These additional pounds can put extra strain on your joints. Without healthy joints, common activities such as bending, sitting, and walking would all be challenging.
That’s because joints serve as links between bones that provide stability and control body movement. Cartilage is an essential component of joints that provides cushioning between bones and helps absorb shock from physical impact. As we age, this protective cushioning breaks down naturally. Additional factors such as continued physical stress and overexertion can further accelerate the breakdown of cartilage by triggering the release of chemicals that attack cartilage. The result? Joint discomfort and limited mobility.
You hear about the amazing combination of glucosamine and chondroitin all the time. However, a recent clinical study showed that chondroitin sulfate interferes with glucosamine absorption. As a result it is best not to have any chondroitin in a joint supplement. Most joint supplements out there jump on the bandwagon, but it is important to get all the facts first, make sure you know what you are taking. You want the supplement to get where it needs to be, to absorb and work in your body.

What is the difference between a healthy joint and a stressed one?

Effects of continued stress, overexertion, and normal wear and tear on joints:
1 Cartilage becomes weak and fragile.
2 Surrounding connective tissue breaks down.
3 Friction occurs between bones, which signals the release of cartilage-attacking chemicals, resulting in discomfort and limited mobility.



New Advanced Joint Health Complex* supports healthy joints in three ways:
1 Improves cushioning: Glucosamine helps maintain cartilage— the protective cushioning between joints that allows them to move more freely.*
2 Maintains healthy connective tissue: Zinc, copper, manganese, and vitamin C help build collagen and other important components of connective tissue that give strength and structure to joints.*
3 Increases joint comfort: Boswellia extract inhibits the formation of cartilage-attacking chemicals and works fast to improve joint comfort.*
