In healthful joints there is a protective layer of cartilage that serves as a cushion between the adjoining bones, allowing the joint to move freely and without pain. In chronic degenerative joint conditions the cartilage starts to break down, inflammation and swelling of the joint and the tissues surrounding the affected joints may occur as well, particularly in injuries. The loss of cartilage and the inflammation give rise to joint stiffness, pain and reduced mobility.
Inflammation can be viewed as a series of chemical reactions where the body produces enzymes Cox 1 and Cox 2 which are then involved in the activation of other chemicals cytokines, leukotrienes and arachidonic acid. These completely naturally occurring chemicals produce an inflammatory response in the tissues that results in redness, heat, swelling and pain.
The green lipped mussel lipoid concentrate manages this response by inhibiting these inflammatory chemicals in the body. In addition it is made with natural, healthful anti oxidants carotenoids which contribute to the anti inflammatory effect. Glucosamine is needed for healthful joint cartilage while it is a component of cartilage and also stimulates repair. As we age, our merchandiseion of glucosamine declines which may increase our need for this nutrient.
