As people age, systemic inflammation can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body.1-5 A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines, imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins also contribute to inflammatory processes.
Life Extension's Fast-Acting Joint Formula includes novel joint health nutrients and can be used as a standalone joint health formula or as a complement to other Life Extension joint health formulas such as ArthroMax™ with FruiteX B®.
Designed to help maintain the healthy function of the articular cartilage, the sturdy yet elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints to facilitate smooth movement, Fast-Acting Joint Formula contains patented forms of hyaluronic acid and keratin, and a novel plant extract Angelica gigas Nakai.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan (similar in many ways to glucosamine and chondroitin) that is widely distributed throughout many connective tissues (cartilage, bones, muscles tendons, ligaments, and skin). It is one of the chief components of the extracellular matrix (such as synovial fluid in joints) and contributes significantly to connective tissue integrity. HA serves as one of the primary lubrication components for healthy joint cartilage, where it can help maintain normal joint function by increasing the viscosity of the synovial fluid and by making the cartilage between bones more elastic and smooth-moving.30 HA can be delivered directly to the joint space to have a positive biochemical effect on cartilage cells.
Not only is the patented form of keratin (a protein) highly bioavailable, it has one of the highest proportions of the amino acid cysteine, which is involved in sulphur production, an important step in the antioxidant process.31
Herbal extract Angelica gigas Nakai is a novel inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation32 and has beenused in Asia for years to help ease inflammation. Just one capsule of this unique blend of ingredients can help provide fast-acting relief from joint discomfort.
