NEW! Next-Generation Nutrients for Rapid Relief of Joint Pain
LIFE EXTENSION MAGAZINE, May, 2007
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly 21 million Americans over the age of 25. As the US population continues to age, osteoarthritis is expected to become endemic among older adults. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases estimates that by 2030, approximately 72 million Americans will have reached the age of 65 and be at high risk for osteoarthritis.
In recent years, adults seeking relief from the crippling pain of arthritis have had to choose between expensive, potentially dangerous pain-relief drugs and safer but slower-acting supplements that support joint health. While supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have been repeatedly shown to improve both arthritis symptoms and joint functionality, it may take weeks or even months for the benefits to be felt—offering little relief in the meantime for those with severe, debilitating joint pain.
Fortunately, several new compounds have been identified that work quickly to relieve pain and promote rapid healing, thus bridging the gap between the onset of discomfort and the beginning of relief. These new-generation compounds not only offer faster-acting pain relief, but also work over time—either alone or in combination with traditional joint-health supplements—to provide comprehensive, broad-spectrum support for joint repair and tissue regeneration.
New Weapons for Fighting Joint Pain
Health-conscious adults who are interested in maintaining healthy joints have long relied
on nutritional supplements such as glucosamine chondroitin sulfate, and methyl-sulfonylmethane (MSM). While years of rigorous scientific study attest to the effectiveness of these supplements in relieving pain and supporting long-term joint health, one drawback has been compliance; high doses are required to obtain the maximum benefit.
Another drawback is their onset of action.Put simply, these traditional supplements take time to work, with studies suggesting that it may take two weeks or often even longer longer to fully experience their effects. Understandably, this delay in apparent relief may cause some patients to abandon therapy too soon. Patience is a virtue, but when pain strikes, it is only natural to seek immediate relief.
The good news is, scientists have made great progress in developing joint-health supplements with a more rapid onset of action. These remarkable compounds—which naturally nourish joint fluids and tissues, while improving joint pain and functionality in just hours or days—represent impressive new weapons in the pain-relief arsenal. They include:
- Keratin, which stimulates healthy new joint tissue and confers powerful antioxidant protection.
- Hyaluronic acid, an important component of connective joint tissue formerly available only by prescription—and only then by injection directly into the joints.
- Korean Angelica, an herbal extract that acts on the central nervous system to fight pain, without the adverse gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects associated with COX (cyclooxygenase) inhibitors such as ibuprofen and Celebrex®.
These agents work through several mechanisms to restore healthy joint function and structure, relieve inflammation, and provide immediate pain relief. They also complement traditional joint-health supplements such as glucosamine and MSM, by keeping pain at bay and “buying time” for these effective but slower-acting compounds to take full effect.

Seventeen years ago my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. That was a crazy reality for my family at the time because she was a gym teacher, swim instructor and an active mom who looked healthy. How could someone so active end up with cancer at 40? I was thirteen years old and remember asking myself this question, but having no answer.
things don’t go as planned. When weight-loss becomes an obsession, it can lead to heightened cravings, or even a defeatist mentality if things get too tough. That’s when it’s a signal that you may need to slow things down a bit. The trick to get dieting to be more effective is to have it as a normal part of your everyday life. Implementing the right food decisions to be part of your overall lifestyle instead of a temporary period can keep away those hidden calories from adding up to your weight (Zelman 2008). 
Speaking of eating less, one common belief is that the less food we eat, the less weight we would gain. However, it’s not always that simple. Research on those who skip breakfast showed they weighed more than those who eat said breakfast. That’s because those who eat less than three meals a day wind up consuming even more calories when they do eat. Be sure to have a breakfast that has protein and fiber (an egg, whole wheat toast, etc.) which will help keep you full until lunch (Zelman 2008). 
verages consists of alcohol, smoothies, or sodas, you can be unwittingly gaining more weight. A study on Americans detailed how most citizens can consume around 21% of their calorie intake through beverages alone. The issue here is that while beverages can satiate thirst, they don’t always affect hunger. Thus, you could be getting more than you bargained for. Exchange the latte for a cool glass of water instead, the coffee with cream for some skim milk, or the smoothie for 100% fruit juice. When it comes to alcohol, be sure to drink in moderation, or cut it out of your diet altogether (Zelman 2008). 
may sometimes be forcing yourself to eat every last bite. This here is another way that calories can slip through. Try to leave some of the big portions behind on that plate, and save it for another day. Or, if you can’t stand not having a clean plate, use smaller plates and bowls for your meals. You’ll consume less calories, but you won’t go hungry afterwards, and you won’t test the limits of your fullness either (Zelman 2008). 
Most of all, it’s important to have moderation in your meals. While something you eat may not pack on the gut, it might not help you lose it either. That’s why it’s vital to practice appropriate eating habits to keep your figure. Fruits, while containing fiber, also has high fructose sugar, and should be eaten in conjunction with vegetables. (Rousell). The same could be said for most of the food groups. From protein, to salt, to carbohydrates—your diet needs to be made up of variety. Together with both daily exercising and a good night’s sleep, you can keep your diet on track and make it an intrinsic part of your life.
