Prime Fifty Healthy Joints Tablets Prime Fifty Healthy Joints Tablets are specially formulated to support your joints & connective tissues such as tendons & ligaments, to help keep them in prime condition & ensure you stay active & agile as you get older. As well as targeting joint health, they are also formulated to provide general health benefits to support the body as it ages, so there is no need to take a separate multivitamin. Prime Fifty Healthy Joints Tablets contain: Glucosamine: Found naturally in quite high concentration in joints, glucosamine is recognised throughout the world as a front line joint health ingredient. It is a basic building block of certain constituents of cartilage & is important for maintaining elasticity, strength & resilience of cartilage & helping to reduce damage to joints. Chondroitin: Another material found naturally in joint tissues such as cartilage & connective tissues. Chondroitin tends to absorb water adding to the thickness & elasticity of collagen & is believed to destroy harmful enzymes in joint tissues which are responsible for breaking down cartilage. Hydrolysed Collagen: Collagen plays a major role in healthy connectives tissues such as tendons & ligaments.MSM (Methy Sulphonyl Methane): This contains a very high level of sulphur & it is the presence of this available sulphur that some believe is the reason why it has been shown in some studies to help joint health. Hyaluronic Acid: This is found naturally in our body, mostly in the joint, various connective tissues & also the eyes too. It is also used in its injection form by doctors, for those with painful joints, including osteoarthritis, increasing the natural cushion within joint tissue. Vitamin C, Manganese & Copper: Vitamin C has been shown to contribute to the formation of collagen, the protective layer between bones, whilst Manganese & Copper are proven scientifically to contribute to the maintenance of tendons & ligaments. As tendons & ligaments are both connected to bone, & collagen plays a key role in bone movement, these ingredients are highly relevant to support bone health. Vitamin C also plays a role in energy processes, the immune system & protecting cells against oxidative damage. Selenium, Zinc & Vitamin C: One of the cell damaging mechanisms within the body is known as 'oxidative stress'. All three of these nutrients contribute to the reduction of this oxidative stress, so help protect against cell damage, some of which occurs withing the joints. Vitamin C also supports energy, the immune system, collagen formation helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Zinc also brings a whole range of other benefits including immunity & cognitive support. Calcium: Contributes to bone health & also helps to support normal muscle function. Vitamin D: Supports ongoing bone health. Vitamin E: Also protect against cell damage caused by oxidative processes within the ageing body. Vitamins B6 & B12: These support red blood cell formation & contribute to normal levels of homocysteine. Homocysteine is associated with cardiovascular problems & therefore it is important to maintain normal levels & not allow homocysteine to get too high. Folate: This also helps maintain normal levels of homocysteine & has other health benefits such as red blood cell formation. It is involved in energy metabolism too. Copper: Together with Vitamin C, this contributes to collagen formation & also to the maintenance of connective tissues. The Prime Fifty range
Includes:: certain minerals that are more soluble & therefore more bio-available than most, namely bis-glycinates. This means that they are absorbed much more quickly absorbed than the more normal oxides & carbonates. The range also contains patented ingredient called Bioperine which has been proven in separate studies to also enhance the bio-availability of certain vitamins & minerals.
