Zyflamend Helps Ease the Pain and Inflammation of Arthritis and May Possess Cancer-Fighting Properties. (And I Love It!)
New Chapter's unique herbal formula, Zyflamend, supports a healthy inflammatory response and provides multiple benefits for healthy aging, joint health, normal cell growth, bone health, and heart health.* Zyflamend contains 10 botanicals in hexane-free softgels that promote safe, natural, and healthy non-chronic inflammation management and whole-body health.
Natural, Whole-Body Approach to Inflammation
You may think that only your joints are affected by inflammation, but inflammation actually affects all of your major organ systems and therefore affects everyone. Because inflammation management is linked to whole-body health, a supplement that promotes a healthy inflammation response may be fundamental to your entire wellbeing.
Extensive research conducted within the last two decades has indicated that phytochemicals present in herbs and spices can safely and effectively promote a healthy inflammation response.* Zyflamend contains a concentrated blend of 10 time-honored herbs--including ginger, turmeric, rosemary, green tea, and oregano--which have been part of the human diet for thousands of years.
The herbs found in Zyflamend are gently extracted and highly concentrated to preserve their potency and stability. New Chapter's CO2 supercritical extraction process is prion and hexane free and does not contain synthetic additives or chemical solvents. Zyflamend is naturally gluten free.
Train Harder and Recover Faster
Most athletes know all too well the double-edged sword of post-exercise inflammation, the body's method of mending and strengthening muscles. Ideally, inflammation lets you train hard and bounce back quickly, but if your body is out of balance, inflammation may become chronic, compromising recovery from workouts and increasing your risk for injury. Zyflamend helps mitigate this negative chain of events by supporting your body’s response to inflammation, which can help you build strength and endurance.*
A Comprehensive Strategy for Joint and Bone Health
Stabilizing your body's inflammatory process is important for maintaining healthy joint function and bone health. When your inflammatory response is out of balance, your bones and soft tissues may be compromised.
The amino sugar glucosamine is used by the body to form and repair the cartilage that cushions and protects your joints. A comprehensive approach to joint health demands the presence of building blocks for new cartilage (glucosamine) and a healthy inflammation response.*
Emerging evidence suggests that inflammation exerts a significant effect on bone metabolism by stimulating production of RANKL (Receptor Activator for Nuclear Factor κ B Ligand), a molecule which activates osteoclasts, the cells responsible for the breakdown of bone.
Manage Your Inflammation Response and Promote Heart Health
Research suggests that maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system is linked to a healthy inflammatory response. C-reactive protein is a blood marker used to assess inflammation and heart health, and early data from a human clinical trial conducted at Columbia University suggests that daily supplementation with Zyflamend promotes healthy levels of C-reactive protein.
Stabilizing Inflammation for Healthy Aging
Aging is not the simple result of the passage of time. It is actually something our own bodies create, a side effect of the essential inflammatory system. While there is no "cure" for the natural process of aging, controlling low-level inflammation is now believed to have the potential to slow down the natural aging process.
Nourishing Healthy Joints with Extra Strength Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM by NOW Foods
This award-winning, high potency joint support formula contains the same potencies used in some of the industry’s most impactful landmark studies. Each two tablet serving contains 1,500 milligrams of Glucosamine Sulfate (from glucosamine potassium sulfate complex) along with 1,200 milligrams of Chondroitin Sulfate (from bovine cartilage). To facilitate proper stability, potassium has been added. As NOW’s flagship joint support product, this formula is regarded as one of the safest and most effective in the industry.
Flex Mobility™
NOW® Flex Mobility™ is a 100% vegetarian joint support formula that contains FlavanFlex™, a patented herbal extract that has been scientifically shown to support a healthy inflammatory response through its effects on COX & LOX enzymes. In addition, Regenasure® has been included, the only non-shellfish, non-animal derived Glucosamine. This synergistic union of key compounds and effective herbal extracts allows NOW® FlexMobility™ to provide comprehensive comfort and support for
healthy joint structure.*
Liquid Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM
NOW® Liquid Glucosamine & Chondroitin with MSM combines three of the most effective nutrients available today for supporting desirable joint health, in an easily absorbed liquid form. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are naturally occurring structural components that are used by the body to support healthy joint function. MSM, Manganese and Vitamin C complement Glucosamine and Chondroitin, and work
synergistically with them to provide optimal nutritional support.*
Glucosamine, MSM and Arnica Lotion
Sore, overworked joints can be a nuisance. That’s why NOW Glucosamine/MSM with Arnica Lotion was developed. By uniting three of the most effective joint supporting
supplements available, this fast-acting liposome lotion goes to work immediately to help soothe tired, aching joints. Thanks to advancements in liposome technology, it’s now possible to deliver vital nutrients through the epidermis and deep layers of tissue. With Glucosamine Sulfate having such a unique molecular structure, external application may actually be a more effective way to deliver this cartilage-friendly compound.*
No fixed monetary value could ever fully appraise the value of healthy, unfettered human mobility. And at the core of healthy mobility are strong, functional, well-lubricated joint structures. This, sadly, is not the reality known to a fair majority of aging adults. As we
age, a lifetime of shock and impact unsuspectingly takes its toll on the cartilage that cushions us. Factor in poor nutrition, insufficient stretching, and laughable exercise habits, and the situation becomes even more complicated. Flexibility becomes limited, discomforts grow more recognizable, and the simple task of getting from point A to B
becomes an ever-increasing challenge. Hope, however, is not lost. There are a number of chondro-protective agents and nutrients available that have been shown to provide joint
structures with the vital components needed for healthy, normalized mobility. “Glucosamine and Chondroitin are among the most significant, as they work by providing the raw material necessary to produce and maintain new cartilage, respectively.” Other chondroprotective nutrients and herbs, including Cetyl Myristoleate, MSM, Boswellin®, Celadrin®, and Hyaluronic Acid, work synergistically with
glucosamine and chondroitin to further support normal joint function.*
The key element in human joints is articular cartilage, the shockabsorbing tissue that connects two bones together. Articular cartilage is comprised of two different molecules, collagen and proteoglycans, with the remainder composed primarily of water (65-85%). Collagen, a protein that binds tissue together, provides elasticity. Proteoglycans,
composed of sugars and protein, absorb water, which provides lubrication and resiliency, nature’s shock absorber for your joints. Both compounds are produced by chondrocytes, caretaker cells responsible for the formation and maintenance of cartilage.
A deficiency in any one of the above constituents will increase the likelihood of wear and tear on articular cartilage, which can eventually lead to compromised joint function.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin, Natural Synergists
Glucosamine and chondroitin are safe, natural and effective compounds that support healthy joint function by supplying the materials needed to produce collagen and proteoglycans. This combination has become legendary, and over the past decade, has
been successfully used by millions of individuals on a worldwide scale. Working together, these two structural support compounds have been shown in hundreds of clinical studies to safely provide many of the key building blocks needed for the
proper, normal formation of articular cartilage.* Let’s examine each one
more closely.
Glucosamine is composed of glucose (a sugar) and glutamine
(an amino acid). It is utilized by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG) and
proteoglycans (PG). Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency. Research indicates that glucosamine assists the body in
repairing damaged, eroded cartilage tissues. Many studies have been conducted on glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, with a preponderance of positive results. Glucosamine sulfate is considered as the more effective of the two.*
Chondroitin is classified as a glycosaminoglycan (GAG). It bonds with collagen to form the basis of connective tissue. Chondroitin helps attract fluid into proteoglycans, thereby bringing nutrients into cartilage and providing shock absorption. While glucosamine helps manufacture and maintain cartilage, chondroitin keeps cartilage from becoming malnourished. Chondroitin works synergistically with glucosamine, and together,
they form the basis of many of the industry’s most popular joint support supplements.*
