"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 been used 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."
