"After taking just one bottle of Joint Relief,
I was completely
free of joint pain - despite rheumatoid arthritis that was so
bad, I couldn't walk or even get up from a chair without feeling
crippling pain. God bless you people! -- C.N. (81),

Joint Relief: 120 Tablets x 700 mg.
Introduction: Joint Relief,
another Alpha Omega product, is a nutritional supplement
formulated for joint support.
The ingredients
used in Joint Relief are described below:
Chicken Collagen Type II
This specially
processed sternal collagen contains 20% mucopolysaccharides,
including Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondrotin Sulfate A.
Unlike Chondrolin Sulfate drived from cattle, Chondrotin
Sulfate from Chicken Sternal Collagen Type II is more
effectively absorbed and utilized by the body.
Chicken Collagen Type II has been the subject of
research on joint health.
Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane (MSM)
MSM is a naturally-occurring
sulfur compound, almost ubiquitous in nature. It is found
in many food and drinks, including milk, coffee, tea and
green vegetables. When isolated and purified, it is
odorless, white, water soluble crystalline solid,
and has incredibly low toxicity.
MSM is related to
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which has been used for some
time as a therapeutic compound. MSM does not have
DMSO's seabed odor. Plus, MSM is not similar to inorganic
sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people
are allergic.
Known benefits of
MSM include: maintaining structure of the proteins in the
body, helping the formation of keratin which is essential
for hair and nail growth, aiding in the production of
immunoglobulin, which maintains the immune system, and
catalyzing the chemical reactions which change food
into energy.
Research:
MSM has been the subject of clinical research at
Oregon Health Sciences University.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Chicken Collagen Type II, methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM),
glucosamine sulfate. OTHER INGREDIENTS: Cellulose,
stearic acid, magnesium stearate, crosscarmellose sodium,
silicon dioxide, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
