LIKELY USERS: People lacking flexibility or mobility; People wanting temporary control of aches and pains; People wanting to reduce pro-inflammatory body chemicals
KEY INGREDIENT(S): Celadrin 500 mg.
MAIN PRODUCT FEATURES: CELADRIN is an all-natural proprietary matrix of esterified (cetylated) fatty acid carbons (EFAC) derived from tallow of USA-raised cattle. This product is developed through a proprietary process of esterifying oil & has been clinically tested. Celadrin promotes joint health by improving flexibility, painmanagement and mobility. The myristoleic acids and the cetylated forms may alter the 5-LOXenzyme and change the leukotriene production, inhibiting inflammatory compounds.
Celadrin may offer some noticeable benefits faster than other substances,like glucosamine and chondroitin. It is not a substitute for these important nutrients, though.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES: MSM has synergistic abilities to reduce certain substances in the body which may affect inflammation.

SYNERGISTS: Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Joint Support Products, Manganese, Vitamin C, other Antioxidants
CAUTIONS: Please notify your physician about your supplement use if you are using any drugs!
