JointSelect
JointSelect is a unique all-natural anti-arthritis supplement that combines the proven arthritis-fighting benefits of Glucosamine with the traditional pain-relieving herbs Iridoforce (purified Devil’s Claw), Turmeric and Boswellia. The herbs used in JointSelect, a health promoting joint supplement have been clinically found to have the following effects:
Iridoforce (Devil’s Claw) has been clinically trialed to increase the cushioning effect between joints, to increase joint mobility and flexibility and to reduce painful joint discomfort. The active substances in Devil's Claw are iridoid glycosides, which have an analgesic and anti-swelling effect on painful joints by stimulating blood supply to the affected regions and by inhibiting the enzyme COX2
Glucosamine- supplementation potentially helps to replenish the building blocks of connective tissues, restoring impaired joint functions
Boswellia is one of the most ancient and respected herbs in traditional Ayurvedic Medicine. The boswellic acids in Boswellia have been shown in studies to reduce swelling by preventing white blood cells from irritating damaged tissue and by improving blood flow to the affected areas.
Turmeric is made from the root of Curcuma longa, a beautiful tropical plant with yellowish-white flowers, luscious fruits, and large lily-like leaves. Herbal healers have been using it for thousands of years to stop inflammation. The active ingredient in turmeric is called curcumin. Research has shown that curcumin naturally reduces your body's production of the prostaglandins which are involved in causing pain and inflammation, by inhibiting production of the COX-2 enzyme (the same enzyme targeted by expensive prescription drugs).

FAQ’s about JointSelect
What conditions can JointSelect be used for?
JointSelect is commonly prescribed for conditions affecting the joints, characterized by pain and inflammation, joint stiffness and decreased range of motion of the joint.
What causes osteoarthritis?
The exact cause isn't known. A person may be at increased risk of osteoarthritis because is hereditary. Osteoarthritis seems to be related to the wear and tear put on joints over the years in most people. But wear and tear alone doesn’t cause osteoarthritis.
What happens when a joint is affected?
A healthy joint has a smooth layer of cartilage which acts as a pad between the bones of the joint. Cartilage helps the joint move easily and comfortably. In some people, the cartilage wears out as the joints are used. This is the start of osteoarthritis. Over time, the cartilage wears away and the bones may rub against one another. Bones may even start to grow too thick on the ends where they meet to make a joint, and bits of cartilage and bone may loosen and get in the way of movement. This can cause pain, joint swelling and stiffness.
Who gets osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is more common in the elderly. Using the joints to do the same task over and over or simply using them over time can make osteoarthritis worse. Younger people can also get osteoarthritis. Athletes are at risk because they use their joints so much. People who have jobs that require the same movement over and over are also at risk. Injuries to a joint can increase the risk of arthritis in the joint later on. Excess weight also can accelerate arthritis in the knees, hips and spine.
Will arthritis get worse?
Osteoarthritis does tend to get worse over time. However you can do many things to help yourself. It's important to stay as active as possible. When joints hurt, people tend not to use them and the muscles get weak. This can cause stiff muscles, and it can make it harder to get around. This causes more pain and the cycle begins again.
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. Your immune system uses antibodies to protect you against disease and infection. But if you have rheumatoid arthritis, your antibodies attack your joints by mistake. This causes inflammation and pain in your joints, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other parts of your body, such as the lining of your heart and lungs.
What causes rheumatoid arthritis?
Doctors are not certain what triggers antibodies to attack your joints and cause rheumatoid arthritis. It may be caused by an infection, or it may run in families.
Who gets rheumatoid arthritis?
Anyone can develop rheumatoid arthritis. For most people, it begins between the ages of 25 and 50. It is 2 to 3 times more common in women. Smokers are also more at risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis, as are people who have a history of rheumatoid arthritis in their families.
How can I tell if I have rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects several joints at the same time, on both sides of your body. For example, both of your wrists may be painful and stiff. The hands, wrists, feet and knees are usually the first joints affected. Over time, it may also affect larger joints, such as your jaw, shoulders and hips.
Common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:
• Painful and swollen joints, especially in your hands, feet and knees
• Difficulty moving joints
• Stiffness and pain in affected joints (especially after sleeping)
• Fever
• Red, puffy hands
• Fatigue
• Hard bumps (called rheumatoid nodules) just under the skin near the joints
• Loss of appetite
How can my doctor diagnose rheumatoid arthritis?
Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and may give you a physical exam. He or she may also order blood tests, a joint fluid analysis (which tests the fluid in your joints for other possible causes of your pain) and X-rays to help make a diagnosis.
What is JointSelect?
JointSelect contains the patented IridoForce complex which is an extract from harpogophytum procumbens (Devil’s Claw). Combined with this are the natural ingredients glucosamine sulphate, curcumin, and boswellia. Biosorb is added to enhance the absorption of these ingredients by the body.
How does JointSelect work?
JointSelect works via the following mechanisms:
• Anti inflammatory and pain relieving Action -Cox2 Inhibitor
• Stimulating the formation of extracellular matrix - cartilage and bone formation
• Improving the cushioning between the joints - stimulation of Hyaluronic Acid
• Increasing collateral blood supply to the degraded joint
The rebuilding action of glucosamine is supported by the anti-inflammatory benefits of the Devil’s claw, curcumin and boswelia extracts. This ensures fast and effective relief of the symptoms.
What do I need to be careful of when using JointSelect?
JointSelect may increase stomach acidity, so if you have a stomach ulcer, use the product with caution.
If you have a shell fish allergy avoid using this product.
If you suffer from diabetes use this product under the supervision of your healthcare practitioner.
If you are using blood thinning medication like warfarin, avoid using this product.
If I am pregnant or breastfeeding can I use JointSelect?
The safety of the ingredients in JointSelect during pregnancy have not yet been determined. It is therefore advisable to not use the product during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
What can I do to relief my symptoms?
Eat sulphur containing foods, such as asparagus, eggs, garlic, and onions. Sulphur is needed for the repair and reconstruction of bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. Sulphur aids with the absorption of calcium.
Eat about 20 red cherries per day. These have been shown to relieve pain and inflammation.
Eat foods containing the amino acid histidine, such as rice, wheat, and rye. Histidine aids with the removal of heavy metals from the body.
Eat fresh pineapple. Bromelain is a digestive enzyme found in pineapple, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Avoid foods that contain solanine, such as peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, potatoes. Solanine interferes with enzymes in the muscles and may result in pain and discomfort.
If you are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), avoid salt. Take NSAIDs after meals and take an antacid one hour after taking the NSAID.
Do not take an iron containing supplement. Excess iron supplementation may be linked to pain, swelling, and joint destruction.
Introduce the trace mineral boron. Boron is found in foods such as plums, red grapes, apples, pears, and avocados.
Alternate cold and hot applications to reduce joint inflammation.
Take a hot bath or shower in the mornings to relieve morning stiffness.
Check for any underlying food allergies. Allergies trigger inflammation and can aggravate arthritis.
Exposure to sunlight ensures the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is essential for proper bone development.
Get regular, moderate exercise. Exercise aids with pain reduction and stops joint destruction. Regular exercise that does not put strain on the joints, will strengthen surrounding bones, muscles, and ligaments. Ideal exercises include, bicycle riding, walking, and water exercises. If you are overweight, try to lose the excess weight. Acidity in the body speeds up the rate at which cartilage gets destroyed. It is important to avoid all “acid” foods. Introduce omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish oil. EPA and DHA assist with pain reduction and have anti-inflammatory properties.
