Arthro-SYN™, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is
a synergistic blend of vitamins, mineral and other nutrients. Available in easy
to swallow capsules, Arthro-SYN™ has been carefully formulated to provide a wide
variety of ingredients well suited for the maintenance of healthy joints. Studies show that a high percentage of adults and
children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the
minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and
proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good
health, but also for the dietary management and prevention of chronic diseases. Chondroitin, a component of bovine cartilage, a
glycosaminoglycan formed in the body, is also used for the synthesis and
maintenance of connective tissue, primarily within the cartilage matrix. In
addition, chondroitin protects existing cartilage by reducing water loss from
the matrix and by inhibiting the enzymatic breakdown of the cartilage. The
omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA provide a natural counterbalance to the effects
of excess omega-6 fatty acids, because they serve as precursors for the
anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, and decrease the formation of
prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2. Thus, a balanced dietary intake of all of
these fatty acids appears to be necessary to maintain a normal immune response
during inflammation. Native Americans have used yucca, a desert tree
that grows in the southwestern United States, for numerous conditions, including
the modulation of normal inflammatory processes.. It is thought that the
saponins found within the plant are the main beneficial ingredients. Proteolytic enzymes, i.e. proteases, such as those
found in bromelain, papain, pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, are continuously
active in reshaping the tissues throughout the body as they participate in the
normal wound healing process. They help remove cellular debris, blood clots and
scar tissue, thus facilitating the re-growth of healthy tissue. Proteolytic
enzymes are also involved in the physiological removal of immune complexes. Arthro-SYN™ may be a useful dietary adjunct for
individuals wishing to supplement their diet with a variety of nutrients for
healthy joint maintenance. Adults take 4 capsules daily with meals or as
directed by physician. No adverse side effects reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Baum BJ, Margolies MR, Doku C, et al. The effect of -
