Whether you are
younger or older, joints play a critical role in an athlete's life. How
flexible, resilient, and persistent are you? Are you pain free? Do you ache?
Joints play a major role in athletic performance. They attach to ligaments and
muscles. When working properly, they allow us to stop, start, pivot, change
direction, and countless other activities required in sports.
As we age, our
body produces fewer fluids that support joint health. Recently, science has
determined that Glucosamine, and Hyaluronic Acid are critical in optimal joint
performance & health.
According to the Mayo Clinic, "
Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage.
Glucosamine sulfate is a normal constituent of glycoaminoglycans in
cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. Available evidence from randomized controlled trials supports the use of glucosamine sulfate in the treatment of osteoarthritis, particularly of the knee. It is believed that the sulfate moiety provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis." Mayo Clinic says of Hyaluronic Acid, that it "is similar to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints. It works by acting like a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints and helps the joints to work properly."
The very best
way we've found to promote joint health is Prime Joint Support Formula by
Isotonix found exclusively on www.shop.com/oobnyc. This product works so well
that Scotty Pippen endorses and uses it. People tell him all the time he still
looks like he can compete on the professional level.
My personal
experience with this supplement is eliminating persistent joint pain in my
metatarsal & big toe joints. That pain has since gone away and I can play
more minutes for my basketball team (NYC Gay Basketball League) and have more
fun doing it.
