Schiff Triple Action Joint Care System - Coated Tablets, ...

Lubriflex contains three important nutrients that have never been combined before. Together, the ingredients provide a Triple Action Joint Care System:1. Uniflex?Uniflex? is a proprietary, patent-pending blend of extracts from two plants with long traditions of use ? Chinese Scullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) and Black Catechu (Acacia catechu). These two plants contain the potent bioflavonoid antioxidants catechin, baicalein, baicalin and wogonin. Bioflavonoids are phytonutrients found in almost all plants.The combined extract, Uniflex?, exhibits protective and antioxidant activities greater than either extract alone. In a human clinical study, Uniflex? showed significant benefits for joint health and mobility.*Joint Fluid Support: (Hyaluronic Acid) is the key lubricating component of synovial (joint) fluid found in your joints. Hyaluronic Acid is found throughout the body, but is concentrated in joints. Hyaluronic acid is made from Glucosamine building blocks converted into a very long, linear molecule that folds on itself to form a spherical shape in joint fluid. Hyaluronic Acid thus occupies large volumes, giving lubricating properties to joint fluid. This allows cartilage in joints to easily glide over each other, leading to smooth movements.Hyaluronic Acid is more than just lubrication. Hyaluronic Acid also acts as a signaling message in joints, telling joint cells whether more Hyaluronic Acid needs to be produced. Hyaluronic Acid also forms the backbone of aggrecan, which is a key component of cartilage itself. Aggrecan is a proteoglycan, which is the scientific term for the molecules that contain Chondroitin Sulfates, giving cartilage its property of resiliency and ability to hold water.A recent study, presented at the prestigious Federation for the American Societies of Experimental Biology in April 2004, discovered that Hyaluronic Acid administered orally was absorbed into the bloodstream, and deposited into joints.Glucosamine is one of building blocks of joints. It supports cartilage formulation by supplying the raw material the joint needs in its constant effort to rebuild cartilage. This helps feed, nourish, lubricate, and protect the joint.* It also helps build stronger, healthier, and better working joints.*Glucosamine has been the subject on hundreds of scientific studies which support its role in joint health.
