claim: Andrew Lessman’s MAXIMUM JOINT EFFORT is our most comprehensive formula providing the optimum potencies and the ideal forms (All Sulfate and Sodium-Free) of the key ingredients for the maintenance and repair of healthy joint tissue. This unique formula begins with clinically-established levels and ideal forms (All Sulfate and Sodium-Free) of the two most important and well-researched natural ingredients for joint health: Glucosamine Sulfate (1,500 mg) and Chondroitin Sulfate (1,200 mg). Given the importance of Sulfur to joint structure and function, we then add 1,000 mg of organic sulfur from MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane). We also add 100 mg of Turmeric (Curcumin) – standardized for 95% Curcuminoids because of its long list of benefits throughout the body, particularly its centuries old soothing role for our overworked joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin have been the subject of thousands of published articles and extensive international recognition; however, they are not medicines to treat joint ailments, but more importantly represent the vital structural molecules that comprise the structure of all our joints – healthy or not.
Glucosamine Sulfate is always the first line of joint defense, but unlike ordinary joint products, we refuse to use cheaper, unproven Glucosamine HCl (Hydrochloride). We only use the form of Glucosamine established in the scientific literature – Glucosamine Sulfate. Also unique is our special form of Sodium-Free Chondroitin Sulfate, which eliminates the Sodium present in other joint products. Our special Calcium Chondroitin Sulfate eliminates the risks of Sodium and instead provides the benefits of 80 mg of essential Calcium. Sadly, typical joint products use inferior sources of both Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Ordinary Glucosamine HCl does not possess the research-established benefits of Glucosamine Sulfate while common Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate can adversely affect blood pressure and heart health by delivering unwanted Sodium. In short, Glucosamine, Chondroitin and the Sulfur from their Sulfate forms, as well as from MSM, all provide the essential structural ingredients that make up the “building blocks” or the very “bricks and mortar” of our joints. By providing these essential structural molecules in their optimum forms and at their ideal potencies, we deliver maximum benefits to joint structure, health and function. No other body part endures more daily use and abuse than our joints and Maximum Joint Effort delivers the proper tools to help combat and repair the consequences of a lifetime of wear and tear. Best of all, Maximum Joint Effort is uniquely All Sulfate, Sodium-Free and Additive-Free making it unlike any joint product in the world.
