A Joint Medicine to Buy Over the Counter

Joint pain is associated with two types of arthritis, osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage cushioning the bones deteriorates. This can cause pain and stiffness in the hands, knees, hips or back, which can be debilitating. Rheumatoid arthritis develops when the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, severe pain in the joints, loss of appetite and fever. Rheumatoid arthritis can also attack other parts of the body, such as the lungs.

  1. Omega XL

    • Omega XL consists of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that are extracted from Perna Canaliculus oil, which comes from mussels. This product is non-allergenic and natural, with no blood thinners. Omega-3 oils help to reduce inflammation and keep your blood from clotting excessively. Omega XL reduces the production of cytokines, which are responsible for the inflammatory response associated with antherosclerosis. In comparison to fish oil, using Omega-3 XL requires less DHA and EPA, two components of omega-3 oils, especially when they are bonded with perna canaliculus oil. Always ask your physician before taking any joint medication.

    Flex My Joints

    • The accumulation of free radicals in the joints and chronic inflammation of binding tissues are two reasons behind arthritis in the joints. Until recently, the options for reducing pain and providing joint nutrition were limited. While products such as Glucosamine are nutritionally beneficial, they do little to alleviate chronic pain, addressing the symptoms instead of the root of the cause. A product called Flex My Joints addresses this dilemma. Flex My Joints is not antioxidant nutrition or an anti-inflammation substance. Flex My Joints is derived from milk that stimulates the body's natural ability to limit free radicals and reduce inflammation. By stimulating the body's defense system from the inside, the body can repair damaged cells and improve joint function while reducing inflammation. Consult your physician before taking this product.

    Move Free Advanced Formula

    • Move Free Advanced Formula has three components to alleviate joint pain: Uniflex, hyaluronic acid, and glucosamine/chondroitin. Uniflex is a fast-acting, powerful combination of two herbal extracts: Chinese Scullcap root and Black Catechu Bark. Together, these herbal extracts help to protect the joints and help to eliminate free radicals that lead to joint deterioration. Joint fluid, or hyaluronic acid, is a powerful molecule that lubricates the joints and is already present in our joints. As we age, this molecule decreases, adding to the degeneration of the joints. Hyaluronic acid helps enhance shock absorption to the joints and helps distribute the weight across the joint. Glucosamine helps strengthen joint cartilage. Chondroitin attracts water, contributing to the cushioning effect of the cartilage. As always, you should consult your physician before taking this product.
