The inflammatory process is one that affects many of us as we go about our daily lives with a wide range of symptoms suffered by those affected by inflammation. Inflammation is actually a process by which our body protects itself from harmful substances such as bacteria and viruses. Inflammation is the body’s first defence against infection and injury and is often accompanied by heat, redness, swelling and pain. These symptoms can occur in different places within the body from the joints to organs and arteries. Unfortunately, the immune system can trigger the inflammatory response by mistake, even when there is no risk of infection and this can lead to cumulative damage and disease later on.   The orthodox medical approach to inflammation has tended to focus on the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s), which can have a negative effect in the stomach and intestinal tract and may also accelerate joint destruction. Therefore, over recent years, people have begun to turn to a more natural approach. One of the newest and most exciting natural products for joint health is Celadrin.Celadrin is made from a patented complex blend of special esterified fatty acids and is very safe to use with no known or reported negative reactions or side effects. The esterifying process makes the fatty acid stable and prevents it from reacting with oxygen. Celadrin has undergone several clinical studies with results published twice in the prestigious Journal of Rheumatology for both oral and topical application as well as the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The use of Celadrin was studied using a double blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled trial (the most scientifically validated type). In the study 64 participants between the ages of 37 and 77 were given Celadrin and evaluated at the beginning of the trial, at 30 days and at the end of the 68-day study. In comparison to those given a placebo, those taking Celadrin had more flexibility, fewer aches, less pain and were able to walk for greater distances than the placebo group. Celadrin works by decreasing inflammation and lubricating cell membranes throughout the body, restoring fluids that cushion bones and joints to promote flexibility and mobility. Celadrin induces changes at a cellular level in the cell membranes, which affects the responsiveness of the cell membranes to inflammatory substances in a positive manner. Celadrin would provide excellent support to the role of glucosamine in joint health, because the wear on the joint area can be attributed to inflammation as well as insufficient lubrication and cell membrane fluidity. Celadrin provides continuous lubrication and also allows the cell membrane to repel inflammatory chemicals. The supportive effects of Celadrin allow glucosamine to perform faster and more efficiently in building joint cartilage as well as accelerating and promoting joint health. This dual action provides rapid joint cushioning, quickly alleviating inflammation, building cartilage and restoring the entire joint area. Celadrin is of great benefit to joint health where inflammation is a major factor and with this in mind studies are currently being carried out looking at potential benefits of Celadrin in alleviating such inflammatory conditions as gingivitis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia and colitis. With so many people suffering inflammatory disease in our society today Celadrin certainly offers a new way of dealing with this common problem. |
