JPF-1 is a combination of anti-inflammatory herbal extracts and nutrients currently available. This blend of ingredients helps reduce pain and inflammation around the joints.

JPF-1 does the following:

• Neutralization of free radicals. Excessive free radicals around the joint may cause additional damage and delay recovery of the tissue. Vitamin C and E may help to reduce the number of free radicals. 

• Increase of cartilage tissue density around the joints. The synergistic combination of a highly absorbable Glucosamine Complex with Chondroitin Sulfate may help to rebuild damaged cartilage while preventing further degradation of existing tissue, respectively.

• Increase in elasticity of the joints benefiting flexibility and endurance while providing adherence within the tissue. The therapeutic dosage of MSM, an organic form of sulfur, found in this formula may provide the strengthening of all connective tissues in the human body from joints to muscle and even bone structures. 

Preserve the health of joints and connective tissues. Joints are like the shock absorbers of our bodies. Without them, we would vibrate ourselves to pieces with every bump in the trail. They also give us the great range of motion we need to glide through all kinds of sports. Joints are made of cartilage, which is a gel-like tissue composed of about two-thirds water that serves as a major cushioning material. Over time, everyday wear and tear, poor nutrition, injuries, and aging can result in dry, brittle cartilage, which is vulnerable to damage and breakage. Targeted supplements such as glucosamine can help keep cartilage healthy and resilient by attracting and holding water and nutrients within it. These nutrients may also regenerate damaged cartilage to restore joint health and mobility. JPF-1 is a combination of nutrients(Glucosamine, MSM, and Chondroitin) that will help you with recovery after a strenous workout.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study performed in India, 118 people with osteoarthritis of the knee were given one of the following four treatments: glucosamine (500 mg three times daily), MSM (500 mg three times daily), a combination of glucosamine and MSM, or placebo. 16 The study ran for 12 weeks. The results showed that both MSM and glucosamine improved arthritis symptoms as compared to placebo, and that the combination of MSM and glucosamine was more effective than either one alone.

Benefits were also seen in a 12 week double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 50 people with osteoarthritis, utilizing MSM at a dose of three grams twice daily.

A number of studies also confirm glucosamine helps reduce pain in joints damaged by osteoarthritis. In one study, over 1,500 osteoarthritis patients took glucosamine sulfate for 50 days. Of these patients, an outstanding 95% received positive, noticeable benefits from glucosamine sulfate based on the objective therapeutic assessments of their doctors.

This study also compared the benefits of glucosamine sulfate to those of other forms of therapy, including aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). Both the patients and their doctors rated glucosamine sulfate significantly more effective as a pain reliever/anti-inflammatory.

Another more recent study with patients who suffered from arthritis of the knee and supplemented with glucosamine sulfate suffered fewer symptoms and even reduced damage to the knee compared to the group receiving a placebo.

Yet another recent study examined the effects of glucosamine on both pain and functional ability in people who suffered from regular knee pain. In only 8 to 12 weeks, with a dosage of 2,000 mg a day, those who supplemented with glucosamine enjoyed both pain relief and improved function.
