Celadrin Stops Arthritis Pain in 30 Minutes
Arthritis, cancer, heart attacks, allergies, bowel disease, Alzheimer's and dozens of other conditions all have one thing in common-inflammation. Inflammation noted by pain, heat, redness and swelling is the body's first defense against infection and injury. But when the flames of inflammation run out of control, deadly consequences arise. Celadrin®, a blend of special fatty acids, is one of the most effective, natural anti-inflammatories. Both humans and animals have shown remarkable benefits of reduced pain and swelling, increased movement and reduction of inflammatory factors when using Celadrin.
Results of a double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial (the most scientifically validated type) published in the prestigious Journal of Rheumatology found that Celadrin, when taken orally improved joint and mobility problems. Sixty-four participants between the ages of 37 and 77 were given Celadrin capsules. They were evaluated at the beginning, at 30 days and at the end of the 68-day study. Compared to placebo, Celadrin shined. Participants had more flexibility, less aches and pain and were able to walk longer distances than the placebo group.
How Celadrin Works
Celadrin works similar to but much more dramatically than the essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA from fish oils. Fatty acids provide many vital beneficial effects for the immune and inflammatory responses of the body. Various fatty acids induce changes in cell membranes and the responsiveness of the membrane to certain immune factors. They also play a role in suppressing inflammatory cell functions, decreasing cartilage breakdown, triggering of cell death and, like NSAIDs, reducing the inflammatory activities of the COX-2 enzyme.
It also works by inhibiting arachidonic acid, one of the main promoters of the inflammatory cascade of immune factors by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase, another mediator of inflammation. It may also alter cellular membranes, protecting them from the action of inflammatory cytokines or by reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and CRP.
Low CRP levels
Derek, a now 62-year-old Olympic athlete who had competed in the triple jump at the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games, continued to maintain his fitness over the years despite his very sore knees. He had tried many different joint healing supplements from MSM, glucosamine to chondroitin with little success. In 1999 he started using Celadrin pills and topical cream and within a few weeks his joint pain was eliminated. Later he suffered a shoulder injury where the doctor recommended surgery. He decided to avoid the operation and rely on Celadrin. Two months after the injury he was lifting weights and sprinting again. Even more exciting were the results from his annual physical check ups. In 1999 before starting Celadrin his bad cholesterol LDL was 177 mg/dL in the high-risk zone and recently in 2004 it was 122 mg/dL that is desirable. His good cholesterol HDL was 54 mg/dL, which was adequate and now it is 74 mg/dL, both excellent improvements. Back in 1999 doctors did not routinely perform a CRP level but if you look at Derek's CRP level today of 0.13 mg/dL, this is outstanding for a 60-year-old who exercises daily. Those who train daily have higher CRP levels to begin with so his CRP level is amazing. We learned earlier that CRP is a predictor of heart attack, stroke and other inflammatory disorders by reducing CRP using Celadrin our risks can be reduced.
Celadrin and Glucosamine Combined
Glucosamine has been clinically studied and shown to increase range of motion and relieve pain at the same rate as ibuprofen. Glucosamine assists in rebuilding cartilage and the overall structure of the joint. 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 allows the cell membrane to repel inflammatory messengers from the immune system. Celadrin stops the cascade of inflammation and the assaults on the membrane that cause it to stiffen. Celadrin empowers glucosamine to perform faster and more efficiently in building joint cartilage. The dual action of Celadrin and glucosamine will provide rapid joint cushioning, quickly alleviate inflammation, build cartilage and restore the entire joint area.
Pets and Arthritis
As the owner of two beautiful Bengal cats, one with osteoarthritis caused by hip dysplasia, I know how I feel when one of them is sick or in pain. Osteoarthritis in domestic animals is a common condition. Over 20 percent of dogs over the age of one are suffering this painful, debilitating condition. The causes of arthritis in pets are very similar to those in humans: poor nutrition, repetitive wear and tear on the joints and hereditary conditions associated with joint destruction. The family pet has also become the latest victim of inactivity and obesity. Overweight animals suffer greater bouts of osteoarthritis.
Veterinarians use aspirin or acetaminophen or NSAID medications. The most common side effect of NSAID administration in dogs is gastrointestinal toxicity ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to a silent ulcer. Pet owners are leery of these drugs due to their side effects and they should be. There are far more contraindications for these drugs for animals than for humans. This has caused a shift to alternative therapies for the treatment of osteoarthritis in animals. The most common treatment is glucosamine sulphate yet there is limited information showing its efficacy in dogs. Research using Celadrin in humans and animals shows great improvement in the joint within a relatively short period of time.
