BENEFITS Bone & Joint Health Energy & Vitality For fast, effective relief from joint pain and joint stiffness – naturally. Introducing fast joint care+: Made with the patented and proven ingredient NEM®, it provides the fastest, most effective way to improve mobility and range of motion due to osteoarthritis joint pain and joint stiffness. Benefits of taking fast joint care+ include: Fast pain relief in as little as 7-10 days Helps build joint cartilage, while improving long-term joint health Increases mobility and range of motion with noticeable reduced inflammation Just one easy-to-swallow capsule daily is all that it takes Research shows NEM® provides up to 5x better results than other natural health products including Glucosamine, with even better results than Rx products. What makes NEM® uniquely effective? Derived from egg shells, NEM® feeds your body all essential nutrients for proper joint health and flexibility, including glucosamine, fucose, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid as well collagen and other proteins. How NEM® and its ingredients work: Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate: Both help support cartilage matrix Hyaluronic acid: Well known to be lacking in those with osteoarthritis, makes-up an important part of cartilage structure and the cushioning synovial fluid Fucose: A natural sugar also low in those with osteoarthritis, makes up an important part of joint tissue Dermatan sulfate: An important part of the supporting structure of cartilage tissue, helping to hold collagen in place Type I collagen: New research shows type I collagen may be the most valuable due to its ability to boost glycosaminoglycan production, lower inflammation in the joint, and normalize type II collagen production. The Research fast joint care+ & Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical disorder characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, mood, memory and sleep issues that can be quite debilitating for those suffering from it. While there is no known cure for FM exciting new research holds promise in reliving symptoms of the disease and thus improving the quality of life for those affected. In an open label trial that took place in Toronto, 15 patients suffering from FM took 1 capsule (500mg) of fast joint care+ daily for eight weeks. Various aspects of the disease were measured via a series of self-reporting questionnaires taken at both the beginning and end of the trial. At the end of the trial results showed a significant improvement in sleep, pain while working (i.e. performing activities) and overall pain felt in FM. These very exciting and promising results show the need for future research with respect to the role that fast joint care+ may have on managing the pain and fatigue associated with FM and helping suffers return to doing the things they love to do.

Fast joint care+ and Non-Arthritic Joint Pain The anti-inflammatory properties that natural egg shell membrane found in fast joint care+ provides, has often been thought of as a useful tool in combating the inflammation and discomfort that can be felt in the joints of “weekend warriors” after a grueling faceoff with a long run or intense workout. Now we have the research to prove it. A one-month study involving 60 adults (average age 40) with non-arthritic, yet chronic joint pain consumed one capsule (500mg) of fast joint care+ or placebo, as well as a weekly exercise protocol designed to challenge the joint. Participants then rated the pain and discomfort felt immediately after the exercise as well as the day after. Those in the fast joint care+ joint care+ group reported significantly less joint pain post–exercise – 4 times less than the placebo group to be exact. Study supervised by Dr. John Berardi – presented at Precision Nutrition. Recent clinical studies using NEM® show it works, safely and effectively. This includes an Open Label Human Clinical Trial (2009) and Randomized, placebo-controlled Gold Standard Study (2009). Clinical Research: Open Label Human Clinical Trial on NEM® Results published in Clinical Intervention in Aging 2009; 4:235-40 Preliminary human clinical studies using 35+ patients with various joint and connective tissue disorders (knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, hands, back, neck, etc.) during a 1 month duration showed: 1. Significant improvement in pain At 7 days: 25% improvement At 30 days: Combined data from both studies = 51.4% reduction in overall pain Note: nearly ½ of study 1 patients reported being 100% pain-free in 30 days, and 1/3 of the study 2 group reported more than a 50% reduction in total pain. 2. Significant improvement in flexibility At 7 days: 27.8% improvement\ At 30 days: 43.7% improvement 3. Significant improvement in ROM pain (range of motion pain) At 30 days: 75.9% To see the full research article click here. Randomized, placebo-controlled Gold Standard Study on NEM® Results published in Clinical Rheumatology 2009;28:907-914 A randomized, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using 67 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) for 2 months showed: 1/2 of patients experienced >20% reduction in pain @ 10 Days 1/3 of patients experienced >50% reduction in pain @ 60 Days 1/4 of patients experienced >50% reduction in stiffness @ 10 Days 1/2 of patients experienced >50% reduction in stiffness @ 60 Days NEM® tested to show superior results versus other NHP options: • Almost 5x more likely that an individual will experience a 50% reduction in pain vs. Glucosamine The Formula One (1) capsule of fast joint care+ contains: Medicinal ingredients: Gallus gallus: Natural Eggshel Membrane NEM® 500mg Non-medicinal ingredients: Cellulose, Rice flour, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.
