ArthroMax™ with Theaflavins
120 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number:
01303

As we age, structural alterations occur in our joints, leading to painful inflammation, discomfort, and loss of mobility. ArthroMax™ is the multi-nutrient formula designed to provide broad-spectrum support for aging joints and cartilage. And based on recent scientific findings, ArthroMax™ has been enhanced with higher potencies of certain ingredients and now also contains theaflavins.

This ArthroMax™ formula contains more glucosamine sulfate along with a special Boswellia extract known as 5-LOXIN®. Glucosamine sulfate provides underlying structural foundation for joints while 5-LOXIN® inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme, thereby reducing levels of pro-inflammatory leukotriene B4.

Inflammatory reactions are regulated by a series of cytokines produced in the body. Normal aging results in an unfavorable balance of cytokines that contributes to persistent inflammatory conditions. New studies have shown that a special fraction found in black tea suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines at the genomic level. Scientists have found that these compounds called theaflavins uniquely down-regulate the expression of genes and cytokines associated with inflammatory conditions.36

ArthroMax™ provides these bioactive theaflavin fractions, along with methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which contains sulfur components that are critically important in maintaining connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage. FruiteX B® OsteoBoron®, a patented form of boron identical to natural plant forms found in food and considered more bioavailable than other forms of boron, also supports healthy bones and joints.

ArthroMax™ with Theaflavins has less than 10 mg of caffeine per serving (the amount found in a quarter cup of brewed green tea).
