From the people who brought us Revive Active, this is a new and exciting joint complex. So what distinguishes Revive Active Joint Complex from the rest? As well as standard good-guys like MSM, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine, Revive’s formulation includes marine collagen which can help reduce pain caused by inflammation of the joints and stimulate cartilage activity. This in turn can help repair damaged joints. It’s a handy one a day sachet that is berry flavoured, perfect for diabetics and it is gluten free. Revive Active Joint Complex can help the following; Increase Bone Health Reduce Joint Pain Improve Joint Flexibility Help maintain normal skin function Collagen peptides are small molecular weight protein peptides, largely composed of Glycine, Hydroxyproline, Proline and Glutamic acid, the building blocks of cartilage. Collagen peptides stimulate the secretion of type 2 collagen and extra cellular matrix components. Peptan is scientifically proven to reduce joint pain, increase joint function and stimulate the activity of cartilage and bone building cells to repair damaged joints. MSM is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. MSM exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A major component of MSM is sulphur, which has an important role in the production of collagen, connective tissue and glucosamine. Both collagen and glucosamine are essential for healthy joints and bones, as well as in the production of immunoglobulin’s, which are important for the immune system. MSM also seems to possess analgesic properties by lessening the nerve impulses that transmit pain. Glucosamine is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis to slow the deterioration of cartilage, relieve pain from OA and improve joint function. Glucosamine is produced by the body and provides natural building blocks for growth, repair and cartilage maintenance and exist in the fluid around the joint. Glucosamine may also lubricate joints and aid in water retention in cartilage and prevent breakdown. The sulphate group of glucosamine sulphate is also proposed to aid in the function of cartilage repair.
