Jamieson BodyGUARDTM Joint & Bone benefits those who are looking for rapid, natural joint-pain relief and want to strengthen their bones and surrounding joints. Why Jamieson BodyGUARDTM? Inflammation of the joints, characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness or limited range of motion, ranks among Canadian women and men as a leading cause of disability. The patented ingredients in Jamieson BodyGUARDTM formulas work fast to combat joint wear and tear and ease the debilitating complaints of joint pain and inflammation. BodyGUARDTM Joint & Bone is a fast, effective once-a-day supplement containing 500 mg of Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM®) to help relieve joint pain while building healthy bones. Patented and clinically tested, NEM® contains the same nutrients that make up our joint cartilage, which are important to maintain joint health and flexibility. In one recent clinical study, individuals taking 500mg of NEM daily experienced significant reduction of pain and stiffness after just ten days. Additional clinical trials have shown that 500mg of NEM daily resulted in significant improvement in joint flexibility and comfort in as little as 7 days, and a consistent level of improvement with continued use. BodyGUARDTM Joint & Bone also contains 1000 IUs of vitamin D to improve bone strength and bone density. Why it Works “While NEM® feeds proteins and amino acids to your joints and connective tissue, it also suppresses inflammatory agents, thereby reducing pain, swelling and stiffness. NEM® is nearly five times more effective than other joint-care products, and it works faster at a lower dosage without the side effects of shellfish- or bovine-derived arthritis remedies. This breakthrough ingredient will let you walk comfortably again. Added vitamin D helps delay the development and progression of arthritis pain.Three rigorous clinical trials have shown that 500 mg of NEM® daily alleviates the effects of wear-and-tear discomfort and exercise-induced joint pain and stiffness by 30%. You’ll get proven pain relief in 7 to 10 days.” — Dr. Stephen Reed, MD, FRCSC Benefits: Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis Helps to relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee Helps to relieve joint pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis Helps to reduce joint pain and reduce stiffness Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorous.
