Grape seed extract contains a rich source of plant flavonoids called oligomeric procyanidins, or more commonly,
OPCs. OPCs have many beneficial effects in the body, including stabilising capillary walls and preventing increases in capillary permeability. Connective tissue, blood vessels and capillary walls are all supported structurally by a collagen matrix. Grape seed extract supports collagen structures and helps to prevent destruction of collagen, as it promotes the reinforcement of the natural cross-linking of collagen fibres.

Iodine is an essential nutrient required for normal thyroid function, and is important for a baby’s brain development, visual skills, motor skills and hearing. Folic acid, if taken prior to conception, may reduce the risk of women having a child with birth defects of the brain and/or spinal cord, such as spina bifida. Folic acid is also one of the nutrients necessary for the production of normal red blood cells.

The ingredients in Blackmores Joint Formula with Glucosamine & Chondroitin are important for the maintenance of healthy joints, cartilage and
bone. Osteoarthritis is characterized by joint degeneration and loss of cartilage. As we get older the ‘wear and tear’ effects of everyday life may cause degenerative changes in the cartilage, making it more susceptible to breakdown and damage. Ageing decreases the ability to restore and synthesize normal
cartilage. Glucosamine is a natural component of the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid. It is a major building block of the substances that together with protein form the structural units in
cartilage.

Inflammation is the body’s reaction to physical, chemical or biological injury. Normally this process localises the problem and results in regeneration or repair of damaged tissue. Unfortunately this process is not always beneficial in some people, and in some circumstances can actually cause further damage and injury, such as in rheumatoid arthritis and
asthma. There are many mechanisms in the body involved in the inflammatory response. Lyprinol® helps to reduce inflammation and swelling by directly inhibiting the action of the enzymes involved in the inflammatory pathway called the LOX
pathway.
