Papain: Papain is a non-animal enzyme derived from the papaya fruit, which assists in the process of digestion. Arthritis Today, the consumer health magazine published by the Arthritis Foundation, states that papain is beneficial to those who suffer from either inflammatory or non-inflammatory types of arthritis. The inflammatory, or rheumatoid type, may benefit from papain supplements through an increase in the body’s own analgesia, quick recovery from injury and a reduction in circulating cellular attacks that lead to a painful inflammatory state. Non-inflammatory, or osteoarthritis, can benefit from papain’s ability to help remove the cellular waste products that build up in the joints.
Vitamin C:Vitamin C has been added to this formula because it is a co-factor for collagen synthesis. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. It also contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system, as well as normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, protection of cells from oxidative stress, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increases iron absorption. Bones and joints are continually in use and can be placed under strain by any number of factors, including: injury, repetitive strain, age, hormonal imbalance, high homocysteine levels, sports, inflammation (e.g. as a result of allergies and sensitivities of the immune system or infection), diet (e.g. a diet high in acid-forming foods, such as dairy and animal protein) and medical conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis. In fact, by age 60, 9 in every 10 people have arthritis.
Whatever the cause, once arthritis develops there is usually inflammation, causing pain, redness and swelling. Plus, the epidemic of osteoporosis (particularly prevalent during the menopause) has made many women think seriously about the health of their bones. It is the silent ‘thief’ that robs up to 25% of the skeleton by the time the sufferer reaches the age of 50. It also increases the risk of bone fractures, which occur in 1 in 3 women and 1 in 12 men by the age of 70.
Not many people think about nourishing their skeleton. However, our bones, just like every other part of our body are continually being re-built. They are structures of protein and collagen, which collect mainly calcium, plus phosphorus and magnesium.
