MACHINE MOTION INGREDIENTS
Cissus Quadrangularis (500mg)
Heralded far and wide for its countless benefits, cissus quadrangularis is one of the most powerful all-natural joint support supplements available. Cissus is rich in a type of plant sterol known as ketosterones. These phytochemicals are responsible for the numerous benefits of cissus supplementation. Machine Motion includes a premium-grade cissus extract standardized to 40% ketosterones.Cissus supplementation has been well-documented to combat inflammation, relieve joint pain, and promote collagen synthesis.[1,2,3,4] This is all in addition to its ability to enhance weight loss and cholesterol levels.
Circumin (500mg)
Super potent extract supplying 45% curcuminoids. This extract percentage has been clinically shown to offer 5-6x greater bioavailability than conventional curcumin supplements.[5]Curcumin has long been used in folk medicine as a powerful, and all-natural, anti-inflammatory compound that combats both acute and chronic inflammation in the body. Curcumin accomplishes this via inhibition of Cytokine production and down-regulation of COX-2 activity, mimicking the effects of ibuprofen.[6,7]
Bromelain (400mg)
Naturally-occurring in pineapple, bromelain is a digestive enzyme that also serves as an effective pain relief compound, too. Bromelain has been used for centuries an all-natural anti-inflammatory agent to reduce redness and swelling.[8] Furthermore, the versatile enzyme also has shown efficacy in treating the aches and pains induced by osteoarthritis.[9,10]Sodium Hyaluronate (230mg)
Sodium Hyaluronate is a highly bioavailable form of hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan present in connective tissue that lubricates and cushions your joints. Countless studies have shown the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid, with some dubbing it the “fountain of youth.” Treatment with hyaluronic acid can reduce joint pain, improve symptoms of osteoarthritis, and may even reduce the need for joint replacement.[11,12,13]TamaFlex® Seed Extract & Tumeric (250mg)
TamaFlex is a plant-based synergistic blend of Tamarindus indica seeds and Turmeric root (Curcuma longa rhizome) that provides unique anti-inflammatory benefits targeting consumer joint health.
