Who can benefit from IONMAN Glucosamine cream?
Individuals that:
• Suffer from pain or stiffness in the knees, hands, feet, spine, shoulders, elbows or hips
• Experience a limited range of motion in the joints
• Have swollen or inflamed knees, fingers, toes, ankles due to joint degeneration
• Experience arthritic back, neck shoulder and or knee pain
• Have recently injured or sprained a joint and or pulled a tendon
• Are involved in any high intensity activities or high impact sports
• Any professional athlete at any level
• Have a family history of any joint diseases
• Any aged individual with degenerating joints
GENERAL INFORMATION
Cartilage is a tough, gel-like material that covers the ends of bones where they meet to form a joint. Cartilage allows bones to glide smoothly across each other during movement, and acts as a shock absorber for the joints. Over time, normal “wear and tear” in the body causes cartilage to crack and break away from the joints (pain). As this protective coating wears away, the bones start to grind against each other during movement (severe pain). This can result in a condition known as osteoarthritis (OA), which is characterized by pain, inflammation and stiffness in the joints; in particular, the joints of the hips, spine, knees, feet and hands.
Primary OA is the normal degeneration due to decades of wear and tear and stress being placed on the collagen of the cartilage.
Secondary OA is due to predisposing factors such as trauma and or previous inflammatory disease. IONMAN contains glucosamine that can help relieve the pain caused by OA, and individuals with age-related degenerative joint diseases or acute joint injuries.
Glucosamine is a biological chemical that is naturally present in bone cartilage where it forms the major cushioning ingredients of the synovial fluids of the joints and surrounding tissues. Glucosamine is composed of a sugar molecule (glucose) and an amine group. While most sugars come from dietary sources and are burned for energy, amino sugars are mainly formed in the body and used primarily in manufacturing tissue components. As such, glucosamine helps form the proteoglycans that fit within the spaces in cartilage netting that is needed to restore joint structure.
Normal wear and tear during bodily functions means that tissues are constantly broken down (metabolized) and replaced or restructured. Glucosamine amino sugars are thus are continuously in demand. With age, the body’s ability to produce glucosamine become impaired, and can result in considerable dysfunction and pain. Therefore, glucosamine metabolism is a very important factor to stop or slow the development of osteoarthritis. As a “building block” of cartilage, glucosamine can help to slow the development of mild to moderate OA by protecting and strengthening cartilage, allowing it to retain its cushioning effects and lubricate the joints. It also plays a role in preventing further joint damage, reduces inflammation and supports pain-free movement of the joints.
Glucosamine is thought to be even more effective for relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, while anti-inflammatory drugs provide pain relief from OA, they do not address the fundamental problem of cartilage loss and degeneration, and can also have serious side effects, such as internal bleeding or liver failure, that can sometimes come with long-term anti-inflammatory drug use.
Therefore ION-MAN glucosamine cream is suitable for individuals with shellfish allergies.
IONMAN Topical Cream is a natural approach to support pain-free movement and repair of joints and tendons. IONMAN topical form is superior because it has an extremely high bioavailability rate.
Therefore, IOMAN is effective because it directly targets the joints and tendons to provide and almost immediate pain relief. It is also ideal for individuals with osteoarthritis that have not had success with oral glucosamine due to a very low bioavailability rate.
DIRECTIONS
Application: The cream is designed for tendon and joint management, therefore apply over top of joints and follow tendon lines of the muscular skeletal structure for best results.
NOTES:
Although I have focused on the main ingredient, the cream has other ingredients that facilitate its absorption through the skin into the bloodstream as well as a natural source mild pain inhibitor.
