a study published in the November 2007 issue of the journal Nutrition Research1 regarding French maritime pine bark known by the trade name of Pycnogenol. In this study, 37 patients with poor joint function were randomized to receive 150 mg of Pycnogenol daily or placebo for three months. At the end of the study, those individuals supplemented with Pycnogenol reported a reduction in pain, stiffness and physical limitation that ranged anywhere from 43% to 52%. Interestingly, those people in the Pycnogenol group reported a significant decrease in their use of non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs along with COX2 inhibitors. The researchers speculated that the pine bark extract's effect may be due to its antioxidant and inflammation reducing properties.

There are some nutrients that just keep surfacing in the medical literature with more and more good news. Those two nutrients are fish oil and vitamin D. There were two studies recently published in the Archives of Ophthalmology regarding poor visual health that can lead to blindness in the elderly. In the first, researchers evaluated over 4,500 people between ages 60 and 80 who participated in a study by the National Institute of Health's National Eye Institute. Individuals completed a food questionnaire measuring various nutrients. One in particular was DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, found in fatty fish such as salmon and tuna. It was found that those who ate more than two servings a week of fish were least likely to develop poor visual health that can lead to blindness. Authors felt that the fatty acids might help promote cell health and survival as well as improve blood vessel function.

Niacin is really nicotinic acid in medical circles and was the third B vitamin to be discovered. This is the reason it's knows as vitamin B3. It wasn't until about 1943, though, that a couple of doctors reported that niacin worked wonders in relieving the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Unfortunately, their research was never well publicized since that was around the time that drug companies were promoting their own miracle "cure" for arthritis-cortisone.More on Arthritis And Niacinamide Relief

This is fine when used only occassionally but they are hard on the GI tract, and many of them harm the cardiovascular system. Narcotics like Vicodin are addictive and COX-2 inhibitors have caused hundreds of thousands of heart
attacks and tens of thousands of deaths.

Joints are unique structures that receive a considerable amount of wear and tear throughout a lifetime. If you live long enough, work hard enough, and play hard enough, you will probably have to deal with some degree of joint damage sometime in your life. The problems with joints stem from the fact that the cartilage surfaces that make up joints have little, if any, direct blood supply. You should visualize this cartilage as being similar to a sponge. It gets most of its nutrients for repair from the fluid within the joint capsule itself (synovial fluid). As the joint is moved throughout its range of motion, the sponge is compressed and released. This compressing action helps squeeze out waste material from the living cartilage cells.
