TriVita Optima Helps Improve Flexibility

Help nourish and hydrate your joints to enjoy an active lifestyle

Our bodies become less flexible with age and it takes longer to recover from inflammation. As part of the aging process, we lose many cells every day; the majority from areas of our bodies that sustain the greatest wear and tear. From our fingers and knees to our hips and lower back, we use our joints and muscles to do everything. These are the places our bodies suffer the most damage from everyday use.

TriVita OptimaFlex® helps improve the movement of your joints and muscles with a natural solution that otters some of the most effective vitamins and nutrients available.

OptimaFlex is designed to help:

• Reduce inflammation and pain
• Increase joint hydration
• Improve flexibility quickly
• Repair connective tissue

SUCCESS STORIES
“Since taking OptimaFlex, I do not have the stiffness and pain in the morning…” “While visiting my daughter in Arizona, she introduced me to OptimaFlex, which I purchased for my husband – to help him with joint pain. At the same time, I had been having constant, terrible knee pain. I had trouble going up and down stairs, or kneeling down. I started taking OptimaFlex and noticed my knee was no longer hurting. I quit taking the OptimaFlex and the pain was back within 3 days. Since taking OptimaFlex, I do not have the stiffness and pain in the morning that I normally have, from the cold of living in Ohio. I mix the OptimaFlex in my Leanology shakes with frozen fruit, NutraFruits and Vitamin C Crystals and it tastes great. I will not go without OptimaFlex any longer. Thank you, TriVita.”

OptimaFlex’s top-quality blend contains:

• Boswellia – known for thousands of years as Frankincense, it helps reduce pain, inflammation and burning while increasing circulation
• Devil’s Claw – a plant extract which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relieving) properties
• Cat’s Claw – helps speed up healing while reducing pain and inflammation
• Circumin – an antioxidant that helps keep inflammation under control by inhibiting two common pain triggers – COX-2 and LOX enzymes – both which contribute to pain, arthritis and the breakdown of cartilage
• Bromelain – an enzyme that helps reduce the proteins that are released when a muscle or joint is overextended (studies have shown that bromelain can also help reduce bruising and pain, speed up recovery time and can even help as a therapeutic aid in treating inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis and sinusitis)
• Cetyl Myristoleate – an expensive, rare ingredient that has been shown in studies to protect the joints and help reduce the possibility of future damage
• Glucosamine and MSM – two ingredients that act together to help the joints rebuild cartilage

Arthritis: Want Healthy Joints? Keep On Moving!

The most common diagnosis in North America – more common than the common cold – is arthritis. This condition begins when old cartilage cells are cleared away faster than they are replaced with new ones. This deficit of new cells can be likened to spending just a little more money than you deposit each month. Sooner or later, your account will be empty. With arthritis, old cells are taken from a joint faster than new cells are added. Sooner or later, the joint becomes dry. Healthy joints Joint spaces are filled mostly with water. There are small, magnetic proteins embedded in collagen that constantly push each other apart. This suction creates a vacuum that is soon filled with water and nutrients. Every time you move the joint, some of this water is squeezed out along with waste from the joint cells. Between movements – when the joint is at rest – it once again draws in water and nutrients. Sick joints Many different things can interfere with the balance of cell life and death: trauma to the joints, toxins from infections and our environment, nutrient imbalances that create a deficit in the structure of joint cells, and stress that suppresses new joint cell formation. All of these influences can slow the production of new cartilage cells and hasten the death of existing cells. When a person lacks sufficient nutrients to make complete, healthy cells, immature and imbalanced cells will be produced instead. These may function for a time; however, sooner or later they will shatter and splinter into fractions of protein in your joint capsule. These act like slivers of broken glass. As they slice through certain “guardian” cells (called mast cells) large amounts of histamine are released and inflammation sets in. You can often hear the grinding in your joints when they become inflamed.

Nutrient rescue To make sure our joints remain healthy we all need the right nutrients in the right amounts and at the right times. These nutrients include joint-specific proteins such as glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, minerals including magnesium and potassium, and special fats that reside specifically in your joints. But there is another essential element to joint health: movement. Movement is key Remember, joints are made of living cells. Each cell must get nutrients in and waste out. But the cells have no blood supply. They have to get their nutrients by the gentle action of movement. Think of a sponge in a pail of water: If you want circulation in the sponge, you must squeeze and release it. If you want healthy joints you must move them to squeeze out the waste and draw in the nutrients. For good joint health you must move. Your body was made to move. By moving more you’ll enjoy greater flexibility and less pain. So, keep moving every day for healthy joints. Source: TriVita’s Weekly Wellness Report 8/30/2008
