The vegetal silica in this product provides an important herb action that pharmaceutical circles have not even considered in their studies. We use vegetal silica to help the body make stronger bones, teeth, skin and nails. The connective tissues in your body consist of collagen, elastin, muco-polysaccharides or glucosaminoglycanes. These substances all have quantities of silica that binds us together.
If you look at the ingredients listed on a bottle of “Bone Joint and Muscle” and you will find no calcium listed. If calcium is to help us have strong bones and teeth, how can it do so when there is no calcium in the product? The answer comes through experience. We have asked people to have a bone density test taken before the use of this product. They then use the product for at least 3 or 4 months before that get another bone density test. The tests usually show an increase in bone mass. The calcium is derived from the vegetal silica in our product.
In 1939, Professor Adolf Butenant received a Nobel Prize in chemistry that proved that life cannot exist without silica. In 1972, Columbia University conducted research showing that silica is an essential nutrient that must be supplied in the diet to prevent skeletal deformities. Silica plays an important role in many other body functions and has a direct relationship to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of silica, a quantity far exceeds the figures for iron.
Red Clover contains isoflavones, which significantly reduce the loss of spinal bone mineral density and bone mineral content in men and women. Women in the pre- and peri-menopausal conditions also show a reduction in spinal bone mineral density and bone mineral content, however, it doesn’t seem to have this effect in post-menopausal women. Red Clover has some estrogenic activity. Some studies have shown that it can reduce the risk of endometrial and breast cancer. Other studies also show that Red Clove may modulate lipid metabolism such as lowering LDL and raising HDL levels. Some researchers think red clover may play a role in preventing cardiovascular disease because of its beneficial effects on the heart, vasculature, bone, bladder, and to help the gallbladder to be more efficient.
Skull Cap also contains flavonoids and other constituents that seem to be synergistic with the other ingredients in this product. It also has some binding capability to bind the serotonin receptor 5-HT7. This binding capability results in some potential sedative properties, but can be useful in stimulating hope and a feeling of usefulness in every day activities. This stimulates the body to greater activity in metabolic processes such as increasing the blood flow and therefore greater nutrition capabilities to the cells of the body. A greater capacity for nutrients in the cells means that the body can increase its health in the bones, joints and muscles.
Our next article will be the summary of the benefits you can receive by taking our “Bone Joint and Muscle” formula.
