Joints comprise at least two bones that meet at a common position. However, the bones do not touch each other to allow easy flexing, bending, or rotation. Each bone end contains cartilage, which acts as a protective layer.
The cartilage contains high amounts of water, allowing it to glide and move easily. The joint membrane is the connective tissue where the cartilage-covered bones meet. The membrane contains synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint. The fluid should remain thick to allow for smoother joint movement.
When the joint experiences trauma from dislocation, fracture, or overuse, the cells in the cartilage release repair chemicals that help in the recovery process.
However, some injuries can cause excessive trauma that overwhelms the natural healing process. The cartilage loses its water-retaining ability, hence less lubrication due to dryness. When the condition persists, it becomes brittle, leading to extreme damage to joint cells.
It also leads to the formation of holes that make the lubrication fluid leak. When blood enters through the holes, it causes inflammation due to cytokines. When left untreated, this condition could become irreversible.
Marine Flex Ultra is rich in omega 3:DHA and EPH from a rare green-lipped mussel from New Zealand. The supplement works by interrupting joint pain and inflammation. It helps in the repair of damaged cartilage and replenishes the lubrication fluid. Therefore, it provides for smoother and painless joint movements.
