Skeptical?  Read On...

Another study, published in the Journal of Rheumatology concluded application of Cetylated Fatty Acid cream was an effective treatment for improving knee ROM (range of motion), ability to ascend/descend stairs, ability to raise from sitting, walk and sit down, and unilateral balance. (J Rheumatology 2004;31:767-74)[1]   

    And this within 30 minutes!

Will this help Rheumatoid Arthritis?  Rheumatoid Arthritis is inflammation of the joint and inflammation of the tissue around the joint.

Another study, published in the Journal of Rheumatology of a pill form of Cetylated Fatty Acids, printed “Conclusion. Compared to placebo, CFA provides an improvement in knee range of motion and overall function in patients with OA of the knee.  CFA may be an alternative to the use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of OA.” (italic added) (J Rheumatology 2002;29:1708-12)[2]

And what was the form of Cetylated Fatty Acids used in these studies?   

Bio-Directed Joint   

CLINIAL TRIAL SUMMARY:
A recent research study was done on Nikken’s Bio-Directed Joint formula by independent research groups outside of Nikken. It showed that the joint product was effective on 96% of the people who took it. A randomized double blind Phase III placebo study was done on 93 sufferers of Osteo-Arthritis, who have been diagnosed with OA for an average of 6 years. 52 men and 41 women, aged 37-77 over a period of 60 day treatment period where 96% of them found relief after two months.

 

**Click Here and try it for yourself.  Use it as directed for 30 Days and if you do not feel results, send back the empty bottles for a full refund!  With a 96% success rate, What have you got to lose?  Maybe some discomfort?  Some stiffness?  Some unsteadiness?

 
    BUT WAIT.  What about interaction with your RA meds? 

 Published in the Journal of Rheumatology  2002:29:1708-12:
“The CFA provided relief even for those individuals also receiving traditional medications.

…In summary, the use of a cetylated fatty acid complex improved knee range of motion and function in patients with OA of the knee of 5 to 6 years’ duration.” Cetylated Fatty Acids Improve Knee Function in Patients with Osteoarthritis by Robert Hesslink Jr. David Armstrong III, M.V. Nagendran, Srinan Sreevatsan, and Raj Barathur.

These double-blind studies were conducted while the participants were still taking their prescribed treatments!  But of course, if you have concerns, talk to your RA doctors and have them evaluate the ingredients of the Bio-Directed Joint for any known interactions with your prescriptions.

Again, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?  Discomfort?  Stiffness?  Unsteadiness?

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO GAIN?  Stairs?   Movement?  Ability To Get Out Of A Chair? or Open A Jar?

            WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE INGREDIENTS OF THE BIO-DIRECTED JOINT? 

1. Methyl Sulfonylmethane - (MSM) 150mg

  • Organic sulfur in all living organisms
  • 3rd largest ingredient found in the body (water, salt)
  • Creates new healthy cells
  • Increases bio availability of all nutrition
  • Cleans blood stream
  • Great for many allergies
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Carpal tunnel, lungs, muscle spasms, hyper tension, blood sugar

2. Glucosamine - 300mg

  • Natural amino mono saccharides found in joints
  • Restores normal biochemistry / supporting rebuilding of cartilage
  • Anti-inflammatory

3. High Potency CM (cetyl myristoleate) Complex – 1125 mg

  • Surfactant / loosens tight joints & tissues, even lubricates arteries
  • Anti-inflammatory / even in people where NSAIDS & corticosteroids have not been effective Immune system regulator / calms down hyper-immune responses & regulates immune systems that are not working at optimal levels
  • It’s an all-natural medium chain fatty acid found in only a small number of very select species of animals. Acts as an anti-inflammatory, as well as a surfactant and lubricant for damaged joints. Basically, it makes them more "slippery." Because it is an ester form, highly resistant to oxidation, it has a relatively long life in the body.
All  Bio-Directed Products are all made to pharmaceutical standards.
