GHOST Officially Releases New Joint Supplement

Ghost Joint Supplement Facts Panel

GHOST adds Joint to their Wellness lineup of products. GHOST Joint was designed to help support healthy joints and ligaments through the use of key ingredients that can help reduce inflammation, aid in lubrication and promote joint health.

Glucosamine HCL – 1,500mg

Glucosamine is a fluid that is normally found in cartilage which surrounds joints, reduces pain/stiffness, etc. A recent study shows that at around 1500mg per day, Glucosamine is used by the body to make other chemicals that build tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the fluid that surrounds joints. Joints are cushioned by the fluid and cartilage around them. Taking glucosamine might increase the cartilage and fluid around joints and/or help prevent their breakdown.

Chondroitin Sulfate -1,200mg

Chondroitin Sulfate is very similar to Glucosamine as in it’s main action aids in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage. Studies suggest that Chondroitin Sulfate is most commonly used by adults in doses of 800-1200 mg per day.

OptiMSM – 1,000mg

OptiMSM is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, provides sulfur which is a key component of connective tissue, tendons and ligaments. OptiMSM contains 34% elemental sulfur, and has been shown to support several health benefits like muscle and exercise recovery, joint mobility, and healthy skin and hair. Without sufficient MSM sulfur, a body cannot maintain an appropriate level of homeostasis. Generally the suggested use is between 1 and 3 grams per day.

Curcumin C3 Reduct – 500mg

Curcumin C3 Reduct is the main active compound found in turmeric, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidants. Reduction in inflammation reduces pain and discomfort resulting in healthier/ better moving joints.

Chinese Skullcap – 250mg

Chinese Skullcap is generally used as an anti-inflammatory.  Most of the studies done on skullcap have examined Chinese skullcap. Native to China and parts of Russia, Chinese skullcap has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat allergies, infections, inflammation, cancer, and headaches. It may also have antifungal and antiviral effects.

Hyaluronic Acid – 200mg

Studies on Hyaluronic Acid show that above 120mg lubricate and cushions the joints which reduces friction. The evidence suggests that hyaluronic acid helps with soft tissue growth, prompts your body to make more collagen and elastin, keeps your skin moisturized, prevents tightness, boosts elasticity, and reduces scarring.

UC-II Chicken Cartilage – 40mg

UC-II Chicken Cartilage is a Type 2 collagen, the main structure protein found in cartilage to cushion the joints – preserve existing cartilage. Studies show that at a small amount of UC-II undenatured type II collagen, taken orally at 25-50mg, is believed to improve joint mobility, flexibility and comfort by preventing the immune system from attacking and damaging its own joint cartilage.

AquaLox – 40mg

AquaLox is at its “heart” an anti-inflammatory which inhibits 5-LOX, an enzyme that contributes to inflammation. At low doses (less than 50mg) AquaLox has clinically demonstrated to improve joint comfort and reduce a key cartilage-degrading enzyme, 5-LOXIN, a potent Boswellia serrata extract, has become one of the best known ingredients in the joint health category.

BioPerine – 5mg

BioPerine improves absorption of ingredients, specifically Curcumin up to 2,000%. Research shows that benefits include improved nutrient and supplement absorption, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, blood sugar control, and heart and brain health. The daily dosage when taken alone or as part of a supplement is 5-10mg.
