Benefits of Joint Mechanic-Plus™ and Meriva®
* Joint Support*
* Maintenance of the Body’s Normal Inflammatory Response*
* Immune System Support*
* Provides Potent Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Activity*
Joint Mechanic Plus is enhanced with Meriva (curcumin phytosome). The body has a very difficult time absorbing traditional turmeric and curcumin extracts. Meriva is a potent curcumin phytosome (curcumin bound to phosphatidylcholine) that is vastly more absorbable and effective than standardized curcumin extracts.*
A 2007 study published in the journal, Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, demonstrated Meriva's superior bioavailability compared to ordinary curcumin. Liver levels of curcumin were also higher with Meriva® supplementation. A human study demonstrated 29-times greater bioavailability. In both studies, Meriva® supplementation resulted in higher plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller dose than with ordinary curcumin.*
Joint Mechanic-Plus™ is proudly made in the USA in a cGMP facility and is formulated & manufactured without the use of any banned substances. Contains ZERO wheat, sugar, starch, egg, milk, nuts, whey or salt. TESTED GLUTEN FREE!
Suggested Use: For best results take three (3) DR-Caps once or twice daily as directed by your physician.
Allergen Warning: Contains ingredients derived from shellfish & soy. Meriva® contains curcumin phytosome, a plant extract complexed with phosphatidylcholine, which is derived from soy. Phosphatidylcholine contains no soy protein. There are no other soy-based ingredients in Meriva®.
Interactions: Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.
Warning: Do not use if you are allergic to shellfish or soy. If pregnant or nursing consult your doctor prior to use. Always consult your physician before starting any supplement regimen.

A DR-Cap is a thicker walled veggie capsule (plant derived hypromellose) designed to protect the ingredients it contains from destruction in stomach acid for an extended period in comparison to standard gelatin or veggie capsules. Stomach acid can destroy as much as 95% of a formula’s active ingredients. The added protection provided by DR-Caps may increase a formula’s potency by as much as 80%. Wow!*
Meriva® is a unique, patented, curcumin product. People throughout Asia have benefited from the healthful effects of curcumin for centuries. Curcumin is the orange pigment in turmeric (the primary ingredient in curry), and is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including supporting joint health and cardiovascular function, and helping to maintain the body's normal inflammatory response.*
Whether taken as a supplement or from food, curcumin is generally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. In conjunction with Indena S.p.A., the worldwide experts in botanical extract technology, we have uncovered the key to curcumin absorption – phytosome technology. Meriva® curcumin phytosome is a unique curcumin extract that is significantly better absorbed than other curcumin extracts.*
Phytosomes are plant extracts bound to phosphatidylcholine (PC), an essential component of human cells. Our bodies can make PC, but we can also get it from food or supplements. When taken orally, PC is very well absorbed. The scientists at Indena found a way to attach a curcumin extract to PC for superior absorption, resulting in Meriva®. When you take Meriva® your body absorbs the PC and the attached curcumin, resulting in more curcumin reaching the cells that can benefit from it.*
A 2007 study published in the journal, Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, demonstrated Meriva's superior bioavailability compared to ordinary curcumin. Liver levels of curcumin were also higher with Meriva® supplementation. A human study demonstrated 29-times greater bioavailability. In both studies, Meriva® supplementation resulted in higher plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller dose than with ordinary curcumin.
In a recent eight-month human trial, Meriva® was shown to support a healthy inflammatory response.* Individuals experienced improvements in clinical and biochemical end-points associated with joint health.*
Several studies have illustrated curcumin's hepatoprotective effects, leading researchers to suggest its use in protecting the liver from exogenous insults from environmental toxins.* Curcumin also has the capacity to increase both the flow and solubility of bile.* Curcumin's hepatoprotective effects are due in part to direct free-radical scavenging; but curcumin also enhances the body's natural antioxidant system, which increases glutathione levels, thereby aiding in hepatic detoxification and inhibiting nitrosamine formation.*

Everyone is different and may experience effects at different rates. With that said, most people experience pronounced effects in the first 4-7 days of use at three small (00) DR-Caps per day. That says a lot considering most joint support products take weeks or months of use to actually feel, and have large tablets and serving sizes*
Many athletes stack our KRILL-500™, R.P.G.™, ZMK™ and Somnidren-GH™ with Joint Mechanic-Plus™ to assist in their recovery efforts.*
