Joint Advance - Does Joint Advance Work?
Partly due to the fact that the large population of ‘baby boomers’ are reaching old age, there seem to be more and more joint pain remedies available on the market. Joint Advance is one such product and is designed to be used not only to treat aging joints, but also joints that have become stiff, sore and inflamed because of degenerative conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism.
The information for Joint Advance can be found on the company’s very comprehensive website which is easy to locate on the internet. While there are plenty of details about Joint Advance on the site, the overall tone is somewhat over-hyped and unprofessional. However, the site does include several customer testimonials, an excellent FAQ section and a list of the ingredients contained in the formula. Additionally, there is a section explaining how the joint, which is comprised of bone, cartilage and fluid, becomes damaged and exactly what needs to be done in order to relieve the pain and, as the site states, ‘help you feel like dancing again’.
One of the more questionable marketing tactics used on the website includes featuring well-known news channel logos, making it seem as though they endorsed the product, when in fact the Joint Advance advertisement was only featured during the show (as disclosed in the small print).
Joint Advance is offered for a free trial and the company has a generous 90-day money back guarantee. Unfortunately however, the actual cost per bottle is not clearly shown.
Joint Advance – Facts
Although Joint Advance claims to consist of a ‘unique’ formula, the ingredients are no different to many other joint relief products on the market. Joint Advance uses the commonly found and clinically tested substances Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM which work together (synergistically) to provide the ‘building blocks’ needed to repair and rebuild worn down cartilage and tissue. Added to this are Vitamin C, ginger and White Willow Bark, the latter containing the active ingredient Salicin, an effective anti-inflammatory.
The ingredient amounts are shown for Joint Advance and most of the ingredients are provided at their ideal doses to provide optimum joint pain relief. Because Joint Advance has a cumulative effect, it is recommended that it is used for at least 6 months. In the meantime, the company provide tips on general joint health, exercise and beneficial foods for those suffering from joint pain.

However, it does contain the tried and tested ingredients necessary to build stronger cartilage and reduce inflammation, making the consumer able to enjoy an active, pain-free life again over time. The only substance missing from the formula is a lubricating substance such as Omega-3 fatty acids or Hyaluronic acid, which could be taken as a separate supplement to complement the Joint Advance product.
