Exactly. Plus, everyone is different and unique in their joint pain or what have you. I was researching "Joint Juice" yesterday after seeing Joe Montana's commercial........I contacted customer service and was told that there was NO SHELLFISH in their formula........the ingredient they use is CORN.
Same day, I later read a book that said corn is NOT good for arthritics.
So, this book was lumping "corn" the vegetable (not just high fructose corn syrup) in with meat, dairy, sugar, processed foods, etc. as aggravating joint inflammation, pain, etc.
However, if you go to the JOINT JUICE website.....they have quite a few positive comments....although it can take 8 weeks to "kick in" as Joe Montana alludes to in his infomercial.........I don't have a shellfish allergy, just didn't like the thought of not knowing exactly where this shellfish cartilage or whatever it is..comes from. Dirty polluted waters?
Amazon.com has different "types" of JOINT JUICE......and one of them that I noticed, has artificial sweetener..........which I've always avoided.
It really is all so contradictory.........that's the only word I can think of so early in the morning..........anyway, my son advised me not to waste my money.
When our climate is dry and sunny, it's not so bad.....but today, humid, muggy with a large storm front appoaching.......I doubt if all the joint juice in the world is going to help these wrists to type or the shoulder to feel better.
The infra red Nuvee was supposed to help the blood circulation and soothe the knee pain.........but one would have to sit all day holding it.
I wonder if anyone has had any luck with TOMMY COPPER various products?
