OSTRITIS is an advanced dietary supplement formula to help maintain cartilage for supple and flexible joints of patients suffering from Osteoarthritis.

The Creator has given over 140 joints to human body for its maximum versatility. To achieve human desires these joints have to be supple and flexible. The joints and muscles deserve the best care possible against un-necessary extreme use and torsion, which ultimately creates wear and tear of the joints. Medical research shows that certain nutritional factors play an important role in keeping the joints in good shape and health.

SUPPLEMENT FACTS:
Ostritis has been specifically developed to provide the following most comprehensive phyto combination available to help maintain Cartilage for Supple and Flexible Joints in Osteoarthritis:

Piper longum:
The fruits and roots both are used as stomach tonic, carminative, resolvent, diuretic and against cold affection like rheumatism, sciatica and lumbago.

Cervus Nippon:
Chemical analysis of Cervus Nippon revealed that this biologically active tissue is rich in glucosamine and chondroitin sulphates, all 24 amino acids, growth factors, collagen, choline, trace elements, anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, and unique combinations of proteins and carbohydrates. The composition of this item is not found in any other item of nature. The ability of Velvet to “support and restore joint structure and function” (as a result of osteoarthritis) was substantiated by scientific evidence in compliance with FDA regulations. Within the comprehensive network of velvet nutrients, some, such as glucosamino glycans, calcium, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, certainly contribute to joint support and relieving inflammation. Recent research has established that the high level of chondroitin sulphate found in the velvet acts like a “Liquid Magnet” attracting fluid into the proteoglycan molecules to ultimately help support human and animal cartilage.

Colchicum luteum:
Colchicum contains alkaloid colchicines in fairly large proportion. Readily soluble in water and spirit, decomposing into colchicines, tannic and gallic acid, starch sugar and gum, etc. Its roots or tubers are used as alterative and aperient, for getting rid of cold malhumours excess through purgation.
