Jarrow Coconut Oil, 16oz
Coconut oil is a healthy, naturally saturated vegetable product. Unhydrogenated coconut oil contains “good” fat - 50% Lauric Acid. It is made up mostly of medium chain fatty acids, which the body metabolizes efficiently and converts into energy, rather than storing as fat. Coconut oil does not elevate your “bad” cholesterol level (LDL), and is slightly lower in calories than most vegetable oils.
The numerous health benefits of coconut oil are finally again reaching the mainstream.
Benefits like:
- Promoting heart health
- Promoting weight loss when and if you need it
- Supporting your immune system health
- Supporting a healthy metabolism
- Providing an immediate energy source for you
- Helping to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
- Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland
Coconut oil has a unique role in the diet as an important physiologically functional food. The health and nutritional benefits that can be derived from consuming coconut oil have been recognized in many parts of the world for centuries. Although the advantage of regular consumption of coconut oil has been underappreciated by the consumer and producer alike for the recent two or three decades, its unique benefits should be compelling for the health minded consumer of today. A review of the diet/heart disease literature relevant to coconut oil clearly indicates that coconut oil is at worst neutral with respect to atherogenicity of fats and oils and, in fact, is likely to be a beneficial oil for prevention and treatment of some heart disease. Additionally, coconut oil provides a source of antimicrobial lipid for individuals with compromised immune systems and is a nonpromoting fat with respect to chemical carcinogenesis.
There is only one oil that is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, while it also helps you promote heart health, maintain normal cholesterol levels and even helps you lose weight -- coconut oil.

What is Glucosamine?
|
|
|
Glucosamine is composed of glucose (a sugar) and glutamine (an amino acid). It is used by chondrocytes to form glycosaminoglycans (GSG) and proteoglycans (PG). Both of these constituents attract and bind water into cartilage, increasing resiliency.

How does MSM help with joint health?
|
|
|
MSM contains a lot of sulfur – 34% by weight. Sulfur is significant in joint health. MSM is thought to deliver sulfur to the body in a useable way. Sulfur helps maintain the structure of connective tissue by forming cross-linkages through disulfide bonds, for example, sulfur strengthens the tissues that make up the joint.

|
|
|
Are there any studies done on Glucosamine that establish that it is good for joint health?
|
|
|
Research indicates that glucosamine may help your body repair damaged or eroded cartilage. A number of studies have been conducted on glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, with a majority of positive results. Glucosamine sulfate is considered the more effective of the two.
One study from the University of Liege in Liege, Belgium studied the effects of glucosamine sulfate on 212 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Participants were given either 1,500 mg glucosamine or a placebo once daily for three years. The study compared joint-space width at enrollment, one year, and at the study’s conclusion. The 106 patients on placebo had a progressive joint-space narrowing, while participants taking glucosamine experienced no significant joint-space loss, indicating glucosamine may beneficially modify cartilage structure.
A study published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage in 1998 investigated the in vitro effects of glucosamine sulfate on proteoglycan and collagen making by chondrocytes taken from osteoarthritic articular cartilage. The results demonstrated “a statistically significant stimulation of PG production by chondrocytes from human osteoarthritic cartilage cultured for up to 12 days in 3-dimensional cultures.”
Another study from Italy enrolled eighty inpatients with established OA. They were given either 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate or placebo daily for 30 days. The patients given with glucosamine sulfate experienced a reduction in symptoms almost twice as large and twice as fast as those receiving placebo. Researchers also used electron microscopy of patient’s articular cartilage to support this hypothesis. Patients who received glucosamine sulfate showed a picture more similar to healthy cartilage. The researchers concluded that glucosamine sulfate tends to rebuild damaged articular cartilage and restore articular function.
