 | It’s been a
long time since a new product introduction has created as much
excitement as the introduction of Forever Freedom! Designed to
help the body maintain healthy joint function and mobility and
alleviate pain, our formula provides some of nature's most
valuable nutritional elements for wellness in a unique and
profoundly effective form.
Forever
Freedom contains pure, stabilized Forever Living Aloe Vera
Gel. This alone contains the nutritional elements to boost
immune function, alleviate inflammation and strengthen
connective tissues, but combined with Glucosamine,
Chondroitin, MSM and Vitamin C, we have a synergistically
designed formula in a highly assimilable, liquid
form.
There has
been a tremendous amount of research validating the
efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin when taken
individually. In the last few years, the medical
community in the U.S. has begun to recognize that when
the two supplements are taken together, there is a
definite synergy that occurs. Military Medicine published the
results of a study at the Port Smith Naval Hospital in
Norfolk, Virginia, where over 30 Navy Seals experienced
"significant pain relief' after taking a proprietary
formulation of glucosamine and chondroitin for eight
weeks, and much larger studies are currently underway at
Johns Hopkins and the National Institutes of Health. These two
nutrients are the first line of defense against cartilage
damage, but each one works in a slightly different
way.
Glucosamine sulfate, found in crustacean shells (crab, lobster
or shrimp), functions as the primary building block for
proteoglycans, large molecules in cartilage that give it
buffering properties. It maintains fluid in the
cartilage, and regulates the metabolism of cartilage,
ensuring that tissue is not unnecessarily destroyed. It also
inhibits enzymes that degrade cartilage tissue, and blunts
damage from certain chemicals. When taken orally, glucosamine
sulfate is absorbed readily into the system and can be traced
to cartilage as soon as four hours after consumption. Similar
to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucosamine sulfate
has been shown to have unique anti-inflammatory effects.
Additionally, in some laboratory tests, the supplement
demonstrated a protective effect on the cartilage as well.
These studies suggest that Glucosamine sulfate may inhibit the
breakdown of cartilage and may have the potential to help
build up cartilage.
Chondroitin
sulfate, most commonly derived from shark cartilage, is a
larger molecule also found in human cartilage. It draws in
fluid and nutrients directly, since cartilage does not support
vasculature. It also fights cartilage-destroying enzymes.
Studies indicate that chondroitin seems to work as an
anti-inflammatory and reduces pain. Some laboratory
studies suggest that chondroitin sulfate may slow cartilage
breakdown and even spur cartilage
growth.
MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, a nonmetallic sulfur
compound which occurs widely in nature. Sulfur is
the third most abundant mineral in the human body, and is
essential for the normal functioning of the body's growth and
repair mechanisms. MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur,
and is found in a variety of fresh foods, including fruit,
vegetables, meat, fish and milk, but unless your diet is
composed primarily of raw foods, it is unlikely that you are
getting enough MSM for proper health. MSM is highly volatile,
so we lose most of this important mineral by heating, drying,
steaming, heat pasteurizing, and other processing of our
foods. It is estimated that the human body uses up at least
1/8 teaspoon of MSM each day, and so it needs to be replaced
daily. MSM is part of the Amino Acid Chain, and is the
flexible bond between proteins. When a cell dies, a new cell
takes its place. Without the needed amount of MSM, the new
cell attaches but becomes rigid. When tissues lose their
flexibility, problems develop with the lungs and other
parts of the body. MSM helps the cleanse the
body and increase blood circulation. Because there are
few nerves in the bones, our pain comes from the soft tissue.
MSM takes out the inflammation, permits muscles to heal and
prevents them from becoming sore. MSM helps stop pain impulses
before they reach the brain, acting as an analgesic and an
anti-inflammatory. The sulfur in MSM plays a role in the
formation of keratin (an essential protein for skin,
hair, and nail growth),and collagen (a protein that keeps skin
and joints healthy and flexible). Sulfur also helps the body
produce immunoglobulins (a class of antibodies), which
are important for normal immune function. MSM is also a free
radical scavenger. It dramatically improves allergies to
food and pollens and controls acidity in the stomach. We could
go on and on about this important nutritional element in
Forever Freedom, but there is one side effect we need to
mention: Your fingernails and hair will grow faster and become
stronger, because there is more MSM in hair and nail cells
than in any other part of the body! It is no more toxic than
water ... if you "overdose" on MSM, it becomes inert and just
passes through your system.
The final
primary ingredient in Forever Freedom is Vitamin C, in the
form of Ascorbic Acid. Vitamin C is essential for
collagen synthesis and connective tissue repair, and
gives us further benefits as an antioxidant.
Other
nutrients essential for joint health and pain management
are the full range of antioxidants: Vitamins A, C, E, and
selenium, as well as Vitamin D, the B Vitamins, and calcium,
magnesium, boron, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese,
silicon, and zinc.
We know
how powerful aloe vera is alone, but its properties as a
carrier are uncompared, allowing the o ingredients in Forever
Freedom to be much more quickly and efficiently assimilated,
dramatically shortening the time before results are
enjoyed and effects are increased!
Forever
Freedom is a definitive, synergistic formula for joint health,
but also offers profound benefits for overall health and
wellness, and (remember that one "side effect"?!)
beauty!
You have
Questions?
We’ve got
Answers!
1.
What is Forever Freedom?
A
delicious orange flavored nutritional drink especially
formulated by Forever Living Products for aiding in the
maintenance of proper joint function.
2.
What are the main ingredients in Forever Freedom?
Forever
Freedom's primary ingredient is our patented stabilized Aloe
Vera Gel. An 8 fluid ounce drink of Forever Freedom
contains: 3000 mgs of Glucosamine, 2400 mgs Chondroitin,
1440 mgs MSM and 500 mgs Vitamin C.
3.
What is Glucosamine? Chondroitin?
MSM?
Glucosamine is a substance found naturally in the body. It is
a form of amino sugar, known to assist in cartilage formation
and repair. It is also known for rebuilding damaged joints,
tendons, cartilage and soft tissue.
Chondroitin is one of the most vital of the compounds in
connective tissue, which is responsible for building and
supporting the cartilage. As a nutritional supplement, this
naturally occurring compound provides potent support for
strong, healthy cartilage and joints.
MSM, also known as methyl-sulfonyl-methane, is an organic
sulfur. Sulfur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body
found in every cell. It is found in food but is lost when
washed, cooked or steamed. The body uses MSM to create new
healthy cells as well as other health benefits.
4.
Can I overdose on Glucosamine, Chondroitin and
MSM? No.
Because all three elements occur naturally in the body, , body
uses what is needed and flushes any excess out.
5.
Are there any side effects?
There have
been no negative side effects reported. MSM has been used as a
dietary supplement for many years with no reports of negative
reactions. Glucosamine and Chondroitin have no known negative
side effects. Be sure to consult your physician if you have
any concerns or if you are pregnant or nursing.
6.
How much should I drink a day?
Because your body uses these natural components
(Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM) daily, we recommend you
drink Forever Freedom every day. Consumption may vary based on
body size, age and type of condition you currently might be
experiencing. We recommend you start with 4-6 fluid ounces
daily, although you can increase your daily consumption to
what best works for you.
7.
When will I see
results?
Everyone's body will respond
differently. You may experience relief within days, while
others can take weeks or months. Based on some of our personal
testimonials, people experienced relief within days of
drinking Forever Freedom. The body will always gain from the
benefits that Forever Freedom provides, but in different
ways for different people.
8.
What is the difference between Forever Freedom and Aloe Vera
Gel?
Although
both of these wonderful drinks contain our 100% F. stabilized
aloe vera gel, the benefits of each are different.
Aloe Vera
Gel drink is rich in vitamins and minerals and helps boost
energy and stimulate the metabolism. While our new Forever
Freedom, which also contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM and
Vitamin C, primarily focuses on the alleviation of aching
bones and joints. It also helps maintain healthy cartilage and
joints. While you can enjoy some of the same benefits in each
drink, they both have their distinct functions. In order to
ensure you're receiving the right amount of Aloe, we recommend
you take both products.
