In clinical studies, Celadrin has been shown to reduce joint pain in 30 minutes or less. It works by lubricating the cell membranes and increasing the cushioning ability of joints and bones - in effect, making them younger and more elastic.
The conclusion of a major clinical study reveals... "Celadrin provides an improvement in range of motion and overall function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Celadrin may be an (excellent) alternative to the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis."
Celadrin is made from a patented, complex blend of special fatty acids that have been esterified - they have been chemically changed into compounds called esters - to make them more bioavailable. Normally, the body has to convert fatty acids into esters in order to utilise them. However, with Celadrin they are already in a form that the body can use and are able to work faster and more effectively.
Celadrin has numerous benefits for the body, including switching off the process that leads to inflammation causing both pain and the breakdown of cartilage in the joints.
Celadrin acts as a super-lubricant throughout the body, softening tissues and making them more pliable as well as easing the movement of muscles and joints.
Finally, Celadrin can have beneficial effects on the immune system and can help in the treatment of painful auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis.
A double-blind clinical trial carried out jointly by medical centres in San Diego, California and Manipal, India, followed the progress of 64 patients with chronic osteoarthritis of the knee, who took either Celadrin capsules or a placebo. Assessments of levels of pain and joint mobility were carried out at the beginning of the trial, at 30 days and at the end of the 68 day study. Compared to those given a placebo, patients who were given Celadrin had more flexibility, fewer aches, less pain and were able to walk further distances than the placebo group.

What exactly is the "proprietary blend" in Celadrin Joint Care Relief softgels?

What is the source of the fatty acid in your softgels?

Are your capsules GMO free?
Yes, both our capsule shells and our softgel shells are GMO free.
Are your products gluten free?
All of our products are manufactured in a facility that is not dedicated to be gluten free. Therefore we cannot guarantee that any of our products are gluten free since there is always a possibility of cross-contamination.
Are your products peanut free?
Following compliance with food regulations, in order to make a negative claim such as "peanut free", it would be necessary to insure a zero tolerance of any peanut traces, including the possibilty of cross contamination. Although our manufacturing facility has a policy in place for allergen control, there is no specific policy for peanuts, nor is there a specific "no peanut agreement" with our raw material suppliers.
If a product does not specify "vegetarian capsule", then what is it made from?
These capsules are gelatin capsules sourced from either pork or beef.
Are any of your products "vegan-friendly"?
Yes, AdrenaSense, BioSil, EstroSense and MenoSense (from our Preferred Nutrition and WomenSense lines), our MacaPunch Products and the Ultimate Anti-Stress Vegan formula are all vegan friendly.
Can your products be used after the expiry date has passed?
Supplements generally keep their potency long after the expiry date. There is certainly no safety issues with consuming after the expiry date has passed however the potency degrades over longer periods of time.
Are any of your products tested on animals?
No, there is no animal testing on any of our products.
Should your supplements be taken with or without food?
Most of our products will specify directly on the bottle whether they should be taken with a meal or not. If nothing is stated, then the choice is yours as to when the best time is for you to take them.
I like the sound of many of your products. Am I able to take different formulas at the same time?
Yes, it's safe to combine various WomenSense products to help support the body in achieving optimal health. The same applies to the Balanced Planet products, Dr. Whitaker's formulas and to Brad King's. If you are unsure of any combination, then please consult your Health Care Practitioner.
I have heard that drinking green tea along with my supplements will end up flushing out all the nutrients? Is this true?
No, you are fine taking your supplements with green tea. Coffee inhibits the absorption of nutritients, but the caffeine in green tea will not pose the same problem.
Can you tell me if I can combine any of your supplements with the medication(s) I am on, as prescribed by my doctor?
It is best to consult your Doctor or alternative Health Practitioner before taking any new supplements while on medication.
Can I take your products when I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
We are not able to make any recommendations with any of our products when it comes to pregnancy or while nursing. You must contact your Health Practitioner, Naturopath or Pharmacist.
I understand that you put a recommended dosage on your labels, but I can take more or less than that, right? And, really, do I have to take the product every day?
With regards to the recommended dosage, we would suggest you speak to your Doctor or Health Care Practitioner before increasing any amounts. As with any supplement you can determine your amount based on your personal preference - if you find that a product works for you immediately then you should be fine to take it just on the days you feel you need it, but again we suggest you discuss this with you MD or HP. Some consumers find that a product needs to be in their system for a few days to a few weeks before they notice results and/or feel the full benefits.
