What is Celadrin® and what are the key health benefits?
What is Celadrin®?
Celadrin® is a natural anti-inflammatory product that has been developed to support healthy joint function and flexibility. Clinical studies show that it benefits safely and without side effects. It is made from a patented blend of esterified fatty acid carbons, and works similar to, but more effectively than the essential fatty acids from fish oils - EPA and DHA.
Does it work?
There is plenty of science behind Celadrin®. Clinical studies have been conducted showing positive results, and have been published in the Journal of Rheumatology, and Journal of Strength and Conditioning.
A 2001 study was conducted on 64 patients that suffered knee pain, and it was determined that Celadrin® when taken orally reduced pain, and provided improvements to knee range of motion, and overall function over a placebo.
A 2004 study of 42 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee was conducted using topical application of Celadrin®. 100% of the patients in the study showed significant benefit compared to the patients on the placebo cream. Results showed reduced pain and stiffness, improved balance and strength and better mobility. Researchers evaluated physical function, postural movement, pain and range of motion. Improvements were seen in all aspects tested even after only 30 minutes of applying the cream, and further cumulative benefits occurred after 30 days.
What are the key benefits and uses of Celadrin®?
- Celadrin is fast acting for quick relief in as little as 30 minutes.
- Promotes healthy or normal joint function.
- Decrease knee discomfort and increase walking ability
- Provide temporary relief from minor aches and pains associated with simple backaches, sprains, strains, bruises and inflammation and stiffness of joints.
- Relieve muscle stiffness resulting from injury.
- Enhance and lubricate cell membranes and the fluids that cushions bones and joints, maintaining flexibility and mobility.
To summarise, Celadrin® induces changes in the cell membranes to assist healthy joint function. It reduces discomfort in joints quickly by decreasing inflammation and lubricating cell membranes throughout the body to restore the fluid cushioning bones and joints, and promote flexibility and mobility. Long term the reduction of inflammation achieved by using Celadrin® positively helps towards healthy joint function.
Celadrin® can be combined with Glucosamine for synergistic dual action benefits in joint health. It is widely suitable for anyone suffering with joint discomfort; athletes and elderly alike, and a natural alternative to NSAIDs.
At Hellenia we stock Celadrin® in both cream and capsule formula. We recommend 3 capsules per day, so each pack will give you a one month supply. The cream can be rubbed directly into sore and aching joints twice a day for fast relief. Both oral and topical applications have been shown to be suitable and effective in studies.
