Celadrin is a proprietary blend of the necessary essential fatty acids shown to help improve function and reduce pain for people struggling with aches and discomforts resulting from arthritis. Celadrin balances fats that contribute to pro-inflammatory responses with fats that are associated with anti-inflammatory agents. It also inhibits destructive enzymes that cause inflammation. The "wear and tear" seen in osteo-arthritis is actually due to excess action of proteolytic enzymes that break down tissue.
Celadrin, made with a proprietary process of esterifying oils, is an all natural ingredient scientifically reported to reduce inflammation and pain with no side effects. Published twice in the internationally acclaimed Journal of Rheumatology, Celadrin provides youthful cell fluidity and elasticity, facilitates cushioning of bones and joints and provides cumulative and restorative benefits.
Glucosamine is made in the body and is also commercially available as a natural ingredient extracted from a carbohydrate in crustacean shells. Regular use helps maintain lubricating fluid in joints, promotes flexibility, range of motion and comfortable joint function and provides a natural building block of healthy cartilage.

GiGi and I truly hope that this information will help you in some way. If you read all the information, it would be hard to find someone that could not benefit from this product.
We believe that if it can help us, we should let people know about it... there's too many walking around suffering from sort of illness, disease, or pain - on a daily basis - to not to share what we know.
Thank you for taking the time to visit the site and reading the information I have provided here. If you would like to read more (articles in the news, additional information), the link to my MonaVie website is below.
If you should decide that you want to try this product, you can purchase it directly from the site, or you can also make your purchase in our store.
If you will be ordering 1 case (4 bottles) or more, I highly suggest that you consider signing up as a Distributor like I did... this will allow you to enjoy the benefit of buying all products at wholesale. The cost to sign up is only $39 (for the Distributor Kit), but after your fifth bottle (or sooner, depending on what you order) you will have saved more than that amount.
Lastly, if there is someone you think that would benefit from knowing about MonaVie, and you yourself do not want to approach them with the information, please let me know, I will be happy to at least give them the opportunity to learn about it.
Again, thanks for the time you've given to this very important matter.
