A nutritional supplement to strengthen the immune system, consisting of Chinese herbs specifically selected to benefit the body’s bones, muscles and sinew.

A blend of Chinese herbs consisting of concentrated herbal extracts of Teasel Root, Eucommia, Drynario Tuber, Thorowax Root, Morinda Root, Liquidambar, White Peony, and Licorice Root. These eight herbs work synergistically to create an exceptional formulation to support the body’s musculoskeletal system. Each herb was chosen for the following characteristics:

• Teasel Root is known to promote the healing of fractured bones and tendons, and also promotes the regeneration of tissues and muscles. The vitamin E in Teasel Root helps decrease wound healing time.

• Eucommia is known to strengthen and nourish bones, muscles, sinew and cartilage. Also known as a health tonic with analgesic qualities. The vitamin C in Eucommia aids in the formation and maintenance of tendon and bursal tissues.

• Drynaria Tuber is used to control bleeding, improve circulation, strengthen tendons, treat painful joints, and help heal wounds from broken bones.

• Thorowax Root is known as an analgesic, antipyretic and antibacterial. It is also known to strengthen limbs, and is especially helpful in toning up the leg muscles.

• Morinda Root is known to strengthen and nourish muscles, bones and sinew. It has biological effects resembling those of cortical hormones. Its vitamin C content helps build new connective tissue and strengthen the blood vessels..

• Liquidambar aids blood circulation, helps wounds heal, and is known as a hemostatic and an analgesic.

• White Peony is used for painful systremma (charley horse of the calf), muscular tension and aches and pains. It also promotes blood circulation and helps replenish body fluids. The major active component, paeoniflorin, is known for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, tranquilizing and antispasmodic activity.

• Licorice Root promotes wound healing and stimulates production of interferon. It contains glycyrrhizin which encourages production of hormones such as hydrocortisone which gives it an anti-inflammatory quality. Licorice is included in many formulations to help harmonize and prolong the effects of the various components.

Anyone who are physically active and desire quick recovery response, or individuals suffering from skeletal and/or muscular injuries.

The musculoskeletal system consists of the body’s bones, joints, and muscles. Also included as part of this system are the cartilage; tendons or sinew, the connective tissues that attach the muscles to bones, and ligaments, the tissues that support and strengthen joints.

During physical activity injuries can and do occur. Injuries can range from the minor bump or bruise to the more serious torn ligament or broken bone. A bruise is an injury caused by impact without breakage of the skin and is due to blood in the tissues from a ruptured blood vessel. A sprain is the wrenching of a joint with partial rupture of its ligaments. A strain is over-stretching or overexertion of the musculature. Pain is a symptom of an underlying problem. Pulled muscles and/or strained tendons require restricted movement in order to heal, and pain is the reminder to restrict movement.

Generally, Bones & Muscles helps strengthen and nourish the bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. In addition, in the event of injury, it helps repair the damage of injury and provides symptomatic relief with some herbs acting as muscle relaxants, others as anti-inflammatories, anti-bacterials, and anti-spasmodics. The net result of the herbal activities is decreased wound healing time.

Specifically for severe bruises, sprains, swelling and inflammation from traumatic injuries, Bones & Muscles helps stimulate the blood circulation breaking up stagnation and breaking down the red blood cells in bruising. It also helps reduce swelling and promotes rapid healing. For torn or strained tendons, Bones & Muscles encourages cell regrowth in connective tissue, while also providing pain relief and anti-inflammatory action.

For broken bones, Bones & Muscles nourishes and strengthens the bones. It also helps in the formation and maintenance of collagen, a main supportive protein of tendon, bone cartilage and connective tissue, while also offering analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-spasmodic activity.
