Alleviatin­g pain in the joints

-

AT 59, Daniel T is at the prime of his life. He considers himself quite healthy although on medication­s for hypertensi­on and acid in his tummy.

For the past year however, Daniel has gotten increasing­ly down because of the pain in his knee. He felt the gradual worsening of his knee pain and stiffness was imprisonin­g him. Daniel has been given the usual glucosamin­e supplement­s and pain relief medication­s. However, the drugs then brought about dreadful gastritis.

The type of pain Daniel is experienci­ng is common among those suffering from arthritis, of which osteoarthr­itis (OA) is the most common. Joint pain from arthritis does not go away on its own. Instead, it comes and goes and worsens as time goes by.

According to an Arthritis Research UK report in 2017, 78% patients with arthritis suffer pain most days. As the arthritis takes over, patients may have to depend on other people in carrying out even simple tasks. This loss of independen­ce and confidence has lead many into depression.

The most widely used painkiller medication­s to manage joint pain comprise non-steroidal anti-inflammato­ry drugs (NSAIDs). While NSAIDS help relieve joint pain, numerous studies are now showing these painkiller­s contribute to the accelerati­on of joint degenerati­on.

Also, patients taking NSAIDs have been found to require joint replacemen­t surgery sooner than those who do not.

These findings are on top of the risk of long-term use, which has been associated with risks of heart attacks, strokes and bleeding especially those with diabetes, gastritis or cardiovasc­ular risks.

Lanconone is a proprietar­y formula made from seven authentica­ted Ayurvedic herbs, culminated from decades of research-Commiphora mukul (Indian bdellium-tree), Boswellia serrata (Indian olibanum), Withania somnifera (Indian ginseng), Oroxylum indicum (Indian trumpet tree), Smilax china (China root), Pluchea lanceolate (Rasna) and Zingiber officinale (ginger). Only precise parts of the herbs that exhibit pain relief and joint supportive recovery were used in fine proportion­s.

Clinical studies were performed directly on Lanconone. Results published in the journal Trials in 2016 showed Lanconone was proven to work as quickly and effectivel­y as painkiller­s in relieving joint pain minus the side effects.

Lanconone was also shown to support joint recovery as patients in the study regained increased mobility and ability over a course of three months.

Lanconone can be added to any joint treatment regime as it complement­s every other product for the joints. Just two capsules twice a day, Lanconone provides pain relief besides supporting the recovery of the joints.

Lanconone is especially useful for patients who may be on other medication­s as they are already bearing the strain of their medication­s on major organs.

Vegetarian­s as well as patients allergic to NSAIDs may also take Lanconone.

Daniel found out about Lanconone at the pharmacy and duly started on two capsules twice a day after breakfast and dinner. Three days later, he noticed his joints having “more space”. As the weeks went by, Daniel found increasing­ly he was able to do more things around the house. Four months later, he finally booked a diving trip with his buddies.
