Additional Product Details
Joint Advantage Gold Ā® 5X quickly relieves everyday joint discomfort
Joint Advantage Gold 5X gives you fast relief from joint discomfort and works to support healthy joints. It combines clinically researched AprĆØsFlexĀ®, NEMĀ® eggshell membrane, glucosamine, and a proprietary blend of herbs and enzymes to provide everyday relief.
Fast, clinically researched natural joint soother
No more waiting weeks or months for soothing relief. AprĆØsFlex, the superstar of Joint Advantage Gold 5X, is clinically shown to alleviate joint discomfort and stiffnessāstarting in as little as 7 days.
AprĆØsFlex is the next generation of Boswellia serrata extract. It works faster and better than anything Dr. Williams investigated. Years ago during Dr. Williams' travels to India, he learned that the gum resin from the boswellia tree has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years to soothe joints.
The problem is the standard form of boswellia is poorly absorbed by your bloodstream because it contains a glycoprotein (P-gp) that acts as a barrier. But, for AprĆØsFlex, the extract is enriched with an additional blend of natural compounds from the boswellia tree, which inhibit the glycoprotein and significantly improve absorption.
Clinical research shows reduction in discomfort and stiffness
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 59 subjects with stiff, achy joints took 100 mg of AprĆØsFlex or a placebo daily for 30 days. Three tests were used to measure discomfort, stiffness, and physical functionāand in all 3, AprĆØsFlex came out on top.
- In a measure of joint discomfort, AprĆØsFlex showed a 14.8% better reduction than the placebo starting in just 5 days.
- In a measure of daily functions hindered by discomfort, AprĆØsFlex showed a 16.3% better reduction starting in just 5 days.
- And after 30 days, those taking AprĆØsFlex reported a 40.1% improvement in joint comfort, a 41.3% improvement in stiffness, and a 38.8% improvement in functional ability.
Plus, Joint Advantage Gold 5X delivers even MORE powerful ingredients
- Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine is one of the most recognized ingredients for joint support. Dr. Williams recommends taking 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate daily and thatās exactly what you get in Joint Advantage Gold 5X. - NEM natural eggshell membrane
One of Dr. Williamsā classic home remedies that heās been recommending for years is to use eggshells in a broth that you can make in your own kitchen. Thatās because eggshells and the delicate membranes that line them contain joint-friendly ingredients. When put to the test, 500 mg daily helps relieve everyday joint aches and stiffness, including a decrease in discomfort. Thatās the exact amount you get in Joint Advantage Gold 5X. - Traditional Exotic Botanicals
Dr. Williams has traveled to Australia, Europe, and many other places researching traditionally used herbs. Wild rosella, devilās claw, white willow, feverfew, celery seed, bromelain, and papaya are ones heās been recommending for almost 2 decades.
Joint Advantage Gold 5X combines the tried-and-true joint supporters that Dr. Williams has discovered over the years to target everyday joint concerns: inflammatory markers; stiff, achy joints; flexibility and mobility. Taking Joint Advantage Gold 5X every day will help you stay active and independent.

AprĆØsFlexĀ®
In laboratory animal studies, AprĆØsFlex showed 51.78% greater absorption of AKBA, which is an active compound that inhibits the inflammatory pathways, compared to another popular boswellia product.1 In fact, AprĆØsFlex was 21% more effective than the leading boswellia extract at reducing the 5-LOX enzyme that contributes to the body's inflammatory response. Plus, AprĆØsFlex was shown to reduce the level of 5 of the body's top inflammatory markers.
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 59 subjects with stiff, achy joints took 100 mg of AprĆØsFlex or a placebo daily for 30 days. Three tests were used to measure discomfort, stiffness, and physical functionāand in all 3, AprĆØsFlex came out on top.2
