Beat Joint Discomfort with CUCUMBERS?

In clinical studies, this special cucumber extract reduced joint discomfort by a whopping 70%. It worked better than glucosamine-chondroitin. And it blocks the nasty enzymes that destroy your cartilage.

Cucumbers? Are you kidding? That’s the reaction I get when I tell my patients the news. Because you may not think the lowly cucumber packs much of a medicinal punch. But what you may not know is that a special type of cucumber has been used as medicine for over 3,000 years.

Roman doctors used it as far back as 77 B.C. to relieve insect bites. Cleopatra used it on her eyes to fight inflammation and puffiness. Christopher Columbus brought it on board his ships to keep his crew healthy.

And when modern-day scientists looked at this special type of cucumber, they were surprised, too. They found it contains 73 different compounds with powerful antioxidant and soothing action.

Yet what really caught their eye was what these special compounds do for joint discomfort. They first noticed it in animal studies. Researchers took a group of animals that had discomfort in their paws. They gave some of the animals these special cucumber compounds. Result?

The compounds reduced swelling and inflammation by up to 72%. And in as little as 2 hours!
