New Ingredient Combination with Landmark Clinical Studies

For decades the joint health industry had seen little new and novel innovation...
until now.

Introducing Tamasteen, something entirely new and different to hit the joint health market, utilizing a more comprehensive approach to joint health, with benefits that users truly feel.

Using smart innovation, and outside the box thinking, Nordic Healthy Living developed a new ingredient extract from Tamarind Seeds, and synergically combined it with full-spectrum Turmeric Root, and the joint protective antioxidant powerhouse Mangosteen, to make a new compound called Tamasteen.

All of the ingredients are well known in Southeast Asia with a long history of use in Ayurvedic Medicine. Each working in a different cellular pathway in the body to ease inflammation and reduce stiffness.

Now Tamasteen isn’t just any combination of these ingredients. The three botanical ingredients are processed to isolate specific compounds, in a specific ratio, from each plant to match the precise combination that was shown to have such significant effects in the clinical trial.

And those effects were so significant that the ingredient combination in Tamasteen received a U.S. patent for reducing inflammation, slowing joint collagen breakdown and improving overall joint function.

Tamasteen provides a safe, natural and highly effective solution for anyone seeking to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle as they age. Whether you’re an athlete and pushing yourself on the field or in the gym, or a grandparent who just wants to be able to chase the grandkids, with Tamasteen you now have added confidence and support to take on physical challenges and move with less joint discomforts and soreness, and more flexibility.

Tamasteen is a unique new botanical joint health compound that provides both short term relief (in just 5 days) and longer-term effectiveness, with benefits that continue to build over time, as demonstrated in an 8-week clinical trial.

Here’s a short list of some of the key joint health benefits* Tamasteen may help provide:

* Per 8-week clinical trial results

  • Helps improve joint comfort and functional performance (in as little as 5 days)

  • Helps increase walking distance, Help you walk faster and farther

  • Helps improve functional performance in climbing up and down stairs

  • Supports an increased range of motion in the joint and joint cartilage health

  • Helps improve joint flexibility and function

  • Helps improve joint stiffness, comfort, and soothe soreness

Tamasteen® Clinical Study in Patients with Mild Joint Discomfort

Study Parameters:

Researchers studied how 300 mg Tamasteen affected pain, stiffness and various aspects of joint function following exercise in 81 male and female participants (55% men/45% women; ages of 40 and 70 years old; average age 53) over 56 days.

The, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study used the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scale, one of the most widely used measures of lower extremity symptoms and function, to assess change. It includes items divided into three categories: pain, stiffness, and physical function.

The subjects in the study were diagnosed with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA) in radiographic examinations and had moderate knee pain ranging between 40 and 70mm on a VAS scale. They were randomized for the baseline visit with three follow-up visits at days 5, 28, and 56 where the WOMAC self-assessment test was used as the primary efficacy measure.

Study Results:

Introducing Tamasteen, something entirely new and different to hit the joint health market, utilizing a more comprehensive approach to joint health, with benefits that users truly feel.

Using smart innovation, and outside the box thinking, Nordic Healthy Living developed a new ingredient extract from Tamarind Seeds, and synergically combined it with full-spectrum Turmeric Root, and the joint protective antioxidant powerhouse Mangosteen, to make a new compound called Tamasteen.

Tamasteen subjects experienced a 25% reduction in 5 days in WOMAC pain scale and a 64% improvement in 56 days. until now.

A 53% reduction in WOMAC stiffness scale was experienced by Tamasteen subjects in that same 56 days period
 

East Meets West The Tamasteen Development Story

It Started with Bone Health

In 2004, after years of research and development, a group of now famous nutraceutical and pharma researchers, based out of Norway, launched new, novel ingredients that changed the world when it comes to aging and bone health.

Saving countless lives in Norway’s aging population and across the globe. Enabling people to help better prevent weak bones and other serious bone health issues, when in the past there was not such prevention available.

A decade later they set out to do the same for joint health around the world, leading to the development of Tamasteen.

Better Solution for Nagging Joints

Years before a US Patent was awarded for Tamasteen’s ingredients, Norwegian led doctors and researchers set out on their mission. A mission to develop a synergistic combination of effective ingredients for aging joints that would perform better than what was currently out there - something that would change the joint health market forever. Something that could help provide both fast and lasting relief for aging joints!

The search was on... recognizing that so many of the top joint support ingredients came out of Southeast Asia, the development group of traveled to India to work with top Ayurvedic Medicine experts, experienced with natural botanical ingredients. The researchers needed to understand just how certain southeast Asian spices and herbal extracts were able to have such profound effects on aging joints.

If you have not heard
of Ayurvedic Medicine...

It is a medical system that has been used in India for thousands of years using herbal medicine and other techniques to cleanse, restore and promote health and balance to the body

Modern India: Ancient Medicine - Western Validation

The Norwegians partnered with a nutraceutical group in India that not only had some of India’s top Aruveydic experts on their staff, but they also were very committed to western validation of efficacy through double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials. A deal was signed and the 5-year project began.

With joint health issues on the rise around the world, the Norwegian researchers were looking to develop a more comprehensive joint health solution than what was currently being offered.

From prior research, they realized that many Aruveydic natural ingredients were effective at dealing with inflammation in the body, using different pathways to keep it in a healthy range. Levels of inflammation are very important to measure because it tends to manifest first in your joints, brought on by an active lifestyle or poor diet, and a number of causes.

Over a Thousand Herbs

The process began looking at over 1000 herbs through screening process in the lab. The primary form of screening was looking for and measuring key biomarkers related directly to inflammation, looking for compounds that...

  1. Were the best inflammation reducers – keeping it in a healthy region
  2. Provided the most antioxidant support for joints
  3. Had the best protective properties for long term joint health

This meant measuring key biomarkers for each, looking for the ones that demonstrated the best ability to reduce joint inflammation, slow the degradation of joint cartilage and support healthy synovial fluid (the fluid that lubricates your joints).

For the Fast-Acting Part Turmeric was Selected Early On

Selecting turmeric to be part of the botanical blend was not a surprise, given the amount of clinical evidence around one of its primary actives called curcumin. However, the surprise came when it was discovered that one “type” of turmeric extract, that one that went beyond just curcumin alone, was shown to be the most effective.

The popular turmeric extracts at the time primarily focused on isolating curcumin. Though effective, there were now full-spectrum turmeric extracts that included curcumin plus many other powerful inflammation-fighting turmeric actives as well. The full-spectrum turmeric was shown to be more bioactive and effective in the body.

Turmeric’s primary pathway to joint health, the COX pathway, is more fast-acting and provides quicker relief. Now this is great, and it’s an important part of a comprehensive joint health solution product, but fast acting also means short-lived. The researchers also needed something that may not be as fast-acting, but would instead provide longer-relief through other pathways in the body.

The Secret Behind Tamasteen’s Effectiveness – Tamarind Seed Extract

It was the next ingredient selected for Tamasteen that really surprised the Norwegian researchers... this was totally unexpected. An herbal extract that was not even on their radar, something they knew nothing about. Something was not marketed in the West for joint health, but in India was a very popular food – tamarind seeds.

The Indian Aruvedic experts at the time had been studying tamarind and were working hard at isolating and developing an extract from tamarind seeds. You see in many of the villages throughout rural India the local people ground up and used Tamarind seeds to make bread (instead of wheat) and other food staples. They also snacked on the seeds through the day.

And the results of this dietary staple showed on the population, especially older people. Everywhere you looked older people that were out-and-about and active, with great joints and low inflammation into old age. There was something special, something magical in those tamarind seeds!

In the lab they uncovered the secret in those seeds. They discovered that seeds were rich in something called “proanthocyanins”, a type of strong antioxidant known as PACs. And the extract from of the seeds promoted joint health in ways that were very different than other natural ingredients. They worked through multiple pathways, but mainly through one particular pathway in the body called 5-LOX.

Long-Term Relief from a Natural Ingredient!

Now the 5-LOX pathway (acting as 5-LOX Inhibitor) takes longer for to feel, but the difference with this pathway is the benefits stay with you much, much longer. Weeks of support, not hours like COX pathway (COX Inhibitor) products.

After this discovery in the lab, the team set out to develop the first of its kind process to produce a powerful, concentrated Tamarind Seed extract for use in a dietary supplement. A first of its kind extract to provide the same joint health benefits the Indian villagers were experiencing for ages.

Powerful Joint Protective Properties – Added Antioxidant Protection from “Mangosteen”

When it comes to aging joints, protecting them from free radical damage is critical. The researchers a potent joint protective ingredient to complete Tamasteen. They were directed to look at a unique Southeast Asian fruit called Mangosteen, something difficult to get most of the year in the U.S.

Mangosteen is a small, purple-skinned fruit with a hard outer skin and sweet, white, juicy flesh. People describe its taste as a mix of peach, strawberry, and pineapple. An antioxidant powerhouse, Mangosteen is rich in a special joint health protective antioxidant compound called Xantones.

Mangosteen was added to the other two ingredients and next step was to put this three botanical “superfood” combination to the test. Months later formal proof of efficacy was confirmed in a landmark double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Your joints are constantly
under attack...

By something called Free Radicals that your body generates in response to everything from unhealthy things in your diet, air pollution, tobacco smoke and more... even age!

You need enough Antioxidants each day to counter Free Radicals in your joints and disarm them to slow joint aging and breakdown.

Mission Accomplished

Five years of work, that began with screening over a thousand plants looking for actives, and they had their product. Tamasteen not only helps mediate both the COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways, it also helps protect joint integrity - promoting the health of cartilage, connective tissues and synovial joint fluids.

Tamasteen provides something that can help provide relief to nagging joint aches and discomforts, and may help promote a healthier joint overtime... helping to protect joints it against future damage. The perfect daily joint health supplement ingredient.
