Watkins Liniment to the MAX
- Don't rub it in, take it with water! Glucosamine,
boswellia, curcumin and whole grape extracts work together to
keep joints strong and healthy - and you feeling
young!
Healthy joints and connective tissues are
vitally important to one’s well-being. Unhealthy,
malfunctioning joints and tissues result in sore and stiff
joints, which can keep one from exercising or simply enjoying
life. We like to say that Watkins has gone from Liniment to
Linimax - the Liniments help to ease pain from the outside,
and the Linimax provides relief from the inside!
Watkins Linimax:
Alternative to Vioxx
On Thursday, September 30,
2004, Merck & Company Pharmaceuticals announced a
worldwide recall of Vioxx, a top-selling arthritis and pain
medication drug. This recall was based on evidence that showed
an increased risk of heart attack and stroke after 18 months
of use. Millions of people take either Vioxx or a similar
drug, Celebrex, for relief of arthritis pain. Although there
is no recall on Celebrex at this time, its similarity to Vioxx
has raised concerns among health professionals and
patients.

Watkins Linimax® contains
Glucosamine. For over 25 years, physicians around the
world have prescribed glucosamine for joint
discomfort. |
Those who depended on Vioxx
for pain relief will now be looking for an alternative, and Watkins
can help! Watkins Linimax contains glucosamine, a natural
compound found in the body that stimulates the production of
cartilage and inhibits its breakdown, resulting in less joint
discomfort and swelling, and greater movement and joint
flexibility. For over 25 years, physicians around the world
have prescribed glucosamine for joint discomfort for one
simple reason: People who take it feel better, and experience
no side effects. Watkins Linimax contains the purest form of
glucosamine, along with other natural soothing and protective
ingredients, including antioxidants from whole grape extract,
along with ginger, boswellia and curcumin, shown to reduce the
body's production of pain-causing compounds.*
Watkins Linimax™ provides
nutritional support for optimum functioning of joints, tendons
and ligaments.* Contains natural compounds found to help
support healthy connective tissues—no shark cartilage.*
Watkins Linimax
offers:
- Glucosamine: A natural compound
that has been studied extensively for its ability to improve
joint function. Glucosamine is the fundamental building
block of cartilage, tendon, ligament and other connective
tissues. European studies on glucosamine found it to be
unsurpassed in promoting joint health, for which this
natural product is actually prescribed as a drug in
Germany.*
- Glucosamine
Hydrochloride : Most
glucosamine supplements use glucosamine sulfate, which is
only 74% pure because it must be stabilized with a salt;
Watkins uses glucosamine hydrochloride, a highly stable
compound with a purity of 99%. Based on this purity and on
the relative molecular weights of the compounds, glucosamine
hydrochloride delivers 81.3% active glucosamine, while the
sulfate supplies only 47.8%. The result is that 1,500 mg of
glucosamine hydrochloride does the work of 2,608 mg of the
sulfate.
- Boswellia Extract : An herb
extract which helps to fight the body’s production of
pain-causing leukotrienes, compounds which are released as a
result of inflammation.*
- Curcumin: A bio-active compound
derived from turmeric, a spice found in Watkins Curry
Powder. Like Boswellia, this substance helps inhibit
leukotrienes which cause pain.*
- Whole Grape Extract : Contains
powerful antioxidants from grape seeds and skins. These
compounds help fight free radical damage that can lead to
accelerated joint wear and tear.*
- Watkins Bio-Activator™
Blend
(Black Pepper and Ginger): Scientific studies strongly
suggest that black pepper and ginger may help to protect and
maximize the potency of vitamins and nutrients in the
body.*

Here are some personal
testimonials of how Linimax is helping people lead more
active, enjoyable lives (results may
vary from person to person).
“I’ve had joint aches
and pains for over 20 years and was taking daily doses of pain
relievers. After taking Watkins Linimax™, the pain is gone,
and I no longer have to take pain relievers. I’ll use Linimax™
forever!”
... Fran Daisy, New
Jersey
“You cannot imagine how taking
Watkins Linimax™ has changed my life. I had been suffering
from osteoarthritis, and the pain, stiffness and mobility
problems had been increasing for several years. At the time it
was necessary to use a cane. I had been taking medications and
glucosamine products from other companies, which provided
minimal relief at best. When I became a Watkins Associate and
changed to Linimax™, the transformation was incredible! I am
virtually pain-free and walk at a fast pace at least 2 miles
every other day. Thank you, Watkins!”
... Norma Frampton,
New York
“Watkins Linimax™ has changed my
life. It used to be a real effort and challenge to get out of
bed in the morning, and if I sat on a chair for a half hour or
so my joints would be very sore and stiff. After taking
Linimax™, I can practically do cartwheels after I “jump” out
of bed. No more pain! It’s such a passion with me I actually
get tears in my eyes when I tell people my story of how it has
changed my life. Thanks, Watkins, for such a wonderful product
and the opportunity to share it with others!”
... Ruby Kiihn,
Minnesota
“My daughter and I have both had
great results from using Watkins Linimax™: My rheumatologist
stopped the NSAIDs, as the results from using Linimax™ were
much better, and my daughter was told by a new neurologist
that she had the beginning of Fibromyalgia and to take
“Linimax™.” This doctor had no idea I was a Watkins Associate,
but I guess news travels fast when something really
works.”
... Charlene Forde,
Minnesota
“I have fibromyalgia, and since
using Watkins Linimax™, it has helped me function almost
normally again. It has reduced my muscle pain, fatigue, and
the flair ups don’t come as often. I don’t plan on ever living
without Linimax™.
... Rebecca Metcalf,
Michigan
“I have been suffering with pain in
my hips for years and had been seeing a chiropractor with no
relief. I started taking Linimax™ and didn’t even realize my
pain was gone until I ran out of Linimax™ for a couple of days
and the pain came right back. Thanks, Watkins, for a good
night’s sleep.”

Wisconsin
