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."
