Arthritis is a term that covers many
types of joint diseases. Osteoarthritis
and Rheumatoid Arthritis are the most common.
Those who suffer from arthritis will yearn for freedom from pain and freedom to walk and move with ease. Joint Ease contains 100% pure Harpagophytum Procumbens, also known as 'Sengaparile' , 'Devil's Claw' or 'Duiwelsklou', because of the claw-like shape of its fruit. For thousands of years, the Khoisan people of the Kalahari Desert (in Southern Africa) have used Devil's Claw to treat painful joint conditions and other health problems.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Devil's Claw in treating joint conditions like osteo-arthritis, fibrositis, rheumatism and small joint disease, (Lecompte & Costa, 1992) and it has also been scientifically proven to assist in the treatment of lower backache (Chrubasik, 1996). In a study by Brady et al, (1981), serum cholestol and uric acid levels were shown to be reduced after treatment with Devil's Claw.
