Anti inflammatory supplements are very useful to arthritis sufferers. If you need a pharmaceutical-grade quality arthritis supplement, this may be it.

UPDATED: March 28th, 2024. Due to Dishonest Business Practices, I No Longer Recommend Xtend-Life’s Products or The Company.

The product reviewed in this article is Xtend-Life’s Not Just Joints product. This is a review on Xtend-Life’s anti inflammatory supplements or arthritis supplements. Before we get on with this review, it should be noted that Xtend-Life Not Just Joints used to be named Xtend-Life Arthrit-Eze but was re-named effective January 2013. It is otherwise the same exact product. Just the name has been changed.

This product is an all-natural, pharmaceutical-grade quality arthritis supplement devoid of the side effects that are so notorious with pharmaceutical drugs.

As you know, pharmaceutical drugs are very expensive and they are often riddled with terrible side effects, some of which are worse than the health problem they’re supposed to cure. Many have become increasingly frustrated with drugs and it’s understandable.

Many are turning to alternative medicine as an option. If that sounds odd to you, consider this — it’s America that is behind the rest of the world in their usage and acceptance of alternative and herbal medicine and natural supplements. In Australia, for example, 57% of respondents in a poll said they prefer alternative medicine to traditional western medicine (allopathic).

In Germany and Austria, the herb ginkgo biloba is actually prescribed by traditionally-trained doctors. But not in the US where Big Pharma and the medical establishment yield enormous power.

I’ve often thought, “What if one could have the best of both alternative and allopathic medicine? That would be ideal.” To that end, I’ve spent my life reading and studying all I could to find the best vitamins, medicinal herbs, medicinal spices, and exercise “secrets” for myself as a health enthusiast.

That brings me to this review. I’ve been using Xtend-Life supplements since May 2004. While I am a keen advocate of alternative and herbal medicine (I am actually the webmaster of one of the most popular health sites on the Internet, CayennePepper.info), I also know the value of clinical research and product testing.

I learned that all of Xtend-Life’s products are actually high-grade quality supplements. They combine the rigorous clinical demands of good manufacturing policies such as cGMP with the innovation and open-mindedness of alternative medicine.

That combination of clinical research, testing, and exacting manufacturing standards and alternative medicine’s approach are the foundation of Not Just Joints and every other product produced by Xtend-Life.

Anti Inflammatory Supplements: Core Not Just Joints Product Info

Not Just Joints is made up of 33 core ingredients. The most notable are:

  • Glucosamine hydrochloride
  • Glucosamine sulfate
  • Turmeric extractturmeric root
  • Chasteberry extract
  • SAMe
  • Cetyl Myristoleate
  • Celery Extract
  • Phellodendron Bark

Turmeric is a medicinal spice and teeming with health benefits and Chasteberry is a medicinal herb. Glucosamine is clinically proven to help relieve inflammation native to arthritis sufferers.

The last four in the above list are especially notable due to the raw ingredients high cost in and the difficulty of proper formulation into a tablet. That said, a problem that Xtend-Life seems to have solved with their formulation, and that of the other Not Just Joints ingredients, is the prevention of the ingredients’ nutrients destruction in the harsh digestive environment of the stomach.

Most health vitamin or supplement’s nutrients are destroyed by the stomach acids and that is why one may notice the next time they urinate after taking a vitamin supplement that the urine color is a deeper hue of yellow.

As Xtend-Life uses enteric coating on the tablets, the nutrients (especially SAMe and Cetyl Myristoleate) are protected. Then, when the nutrients pass to the upper intestine (the duodenum), they are safely released and passed into the bloodstream.

In fact, Xtend Life guarantees that 80% of the tablets’ nutrients are preserved and assimilated by the body. A stellar claim indeed.

What Can Just for Joints Do? Are They Anti-Inflammatory Supplements?

Not Just Joints is a pharmaceutical-grade quality arthritis supplement that may provide relief and rejuvenation for all 100 forms of arthritis — and it will do so safely, naturally and without the negative side effects inherent to most pharmaceutical drugs.

Some of the health benefit specifics Not Just Joints claims to do are:

  • Improve your joint health to normal functionality.
  • Restore cartilage and Glutathione depletion. This means it can reverse your arthritic condition.
  • Increase your joint mobility. This is self-explanatory.
  • Reduce your joints’ inflammation, swelling (edema) and stiffness. These three are the most associated results of arthritis so their reduction is “just what the doctor ordered.”
  • Not just protect but restore affected joints to a healthy condition.
  • Increase your overall immune system strength for better general health.

What You Get When You Buy Not Just Joints

Each bottle of Not Just Joints contains 90 enteric-coated tablets, which is a two-week supply if you take the recommended 6 tablets per day.

How Much Does It Cost?

Not Just Joints sells for $42.50 USD per bottle. If your order totals $60 or over, you get free shipping no matter where you are in the world. For orders under $60 USD, they charge a flat $6.50 fee.

Does It Have It Have a Guarantee?

All of Xtend-Life’s supplement products, including Not Just Joints, come with a one-year, money-back guarantee. If you’re unhappy with your product in any way, they offer you a full refund or a product replacement. To the best of my knowledge, no other supplement company in the world offers such a guarantee.

Secure online shopping is also important and Xtend-Life seems to understand this. They’ve implemented an

Lastly, they have a TRUSTe Safe Shopping certificate, which certificate validates Xtend-Life’s Privacy Policy and website with protecting your personal and buying information.

Consumer Reviews — What Others Are Saying

Not Just Joints is a well received product judging from the many testimonials for it. It’s received praise from all around the globe, too.

Below are a few of the testimonials.

I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis coming on fast and have recently purchased Total Balance, Not Just Joints and Omega 3. I have to say that since starting on the recommended regime on Saturday I am now feeling absolutely wonderful with no pain in my hands from the osteo and the fibromyalgia has also gone into remission hopefully permanently. This may be a little too much to ask but I will keep you posted when I re-order. I can’t tell you have thankful I am for your help especially Joanna for recommending these products. I am now able to exercise regularly and also live a normal life. Long may it last!!

I just wanted you to know that since I’ve been taking your Arthritis formula I’ve been completely without pain in my knees. This is amazing. I’ve now recommended this product as well as your vitamins to any friends who have arthritis. Thank you for the care you put into delivering excellent products.
Joan, USA

I began taking Women’s Total Balance, Omega 3, and Not Just Joints as well as using the skin care. From the use of these products, now for just one month, the specific pain I was having in specific joints has gone, the plantar fasciaitis pain in my left foot has gone (after dealing with it over a year, cortisone shots, and many doctor visits), the texture and tone of my skin has completely transformed, my mood, anxiety level and hormonal symptoms have lessened, I’m sleeping more soundly and I just see and feel these products working. Needless to say, the specific reasons I purchased these products have been addressed and then some!!

I will stop trying to figure out what might be wrong in these products and now appreciate them for what is right. I look forward to continued use and improvement and I thank you for your straight forward approach in offering these worldwide.

What Are The Negatives About Xtend-Life Not Just Joints?

This is a very well received product by the public. It sells very well in America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, and the United Kingdom. It’s also getting a foothold in non-English speaking European countries as well.

One negative the product has for some is that it does contain ingredients that are derived from shellfish and soy. It has 500 milligrams (mg) of Glucosamine sulfate, which is synthesized from Crustacean shell. It also has 100 mg of green lipped mussel powder as well. So, if you have a shellfish allergy, you shouldn’t take it.

It does not contain any dairy, gluten or peanut byproducts, however.

Another negative for some is Not Just Joints’ price. Its $39.85 price for one bottle seems steep. However, when compared to pharmaceutical drugs, which can cost literally $125 to $200 per bottle, its price isn’t bad at all.

It would undoubtedly be more expensive if it weren’t sold directly from the Xtend-Life company itself as well. Another contributing factor to its cost is that it literally is a pharmaceutical-grade quality product.

In New Zealand where the Not Just Joints supplement is made, vitamin manufacturers are overseen and regulated by their government’s equivalent of the FDA. Thus, Xtend-Life’s products actually not only meet FDA standards but the rigorous standards of British Pharmacopoeia.

That’s why Not Just Joints is more expensive than traditional arthritis supplements.

Where Can I Buy It?

Xtend-Life Not Just JointsXtend-Life Not Just Joints is only sold over the internet directly from the manufacturer. You can buy it here. However, I don’t recommend this product, its company, or its other products. The company engages in dishonest business practices.

But you are free to choose. I hope this article review about Xtend-Life Not Just Joints has been useful to you.
