This system has been designed as a self-care tool for those who struggle with joint pain or osteoarthritis. The Insulite System for Healthy Joints has been constructed to address many of the factors that influence health in the various components that make up joints, including cartilage, ligaments, tendons, muscles, synovial fluid, synovial membrane, nerve cells, and others. The ultimate goal is to support increased mobility, reduced discomfort, improved social interaction, improved energy, and enhanced quality of life.

The Insulite System for Healthy Joints is a self-management system that is not designed to replace your physician nor conflict with the recommendations of your physician. Self-management systems are increasingly being recommended by doctors who do not have the time to implement or follow the day-to-day lifestyle needs of their patients with chronic health concerns. Our system is designed to offer the kind of support that augments the medical care you are receiving from your doctor, by offering lifestyle coaching with the aim that you might improve your quality of life.

Our program is best described as a quality of life program.

 

No. While losing weight, losing fat, and gaining muscle is one aim of this program, no stimulants have been added to the program to support this. 

Scientific research supports the fact that lasting change is brought about gradually. Many of the problems commonly linked to joints have developed over many years. Moreover, some components of joint tissue are slow to repair. For this reason, we recommend that you follow the guidelines of the Insulite System for Healthy Joints for at least six months. Most of our customers will need to stay on the system for at least one year. Keep in mind that we recommend your weight loss does not exceed ½ to 1 lb. per week. At the end of 6 months, we would like to evaluate your progress with you and make recommendations for a course of action based on that evaluation. Just email us to arrange a complimentary telephone consultation with our Medical & Advisory team.

Please do not be discouraged! Research shows that the rapid weight loss evident in most fad diets is almost immediately followed by rapid weight gain. Why? Because the body has a memory. If you have been overweight for some time, your body recognizes that weight as its normal state. When you lose weight quickly, the body does not have time to habituate. It sees the rapid weight loss as abnormal and, once a diet is stopped, it makes an effort to get back as quickly as possible to the normal retaining of fat. At Insulite Laboratories, we emphasize gradual weight loss so that the body can slowly adapt to a lighter weight as well as to eliminate the dreaded "rebound effect" of weight loss and gain. Insulite Laboratories wants you to be healthy for life, not thin for one event in your life. Because of the factors above, we recommend that you dedicate at least six months to the Insulite System for Healthy Joints.

 

We strongly urge you complete this form at each requested time point. This allows you to track your progress using a very well validated statistical tool. This form also allows the scientific/medical team at Insulite Labs to apply statistical methods to the data, which allows us to continually refine our program. No personal information accompanies your data. Our statisticians work only from numerical codes.

 

We strongly urge you complete this form at each requested time point. The WOMAC is one of the most widely used and strongly validated questionnaires for people with joint pain. Completing the WOMAC allows you to track your progress using a very well validated statistical tool. This form also allows the scientific/medical team at Insulite Labs to apply statistical methods to the data, which allows us to continually refine our program. No personal information accompanies your data. Our statisticians work only from numerical codes.

 

The SensitX and RejuvenX products are both to be taken 2 caps twice per day (4 caps of each per day). The GlucX product is designed to slow the absorption of sugar in the blood stream. It is recommended to take 3 caps twice per day between meals. The OmegaX product is recommended at 2 caps twice a day with food.

The total number of pills is greater than most programs because we at Insulite Laboratories know that there is no one pill that can affect the same type of changes as our system. In fact, you are changing numerous ways in which your body heals itself and these changes need to be supported with therapeutic doses of nutrients.

If you forget to take any of the supplements with breakfast or lunch, you can take that dose with dinner.

The Insulite System for Healthy Joints consists of lifestyle recommendations that are aimed at the individual taking active steps directed toward their own well-being. These are generally described as self-management or self-care systems. These are not under the auspices of the FDA. With regard to the nutritional supplement component, Congress has established the DSHEA regulation governing the manufacture, marketing, and sale of nutritional products to consumers. FDA does not have formal approval over such manufacture and sale. Therefore, the Insulite System for Healthy Joints has not been approved by the FDA.

Our supplements are manufactured using high-quality nutrients. Our manufacturer certifies the authenticity of all ingredients in our formulas. Additionally, research conducted by Insulite Laboratories confirms the safety of this formulation of nutrients. There are no toxicities to any ingredients in any of our formulas.

Yes, all of our supplements and functional foods are made in the USA.

They come from various sources. All flax seed is made from organic flax seeds sourced from the northern USA.

Most minerals, some extracts, and vitamins are sourced from an international source which is the industry standard.

Insulite Laboratories develops relationships only with reputable suppliers and manufacturers who maintain the highest standards of production and testing to ensure the purity and integrity of the ingredients. All products have a certificate of analysis from their source and each batch is individually tested for microbial limits (when applicable), purity, and heavy metals.

Our manufacturers are a cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) company that is fully compliant with the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations.

The FDA has recently released extensive new cGMP laws for dietary supplement manufacturers with a 2010 deadline for full compliance. Our manufacturer is on schedule to meet the new regulations in advance of the "comply by" date. They are inspected by the FDA and local/state health departments on a drop in basis. There have never been any complaints from these agencies.

Certificates of Analysis for the Insulite Systems' supplements are available for review by customers. Email us your name, email address, supplement name, i.e. GlucX and the Lot numbers stamped on the side of the bottles.

Two (2) years from date of production. Expiration dates are clearly marked on all Insulite Laboratories supplement bottles.

No, a prescription is not required. But we do recommend you discuss the program with your doctor.

Unfortunately, at this time, insurance companies do not recognize the use of nutritional supplements and rarely reimburse for them. Some companies do, in fact, reimburse their insured, but the vast majority do not. We anticipate that, in the future, our Insulite System for Healthy Joints will be adopted by medical providers and that the program will be used to support their patients with joint pain and osteoarthritis.

There are no ingredients in the formulas that have been shown to negatively impact blood pressure in clinical trials.  One aim of the whole system is to reduce weight, reduce body fat, regulate blood sugar, and regulate insulin. These are all factors known to favorably affect blood pressure. 

The diet and exercise guidelines are included in the price of the Insulite System for Healthy Joints. We do not sell the different elements individually, because the System was designed to work as a whole. Insulite Laboratories finds that the best results are achieved when combining all of the supplements with lifestyle changes.

Even if you already have a "good" diet and you exercise regularly, you will likely benefit from the suggestions offered in the Insulite System for Healthy Joints. Our diet and exercise guidelines were designed to enhance the effects of the System.

The outcome of your program is highly dependent upon how closely you adhere to the suggestions. Many people report feeling more energy and greater stamina. They have reported an improvement in focus and stamina as the day wears on. People also report a marked reduction in cravings for simple carbohydrates. Others report improved sleep. The degree of improvement can also depend upon the state of your joints, whether you’ve had joint surgery, or whether you have a history of joint injury. More severe forms of arthritis may not respond as well as will milder forms. However, many components of the program are likely to aid in reducing many inflammatory aspects found in sever joint problems, as well.

Yes. The nutrients in the System will not interfere with the oral birth control pill.

 

There are no products with gluten in any of our formulations. There is oat-fiber in one of the nutrient formulas called GLUCX and this product may, in a very small percentage of people who are sensitive to gluten, cause a reaction. This is a theoretical possibility so we do need to mention it. Most people with gluten sensitivity take our GLUCX formula without experiencing side effects. If you are gluten sensitive and perceive that you have had a side effect with this product, please let us know.

Excess weight is not the only negative force that affects joint inflammation. There are an array of influences that can cause joint irritation and joint pain. We recommend that you still comply with the diet, exercise, and nutrient supplementation to support healthy transformation of the inflammatory state to a healthier state. The Insulite System for Healthy Joints has components that address a number of the inflammatory elements common in joint discomfort.

 

Yes. However, we recommend that you are careful about watching your blood sugar levels for several weeks when first starting the Insulite System for Healthy Joints. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels 3-4 times per day, especially initially. The nutrients in this formula are effective at stabilizing blood sugar. The diet changes that we recommend require that people with hypoglycemia are vigilant about their blood sugar levels. Additionally, if you suffer from hypoglycemia, eat 5-6 small meals per day that are protein-based and decrease consumption of simple carbohydrates. Also, it is our recommendation that you contact your physician to make adjustments to your insulin levels if your blood sugar is consistently low after starting the Diabetes Advanced Management System.

Any decisions you make about medication must be done in consultation with your doctor. Published studies of people on osteoarthritis self-management programs report that individuals are often able to lower their use of anti-inflammatory medication. There are also studies of people consuming nutrient elements of this program, such as fatty acids, chondroitin sulfate, and others that report a reduction in use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Most doctors would agree that reducing the use of anti-inflammatory drugs is a wise goal. This includes recent guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American College of Rheumatology.

Any decisions you make about medication must be done in consultation with your doctor. If you decide to take glucophage (Metformin) while using the Insulite System for Healthy Joints, please make sure to take the glucophage separately from the GlucX product. GlucX contains fiber, which may interfere with the absorption of glucophage if they are taken simultaneously. We recommend taking the GlucX 4 hours apart from the glucophage.

Glucophage acts as an anti-hyperglycemic; it reduces glucose thereby reducing insulin levels. It is prescribed for those with Insulin Resistance. Metformin can impact weight loss. However, the results are variable. There are also many negative side effects with the treatment of Metformin that can impact your health.

Our view on the pharmaceutical treatment of Insulin Resistance is that there is no single drug on the market that will change your condition. The only way to reverse the disorder is to reduce elevations in insulin and glucose.

The Insulite System for Healthy Joints was created to increase insulin sensitivity. This can be partially achieved by diet and exercise changes. The addition of nutrients will help you become more sensitive to your insulin, to lower your blood glucose and reverse Insulin Resistance, a key underlying factor in your Diabetes.

If you do decide to keep taking glucophage while using the Insulite System for Healthy Joints, we recommend that you test your blood sugar daily for the first few weeks on the System, as the Insulite nutrients and glucophage together may decrease your blood sugar beyond what you may expect. This is good news, however. If you find this is happening, speak to your doctor about withdrawing from the glucophage.

All discussions about medication should be held directly with your physician. Many studies show that exercise and diet changes benefit people with depression. While we can make no claims that the Osteoarthritis Support program benefits depression, the evidence is consistent showing that elements of our program (such as exercise, weight loss, healthy diet, nutritional support) may be helpful with those with depression.

 

Exercise has been shown to improve almost all the factors that negatively influence joints. Included are excessive weight, belly fat, muscle loss, muscle weakness, production of lubricating fluid within the joint, stress management, coping, mood, and many others.

If you have osteoarthritis and either insulin resistance or diabetes, exercise is the best known activity to improve your condition. Exercise boosts metabolism, burns calories, and increases the number of insulin receptors on your cells.  This helps you burn sugar more efficiently. Exercise also helps you burn fat more efficiently.

Most studies now suggest that movement of a joint is critical to keeping it alive and healthy. Therefore, exercise is expected to improve joint health in the long term. The exception may be in cases of severe osteoarthritis, where bone is rubbing on bone. In this case, exercise can be aggravating. In general, doctors are recommending exercise to people with uncomplicated joint pain or osteoarthritis. It must be done gradually and at a pace you can tolerate. The motor imagery exercises in our program are also included to help make the transition to exercise easier if you have been inactive for a long time.

We have had feedback from a small percentage of our customers that they experience gas, bloating, changes in the frequency of bowel movements and even a change in the color of stools. This is mainly due to the GlucX product, which contains more fiber than one is usually accustomed to consuming each day. This increase can cause these symptoms, which are completely benign and will resolve over time. However, we recommend using a smaller number of GlucX capsules to begin with and then work up to the full dose. For example, use 1 cap twice a day for the first week and increase to 2 caps twice a day for the second week. Work up gradually and this will help reduce the side effects. If these symptoms persist, please contact our Coaching Team.

Any symptoms of this type should be followed up with your health care provider.

The nutrients in the Insulite System for Healthy Joints provides nutrients generally required for human metabolism. There are no components that have been associated with infertility. Some people with severe insulin resistance may experience symptoms from taking glucosamine sulfate. There have been several inconclusive or conflicting studies on glucosamine sulfate and diabetes, so the jury is still out.

About Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, and Osteoarthritis Why do Diabetes and Insulin Resistance cause excessive food cravings? Both Diabetes and Insulin Resistance are the result of imbalances in your insulin and glucose. These imbalances can cause dramatic swings in your blood sugar level. The biological effect is that your brain continues to send signals saying it needs food. As a result, you continue to feel hungry, yet no amount of food is likely to satisfy your cravings for very long. Does eating a diet high in fat contribute to Diabetes and Insulin Resistance? No, naturally occurring fat does not cause the glucose and insulin "spiking" that occurs with the repeated consumption of carbohydrates. A diet high in fat may not, however, enhance your chances of weight loss and can pose other health risks. However, the consumption of trans-fats has been shown to increase insulin insensitivity which can lead to Diabetes. Trans fats which are also called "hydrogenated fats" are found in crackers, some chips, cookies, bakery items, pastries and margarine and should be avoided completely. Is Insulin Resistance the same as Type 2 Diabetes?

A condition of insulin resistance usually precedes diabetes. Once insulin resistance has progressed to a certain point, it becomes diabetes. Insulin resistance and diabetes can both have a negative impact on joint health. 

 

It is true that there have may be some people with severe insulin resistance or diabetes who may experience symptoms from taking glucosamine sulfate. There have been several inconclusive or conflicting studies on glucosamine sulfate and diabetes, so the jury is still out. If you have diabetes, we recommend that you begin the supplement slowly and monitor your blood sugar. If you experience any symptoms, cease the supplementation with this component of the program.

Transforming your body's chemistry in a manner that will lead to permanent change takes time, commitment, persistence and patience. Working toward and maintaining ideal weight is a gradual process that will best serve you if you plan to adhere to it as a lifestyle change. Once you make this commitment, Insulite Laboratories is here to help.

Before you sign up for the Insulite System for Healthy Joints, please remember that no single pill can reverse Insulin Resistance and weight gain or increase insulin sensitivity. The way to approach conditions is with a complete system that requires commitment and realistic expectations. Insulite Laboratories recommends that you lose no more than 1/2 – 1 lb. a week on the System so that you can experience long lasting weight loss without the heartbreaking "rebound effect."

Gradual weight reduction results in a more permanent change in the way your cells respond to insulin. Research shows that rapid weight loss evident in most fad diets is almost immediately followed by rapid weight gain. Why? Because the body has a memory. If you have been overweight for some time, your body recognizes that weight as its normal state. When you lose weight quickly, the body does not have time to habituate. It sees the rapid weight loss as abnormal and, once a diet is stopped, it makes an effort to get back as quickly as possible to the normal retaining of fat.

At Insulite Laboratories, we emphasize gradual weight loss so that the body can slowly adapt to a lighter weight. In fact, in an effort to eliminate the dreaded "rebound effect" of weight loss and gain we recommend in most instances that the System is used to lose no more than 1/2 – 1 lb. a week. Insulite Laboratories wants you to be healthy for life, not thin for one event in your life.

While you can expect to see and feel changes sooner, we recommend that you commit to using the Insulite System for Healthy Joints for at least six months. At this point, we ask that you contact us for a complimentary consultation with our Medical & Advisory team. We would like to evaluate your progress with you and make recommendations for a course of action based on that evaluation. We cannot and will not make claims that this System will produce an overnight transformation. Rapid weight loss is unhealthy and non-permanent. We do guarantee that, if you follow this program for six months, you will experience weight loss, increased vitality and better health.

No, this is a system of elements that when followed carefully is intended to lead to long-term success. This is not an Atkins or Protein Power look-a-like plan. While protein is emphasized on this program, carbohydrates are not excluded. TheInsulite System for Healthy Joints includes not only a Nutrition Plan, but also Supplement and Exercise Plans, as well as a Support Network. Our Nutrition Plan recommends a healthier balance of protein and healthier carbohydrates (e.g. vegetables, fruits) than that which the majority of us currently consume. The Nutrition Plan is carefully designed to keep your blood sugar stable, so that you are hungry only at mealtimes, you are satisfied easily and your energy stays constant throughout the day.

 

 

 

If I have already done Atkins and "failed" why would I succeed with this program?

The Insulite System for Healthy Joints recommends a more realistic and healthy nutrition program and emphasizes a reasonable approach to exercise. Once the user masters both of these concepts, it is anticipated that the likelihood of gaining weight in the future will be reduced. The nutrients in our Supplement Plan improve the way your body uses insulin and reduces the cardiovascular effects of having too much insulin.

 

The Atkins diet merely suggests severe carb restriction without emphasizing the importance of healthy nutrients to reverse the condition of Insulin Resistance. The Insulite System for Healthy Joints goal is to improve the density of insulin receptor sites on the cell surface. Because of the dose of nutrients delivered in the System, there can be improvement in Insulin Resistance, resulting in more permanent success with weight loss and increased insulin sensitivity.

We are advocates of healthy eating, not just avoiding one major food group for fast weight loss. We emphasize increasing green vegetables and "good fats" in your diet because both promote weight loss. Additionally, the specialized Supplement Plan is designed to support improved efficiency in how your insulin and glucose work together again for the prevention of weight gain.

Another reason that we anticipate higher success with the Insulite System for Healthy Joints is the emphasis we place on support. Studies show that support is vital to any lifestyle transition. A key objective of the System is to keep you motivated through weekly messages with advice on nutrition, healthy recipes, exercise, and research on the factors that improve joint symptoms. All Insulite System participants also receive a monthly newsletter and can obtain feedback on their progress at any time by contacting us via email or by calling 1 888 9 TO HEAL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additionally, the specialized supplement program "instructs" or "reminds" your insulin and glucose how to work together again for the prevention of weight gain.

Another reason that you are likely to succeed with the Insulite System for Healthy Joints is the emphasis we place on support. Studies show that support is vital to any lifestyle transition. The goal of the Insulite Support Network is to keep you motivated through weekly messages with advice on nutrition, healthy recipes, exercise and research on Insulin Resistance and its related conditions such as Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Insulite participants also receive a monthly newsletter and can obtain feedback on their progress at any time by contacting us via email or by calling 1 888 9 TO HEAL.

 

We are advocates of getting your nutrients from food rather than snack bars and processed food. However, if you feel that you must eat protein bars, we recommend eating a high-protein bar like Balance Bar that is designed to have a ratio of at least 30% protein to 40% carbohydrates. Avoid bars that use fructose as a sweetener. Our program is aimed at reducing the kinds of sugars that can glycate joint proteins. Fructose is among the strongest of the glycating sugars. High protein foods like nuts, cottage cheese and lean meats are also good suggestions when you are on the go.

Perhaps. Stress increases the circulating levels of cortisol and adrenalin. Both these hormones cause the release of glucose from your liver. Therefore, stress increases blood levels of glucose and consequently causes an increase in insulin secretion from your pancreas, which further contributes to your Insulin Resistance. Cortisol also causes an increase in fat storage around your abdomen and thighs.
