Avosoy Complete

by Dr. Theo's Official

AVOSOY Complete contains ASU + Vegetarian Glucosamine + Chondroitin (with Vitamins C, E and low-dose Manganese). Three tablets daily provides 300 mg of ASU, 1,500 mg of glucosamine and 800 mg of chondroitin (the dose used in the latest clinical studies). AVOSOY Complete is "cow-free," but not vegetarian, since chondroitin is currently from animal sources.

What's so special about Dr. Theo's Official Products?
Many people have concerns about the quality of some dietary supplements, and with good reason. Three reviews of joint supplement products revealed about 80% did not have in them what it said on their labels, including some large name brands and products that proclaimed to be "quality tested". The FDA regulates dietary supplements as food products, not drugs. So how can you be sure you're getting a quality product?

Dr. Theo has found a way to make quality and label concerns all but disappear. Starting with the highest quality ingredients, then having the production performed at FDA-approved over-thecounter drug manufacturing facilities, Dr. Theo's Official goes two steps further.

Each batch of product is sent for third party, laboratory quality analysis. Finally, customers can actually have access to these results! These four steps, taken together, is something that has rarely, if ever been seen in this industry. In fact, pharmaceutical products do not even follow this strict protocol.

You should expect the very highest standard from the leading authority in joint health.

AVOSOY Complete is the "all-in-one" product for those who desire maximum benefit. All three major supplements are contained in each tablet. Most people who are experiencing joint difficulties or want to prevent them should consider this combination product. This has the most powerful combination of ingredients.

How do I know if a product is working?
Pain relief and being able to do more are two ways to know. This can occur in as short as two weeks but may take several months. But even if this doesnıt occur right away, donıt stop the supplements.
Another way to know a product may be working is if you're able to reduce your dose, or eliminate the need for anti-inflammatory medication (such as Celebrex, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, generics such as ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, aspirin, or dozens of others).
Studies show that using glucosamine, chondroitin and perhaps ASU, long term can result in an improvement in the health of the joints even in those who have no noticeable change in pain. Dr. Theo likens the use of his supplements for joint health to the way calcium is used for bone loss or osteoporosis. There may be a benefit in taking these supplements even if you don't notice any change.

Do AVOSOY Products interact with any medication or other supplements?
There are no known interactions with any medications. Dr. Theo (www.drtheo.com) will be tracking cases, should they occur. Always ask your doctor before adding any supplement or drug to your daily regimen.

Does the glucosamine in AVOSOY Complete affect blood sugar or Diabetes?
A study of a glucosamine/chondroitin product had no effect on the blood sugar of diabetic subjects compared to placebo over 90 days of treatment. No elevation in blood sugar was noted in a three-year study of glucosamine versus placebo. It is unlikely that AVOSOY Complete will effect blood sugar or cholesterol levels. Finally, a completely separate study on individuals without diabetes showed that glucosamine had no effect on either blood sugar or a longer-term measure of blood sugar control called hemoglobin A1C.

Dr. Theo will be tracking cases, should they occur. He will also follow the literature closely and will monitor the FDA's adverse event reporting service (AERS).

What does the "Complete" mean in the AVOSOY Complete?
The "COMPLETE" stands for the added shellfish-free glucosamine AND "cow-free" chondroitin (in addition to the ASU). This is the most powerful of the three AVOSOY products.

Who should not use ASU, Glucosamine or Chondroitin?
These supplement ingredients have not been studied in children, pregnant or nursing women. Always consult with your physician before starting any new drug or supplement.

Why not just eat more avocados and soy products rather than take ASU?
It takes a large amount of avocados and soybeans to make a tiny amount of ASU. ASU is purified and extracted from avocado and soybean oil. Only about 1% of the oil is the ASU fraction. Furthermore, this ASU fraction has to be separated from certain fibers to be absorbed. Therefore, it is unlikely youıd see significant benefits from eating (even large amounts) of avocados and soy products, and you'd gain weight trying!

Besides the challenges in isolating ASU, avocados have to be picked and processed at just the right time. Too young or too old and the concentration of the desired material is too low.

Are these supplements all I need for joint health?
Remember, keeping healthy joints requires multiple steps, not just taking supplements. The full prevention and treatment plans are detailed in The Arthritis Cure - Revised Edition.

Are the soy components a health risk for people with thyroid disease or breast cancer?
No. Don't confuse ASU with other soy derivatives, such as isoflavones. In people who have thyroid disease or have had breast cancer, it might not be a good idea to consume very large quantities of soy foods. There are compounds in the soy foods called isoflavones that act like plant estrogens. ASU is not a significant source of isoflavones, however. The active component of ASU, the unsaponifiable portion of the oils, is quite different from the other substances that are found in soy foods.

What are the side effects of ASU, Glucosamine and Chondroitin?
There are no specific side effects from using these products. About 5% of people who take any product by mouth, even a placebo, experience some stomach discomfort, gas or bloating. Often, this is due to the fiber in the product, and not from the main ingredients. People are individuals, and may respond to supplements differently, however.
