Strange powder triggers "miraculous" joint health turnaround (in just 8 weeks)

Paul would never forget the night he let his granddaughter down.

The little 8-year-old girl looked up at him with her big brown eyes, a huge smile on her face.

"Grandpa, carry me upstairs!"

Paul hesitated. "I don't know sweetie," he said…

"You're getting a little big for that aren't you?"

Her smile faded.

"OK Grandpa," she sighed.

And she slowly walked up the stairs to bed, her tiny shoulders slumped.

Paul's heart broke. The truth was, she wasn't too big.

The real problem was Paul's knees.

They were so sore that day that he couldn't carry her up.

It was only fourteen steps…

And he dreaded every single one of them.

But today, Paul's life looks completely different.

Not only can he pick up his granddaughter and carry her to bed …

Sometimes he even takes the stairs two at a time!

Even better, Paul's back to doing more of the things he loves.

And it's all thanks to a breakthrough he calls "miraculous."
