What is fibromyalgia? 
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness at specified sites, fatigue, and unrefreshing sleep. Conditions found to be related to fibromyalgia include:
 

	Muscle Spasms	Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS)	Major Depressive Disorder	Irritable Bowel Syndrome
	Myofascial Pain Syndrome	Temporamandibular Joint Syndrome	Tension and Migraine Headaches	Muscle Weakness

How does Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula work?
Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula is a 4Life™ proprietary supplement backed by the latest scientific research. This unique formula contains a powerful blend of ingredients that are essential for proper muscle and joint health.* Here are some of the key ingredients in the Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula, and a brief description of their function. 

Key Ingredients:
Magnesium is involved with every major energy production and transport function in the body. Magnesium supplementation has shown beneficial impacts on fatigue and pain.⁴

Malic acid is essential in the citric acid cycle (energy production cycle). As it passes through this cycle, it is converted into useable energy (ATP).⁵

Glucosamine and Bovine Cartilage are used in the body to manufacture cartilage components necessary for joint and tissue repair.⁶

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) is an important source of dietary sulfur. Sulfur plays an integral part in the proper function of many proteins, hormones, and other substances that are critical in keeping muscles and joints healthy.⁷

Boswellia serrata is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. It has been shown to reduce joint swelling, increase mobility, and decrease morning stiffness.⁸

Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in the production of several important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), and dopamine.⁹

N-Acetyl cysteine and cysteine play a critical role in the prevention of skeletal muscle wasting and fatigue conditions.^{10 11}

What is Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula?
Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula is a revolutionary product that works in conjunction with the Fibro AMJ™ Day-Time Formula in the fight against fibromyalgia and arthritis.* This product is specially formulated to help restore normal sleep patterns while supplying your body with important nutrients that aid in tissue health.* 

The ability to reach deep sleep is essential to health and wellness. Abnormal sleep patterns, or the inability to reach deep sleep (R.E.M.), is believed to be a major factor associated with fibromyalgia and other musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the common effects found in sleep deprivation studies include muscle pain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances (i.e. Growth Hormone (GH) release). 

Fibro AMJ™ Night-Time Formula contains a powerful blend of ingredients that helps you to relax, prepares you for a good night's sleep, and aids in muscle tissue repair.* Below are some of the key ingredients in the Fibro AMJ TM Night-Time Formula, and a brief description of their function. 

Key Ingredients:
Melatonin is a hormone that assists us in attaining deep levels of sleep. Melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycle, helps increase sleep onset, helps our bodies to sleep all night long, and helps us reach deep sleep (REM sleep).¹

Griffonia simplicifolia (natural source of 5-hydroxytryptophan or 5-HTP) is a plant rich in 5-HTP. 5-HTP has been effective against many conditions of fibromyalgia, including reducing muscle pain, anxiety, and pain intensity. It also has shown to help induce sleep, improve sleep quality, and reduce fatigue.²

Pregnenolone is one of the critical neurosteroids that has the ability to modify EEG sleep in humans. This also suggests one of pregnenolone's potential benefits as a memory enhancer.³

Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in the production of several important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), and dopamine. ⁵

Creatine is a nutrient naturally found in our bodies. It is made from three amino acids (arginine, glycine, and methionine). Creatine is used in our muscles to create energy: Our ability to create energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP) depends upon our creatine supply. Creatine helps restore energy in fatigued muscles.⁶

Kava kava is used for its natural calming effects. Kava helps you relax and allows for a good night's rest.⁷
