Joint Juice® Inc. sponsors Ultramarathon Man
Dean Karnazes' Joints

April 2010

There are many sponsored athletes out there, but how many sponsored knees have you met? Joint Juice® now sponsors ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes' joints. Previously ranked by Time Magazine as one of the "Top 100 Most Influential People in the World," and owner of some of the hardest working joints anywhere, Karnazes is a long-time user of Joint Juice® and a true believer in the benefits of glucosamine for joint health and ultimate joint function.*

"I was first introduced to Joint Juice® by its founder, orthopedic surgeon Kevin R. Stone, M.D., when it launched, and the product has been a part of my health regimen ever since," says Karnazes. "I'm grateful for the convenience and efficacy of a product like Joint Juice®, which tastes great and gives my joints what they need to keep moving."

A champion in the endurance running world, Karnazes' extreme endurance career highlights include accomplishing 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, completing a 135-mile run across Death Valley in 120-degree temperatures, and finishing a marathon in the South Pole in below freezing conditions. Karnazes is also the recipient of the 2007 ESPN ESPY Award for "Best Outdoor Athlete."

"As an extreme athlete, it's not unusual for me to follow a 50-mile run with a day of land or water sports," explains Karnazes. "I'm committed to being proactive when it comes to maintaining my joint health, so I can continue to do the things I love. In addition to a conscientious diet and training schedule, Joint Juice® is a vital part of maintaining my lifestyle."

Karnazes' upcoming athletic feats include a 5-day ride along the California coast followed by a nonstop 24-hour run through the neighborhoods and key landmarks of Los Angeles, where he will conclude his trip with the LA Marathon on March 21, 2010. He also plans to ride the Hell's Gate Hundred in Death Valley on April 3, 2010, and participate in a 100-kilometer endurance race in the mountains of Patagonia on April 1017, 2010.

"Dean embodies the spirit of Joint Juice®, and we're thrilled to be sponsoring his active joints," explains Jack Robertson, CEO of Joint Juice®. "His ability to continually exceed the limits of human capability is an inspiration and a constant reminder that healthy joints are the key to keep doing what we love to do."
