Mark is the Founder, CEO and Chief Scientist -of RZN Nutraceuticals, a company with natural products for the relief of arthritis. He is a 25 year veteran of biomedical engineering and research in the fields of orthopedics, joint diseases, implantable cardiac devices, materials science, and material chemistry. He holds over a dozen United States Patents either issued or pending in these fields. His involvement in arthritis and joint problem products resulted from his own joint problems and desire to use natural products. Over those years he had 12 arthritis-related joint surgeries on his shoulders, wrists, thumbs, knees, hip, and feet and was in pain every day. His wife had also developed blunt trauma arthritis and this was another motivating force in finding an arthritis pain reliever because he did not want her to suffer as he had. This resulted in the ARTHRI-ZEN RELIEF productline that includes variants with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM in various combinations to provide enhanced tissue function and to repair molecules.
