Joints

Did you know it may be easier to strengthen and protect your joints than you thought? Aching or creaking joints are too commonly, and often unnecessarily, a regular feature in people's lives. We expect these hard working area's to do the hard work with little support from us. When this happens joints can become inflamed, worn down and start to ache. As many of us know this can interrupt mobility and our enjoyment of life.

Thankfully, nature also provided us with natural compounds found in Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM or Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid that support the lubrication of joints. Naturally occurring substances can also be harnessed to reduce inflammation and these are found in  Rose Hip, Krill or Omega 3 fatty acids. The abundant nutrient Vitamin C is used to build the connective tissue around the joint to strengthen it against damage. These natural and effective approaches not only support the repair of aching joints but can also protect against further degradation. In fact a recent study involving 1500 patients with knee osteoarthritis found Glucosamine Sulphate more effective, and with less side effects, than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
