Joint Health

Supplements formulated to maintain healthy joint cartilage and joint function, among other known benefits.

Overview of Joint Health and Mobility

Joint pain can feel frustrating and limit your overall mobility. While you should always receive a doctor's opinion for chronic pain, some studies suggest anti-inflammatory diets can reduce overall inflammation. Diets rich in fiber, vitamins C and E, omega-3, prebiotics, probiotics and zinc may improve joint health. Antioxidants found in turmeric, berries and green vegetables may also reduce inflammation.

Natural collagen production decreases over time, but age doesn’t have to slow you down. Adding Collagen Peptides to your routine can help provide easy-to-absorb amino acids that support the body’s connective tissue and promote joint support and mobility.

High-Absorption Curcumin and IFOS 5-Star Omega-3

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) suggests omega-3 consumption may be associated with reduced joint stiffness and overall reduced inflammation. To see possible benefits, the ODS lists 1.6 g of omega-3 for men and 1.1 g for women as adequate daily intake recommendations. Our Triple-Strength Omega-3 contains 900 mg of omega-3 to help you meet daily nutrition goals.

Found naturally in turmeric, curcumin can also be consumed as a supplement on its own, which is why we make High-Absorption Turmeric Curcumin. Consumption of curcumin has been linked to improved joint mobility in some cases. When consumed in recommended doses, curcumin can be used safely for 2 to 3 months at a time. Consult your doctor for guidance on long-term use.
