Joint Health Support

How will the Joint Health Support Pack help me?

Many people suffer from joint and problems become more common with increasing age. It is not essential however that problems develop. Many of the issues that develop around joint pain and degeneration can be prevented or at least alleviated by making ongoing, good lifestyle choices.

A good and well-balanced diet inevitably plays a part. A diet which is high in acid forming foods can have a detrimental effect on health at all levels in the long term. Acidic wastes can become lodged in joints, causing inflammation and degeneration. This can also lead to degeneration in the skeleton if sufficient alkaline minerals are not in the diet to buffer out these acids, as the bones are the biggest source of alkaline minerals in the body with their calcium deposits. In addition, stress puts the nervous system into an acid forming mode, and long term stress can have a devastating effect. Don’t forget, negative emotions such as anger when it is suppressed can also have an impact, as has been clearly demonstrated by studies. If you feel it, let it out.

Many people develop joint problems as a result of carrying too much weight. This puts additional pressure on the joints and leads to more wear and tear, as well as free radical damage and inflammation. Obese people rarely have a good diet so this contributes also. Keen sportspeople often find that their joints become problematic also as they sustain long term damage from the activity.

Anyone who feels they might be at risk of joint problems, be it from lifestyle or family predisposition, should consider taking supplements which aid the joints and skeleton generally as a preventative measure. Everflex and Skeletal Health both contribute to keeping the joints strong and healthy and minimising wear and tear. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has been extensively studied for its ability to reduce inflammation and pain.

Skeletal Strength - What are the benefits?

Nature’s Sunshine’s Skeletal Strength provides nutrients the body uses to manufacture bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and skin. These nutrients counteract many of the forces that deplete the structural system of strength and flexibility under mechanical stress and the ability to replenish the blood supply.

Optimised Curcumin - What are the benefits?

The pharmacological benefits of curcumin are extensive and well-documented by scientific research. It's most renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to increase the antioxidant capacity of the body.

EverFlex - What are the benefits?

Formulated to help maintain joint mobility, EverFlex provides important nutrients which are the building blocks for healthy cartilage in joints. Cartilage is the ‘shock absorber’ for the joints, protecting bone from wear and tear.

Sudden joint discomfort is usually the result of overuse or injury. The knee joint is especially vulnerable to damage because it takes the full weight of your body and any extra force when you run or jump. Cartilage, although a tough and flexible material, is relatively easy to damage. People with cartilage damage commonly experience joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
