Why is it Important to Support Your Joints?

Joints facilitate the movement of bones in your body. Without them, we’d be unable to move freely due to the excruciating pain of bone rubbing on bone.

Inside a joint is a layer of protective cushioning (cartilage) that covers the ends of each bone, and synovial fluid - a thick liquid in the joint.

The cartilage is lubricated by the synovial fluid to reduce friction, allowing the bones to glide over each other freely and without pain.

Having healthy joints will allow you to partake in any movement as small as opening your hand, to walking, running, jumping and playing sports freely and easily, without pain.

What Causes Joint Pain and Deterioration?

Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation and pain in a joint.

There are many different types of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

There are many factors that can cause your joints to deteriorate and for a type of arthritis to develop, such as:

Can You Test For Joint Deterioration?

Generally, you will have symptoms in your joints such as pain, tenderness, swelling, inflammation, restricted movement, warm red skin over the affected joint (or it feels extremely cold), weakness, and muscle wasting.

If you experience any of these symptoms, scans such as X-rays and MRI scans, can be performed to help diagnose the problem.

The Top 7 Ways to Support and Reduce Pain in Your Joints:

While there are some things we cannot change, such as gender and genetics - here are the top 12 lifestyle changes you can make to help support your joint health:

1. Eat a clean organic diet. Processed foods have been linked to increased inflammation ^[1]. Being overweight or obese puts more pressure on the joints, making them more susceptible to arthritis and injury ^[2].
2. Improve your posture ^[3]
3. Exercise regularly, and always warm up - around 150 minutes a week is recommended ^[4]. Always wear underlayers to keep your joints warm, especially when it’s cold outside.
4. Wear supportive clothing. If you’ve had a previous injury to a joint, such as a meniscus tear (knee cartilage) be sure to wear a knee support whenever you do strenuous exercise or prolonged periods of exercise ^[5].
5. Reduce your stress. The mind is powerful, and studies have shown the link between psychological pain and joint pain ^[6].
   There are many ways to lower your stress levels, such as meditation. You can also try supplementing with our Serenity Anti-Stress Support or 5 HTP products
6. Arrange a thyroid test ^[7]
7. Support your joints with essential nutrients and supportive plant compounds for optimal performance:

Glucosamine Sulfate. Glucosamine naturally occurs in the body and works by building cartilage, ligaments and connective tissue ,as well as lubricating and strengthening joints for freer movement ^[8].

As such, it’s an extremely popular supplement amongst athletes who are prone to joint injuries.

A trial saw glucosamine improve acute knee injuries in 106 athletes after 4 weeks ^[9].

Boswellia Extract. Also known as frankincense or olibanum, Boswellia extract comes from Boswellia trees and has been used in traditional eastern medicines for millenia to help treat rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory problems ^[10].

A specific extract from boswellia trees called 5-loxin was used in two clinical trials on 135 osteoarthritis patients. It seemed to significantly improve joint function and pain ^[11].

Chondroitin Sulfate. Another naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in cartilage that cushions your joints (hyaline cartilage).

Chondroitin sulfate can help to prevent the breakdown of cartilage in joints, while synthesizing various cartilage components ^[12].

Turmeric. One of the bioactive ingredients in turmeric is circumin, which can potentially help to regenerate cartilage ^[13].

A study conducted on 3 month supplementation of a circumin-phosphatidylcholine complex showed an increase in walking distance (by over 400%) and a 58% decrease in pain in osteoarthritis sufferers ^[14].

Circumin is also capable of promoting anti-inflammatory activity ^[15].

Quercetin. Quercetin is a pigment that is naturally found in a lot of fruits, vegetables and grains.

It’s an extremely abundant antioxidant that plays a crucial role in combating free radical damage in your body. As such, it can help reduce inflammation.

50 women with rheumatoid arthritis took part in an 8 week study of quercetin supplementation.

They experienced reduced pain and stiffness in the morning, as well as reduced pain after an activity. Markers (such as TNFa) of inflammation were also reduced when compared to those who took the placebo ^[16].

Methionine. Found in a lot of proteins in the body, methionine is an essential amino acid that contributes to many processes, including being a ‘building block’ for proteins and plays a crucial role in the protection of your tissues and repair of muscles after exercise ^[17].

MSM. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an important compound found in proteins, collagen and more.

Used alone or in combination with glucosamine, MSM has been shown to help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis ^[18].

Bromelain. Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory enzyme found in pineapple extracts (ananas comosus).

2 clinical trials showed bromelain to reduce joint stiffness, pain and swelling when used on 117 people with osteoarthritis in the knees.

It was found to be just as effective as the painkilling drug diclofenac ^[19].
