If I were to ask you what natural ingredient is required for joint health, chances are you would say….. Glucosamine! And you are right! Glucosamine is extremely well known for helping support strong and healthy joints.

But is Glucosamine best taken by itself, or with other ingredients? What are the best options? First, let’s take a closer look at this star ingredient, Glucosamine.

Glucosamine is produced naturally in the body and is essential for building cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between joints, preventing the bones from rubbing against each other and helping to reduce friction in the joint with movement. The bad news is that as we age, our bodies Glucosamine levels are reduced, which can lead to joint deterioration. Supplementing with Glucosamine will help our joints and cartilage stay in top shape as we grow older, and play a key role in mobility.

Because wear and tear on joints can cause stiffness and limit mobility, incorporating ingredients to help address these issues are also recommended. Ginger and Turmeric are well known herbs to support comfort levels. Both of these herbs also offer powerful antioxidant protection protecting your cells and joints from the effects of free radical damage.

The herb Celery supports fluid balance in the joint, supporting a healthy range of movement. Celery is also a valuable herb for supporting normal uric acid levels and eliminating toxins from the body.

Let’s not forget about Vitamin D. Vitamin D can only be obtained in small amounts in the diet, and most of our body’s Vitamin D is produced in our skin when it is exposed to sunlight. Too little of this important vitamin in the diet can lead to weakened bones, therefore supplementing with Vitamin D3 is essential for developing and maintaining healthy bones.

Combining these essential ingredients with Fish Oil supplementation can offer additional support, helping to lubricate the joints and provide support for stiff, tired joints.

Glucosamine is an amazing ingredient for joint health. Combining Glucosamine with these additional ingredients help to provide a synergistic approach to joint health and care.
