Joint Supplements
Do you painfully creep in and out of bed? Wrap your joints before hitting the gym? Maybe you’re getting old; maybe your training regimen is grueling. Either way, joint support supplements help in several ways. There are three different types of joints, however the one’s that often cause problems are “Synovial, diarthrosis” joints; responsible for flexing, extending, and rotating.

Joint Supplements - continued
There are more technical names for these actions, but you get the point. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints connect bones also, but provide little to no movement. Unless you’re in a bad accident, sport related or otherwise, you don’t pay much attention to these joints. Supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) strengthen and rebuild joints by providing precursors, or building blocks, for the formation, repair, and strengthening of cartilage and other connective tissue. Available in topical creams, ointments, and oral formulations, they have a long-standing use in treating osteoarthritis. The plant sterol Cissus Quadrangularis, a fairly new supplement, has been shown to actually deliver nutrients to damaged tendons, and would make a great adjunct to a “joint-support program/” Hyaluronic acid, another fairly new joint supplement, strengthens connective tissue (including skin’s elasticity), and is a major component of joint fluid.
