Read on to learn how The Golden Dose can help you tackle your joint health today!
What Causes Aching Joints?
Joints are areas within the body where your bones meet and provide us with flexibility and range of movement. Cartilage is placed between these bones and acts as a connector and a cushion for when we move. With time, constant use, and other health circumstances, this cartilage eventually begins to wear down, causing bones to rub together more and leading to aching joints.
Tips for Keeping Your Joints Young
While there are many different kinds of joints in the body (all for different types of movement), the average person has over 300 joints in total. Weight-bearing and high-mobility joints like knees, hips, back, shoulders, fingers, and elbows are typically the most common culprits for inflammation.
In addition to ensuring a healthy diet and taking beneficial supplements, there are quite a few steps you can take to keep your joints healthy.
💪 Move More and Your Joints will Thank You- Between work and other priorities, carving out time for exercise may be difficult. However, ensuring you stretch and exercise daily will help improve circulation, stiff muscles, and inflammation. Even a quick 10-20 minute walk can benefit your mental and physical well-being!
💪 Build Muscle for Joint Support- Aching joints are a common result of sports injuries, physically demanding jobs, age, and so on. Oftentimes, this condition is the result of little to no cartilage within the joint itself. In extreme cases, surgery may be recommended. However, many exercises can focus on building muscle around the joint to relieve pressure. Increased muscle support can help alleviate inflammation around the joint and improve joint longevity, which may prolong the need for surgery or forgo it altogether!
Talking about all the tips for healthy joints sounds simple right? But putting these words into action may not be quite so easy. The first and most common obstacle is your lifestyle. Initiating change to your routine sounds easy but can prove difficult as you juggle work, kids, school, relationships, and so on. The next, and most difficult obstacle, will be joint discomfort.
Those who are experiencing joint discomfort are likely to reduce their physical exercise to keep the pain at bay. However, this solution often leads to increased inactivity meaning, more stiffness and discomfort. Daily supplements may be an ideal solution for folks battling stiff joints, allowing them the opportunity to be active again.
Which Supplements Best Support Joint Health?
Glucosamine & Chondroitin- The main factor contributing to joint pain is the amount of cartilage that exists between the bones themselves. Lack of cartilage means more bone-on-bone friction, meaning more inflammation and pain. Usually found paired together, these compounds are responsible for maintaining the structure and reparation of cartilage in the body. Glucosamine supports healthy cartilage by maintaining and repairing the structure while chondroitin lubricates joints, encouraging elasticity.
MSM- Methylsulfonylmethane is a key ingredient for collagen and glucosamine synthesis within the body. As you may have guessed, both collagen and glucosamine are imperative to maintaining joint health. Taking an MSM daily supplement has been shown to help support healthy joints, bones, inflammation, and even support your immune system! The Golden Dose combines MSM, glucosamine, and chondroitin in our premium Joint supplement.
Vitamin D3- Vitamin D3 is vital to support many functions of the body including heart, immune, mental, bone, and joint health. Those with low D3 levels often experience joint discomfort as well. For a healthy mind and body, ensure your vitamin D3 levels are balanced and maintained
Tumeric Curcumin Phytosome- Turmeric is an ingredient that has long been coveted for its anti-inflammatory properties. The key lies in the curcuminoids, the main bioactive substances in turmeric which produce anti-inflammatory effects. The Golden Dose utilizes Meriva®, a unique turmeric phosphatidylcholine complex (phytosome), which maximizes the absorption of curcuminoids by over 20%!
