Ease Daily Joint Pain

Relieve the pains of daily life with powerful, natural supplements. Experts recommend ways to resolve your problem.

Treating inflammation

1. Omega-3s

Fish oil: eating whole fish (salmon, sardines, anchovies), flaxseeds and walnuts, or taking a good fish oil supplement

Studies have shown that fish oil significantly decreases joint tenderness and stiffness, while omega-3 study participants show greater strength, less fatigue, reduced joint swelling and tenderness, less joint stiffness and less overall pain. Fish oils are anti-inflammatory. Check with your health care provider for recommended dosage amounts.

2. Curcumin

Turmeric compound: Curry or emulsion drink

Curcumin lessens joint inflammation and prevents the increased production of a protein that triggers swelling and pain.  To make it more bioavailable, experts recommend adding a tablespoon of curcumin to a microemulsion of one or two egg yolks with one teaspoon of coconut oil.

3. Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 supplement: up to 5,000 I.U. Daily

It can reduce inflammation.

Helping your body adjust

Making major changes to your diet and lifestyle can wreak havoc on your digestive system. Put importance to your body to better absorb the increase of vitamins and minerals without the negative side effects of gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.
