The recommended supplement for Arthritis are: Collagen Peptides, Joint Support Gummies, Platinum Turmeric

1. Collagen Peptides

Grass-Fed Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptide Powder is essential for maintaining a healthy level of collagen in the body. Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body and is responsible for keeping the skin, hair, and nails healthy. 

Collagen also gives structure to tendons and joints. The body’s ability to produce collagen begins to slow as it gets older. Therefore, individuals interested in their health should consider supplementing with it to keep the body functioning correctly. 

Hydrolyzed collagen is absorbed more readily and uses the amino acids present to boost functionality. Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides Powder is rich in the amino acids glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and alanine which help promote collagen synthesis in our body.

Suggested Use: Add one (1) level scoop to 8-10 oz. of chilled water or preferred beverage in a shaker cup and mix for about 5 seconds. Drink and enjoy a shake each day. 

2. Joint Support Gummies

Joint Support Gummies are a delicious way to get in the necessary level of glucosamine that your body needs to replenish cartilage and tendon tissues around the joints while also increasing the fluid around joints to prevent their breakdown. 

As the body ages, joints start to ache because of the breakdown of cartilage around the joint. For some, this creates severe discomfort. Cartilage breakdown is more apparent in athletes who push their bodies to the limit. Joint Support Gummies are a delicious way to counteract this.

Suggested Use: Take two (2) gummies once a day as a dietary supplement.

3. Platinum Turmeric

Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make turmeric a potential natural remedy for arthritis symptoms. Studies have suggested that curcumin may help reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness in individuals with arthritis. It is believed that curcumin inhibits certain inflammatory enzymes and mediators, thereby reducing the inflammatory response in the joints. Additionally, curcumin's antioxidant properties help protect the joints from oxidative stress, which is known to contribute to arthritis progression. While research is still ongoing, and more extensive clinical trials are needed to establish the exact mechanisms and efficacy of turmeric supplements for arthritis, preliminary findings are promising. However, it is important to note that the bioavailability of curcumin is relatively low, meaning that the body may not absorb it efficiently. To enhance absorption, it is often recommended to consume turmeric with black pepper, which contains a compound called piperine that can improve curcumin's bioavailability. Piperine, has been demonstrated to block a process in your body that removes compounds like curcuminoids, promoting improved absorption. Our platinum turmeric blend contains glucosamine, Boswellia extract (frankincense), piperine, and several other highly beneficial natural extracts to keep you at your best. 

Suggested Use: Take two (2) capsules once a day as a dietary supplement. For best results, take 20-30 min before a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.
