1. Platinum Turmeric

Our Platinum Turmeric blend contains various forms of turmeric, glucosamine, Boswellia extract (frankincense), piperine, and several other highly beneficial natural extracts to keep you at your best. 

1. Turmeric: Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties have led to the popular use of turmeric supplements as a natural remedy for various conditions, including back pain.
2. The potential benefits of turmeric for back pain are largely based on its anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation can play a role in causing or exacerbating back pain, and curcumin may help reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort. Some studies have suggested that curcumin can be as effective as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in managing certain types of pain.
3. Boswellia: Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, is another herbal supplement with anti-inflammatory properties. Like turmeric, it may help reduce inflammation and pain.
4. Glucosamine: Glucosamine is a natural compound found in cartilage. It is commonly used as a supplement to support joint health.
5. Chondroitin sulfate: Chondroitin is another component of cartilage and is often combined with glucosamine in joint health supplements.
6. Bromelain: Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple stems. It is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is sometimes used as a natural remedy for reducing inflammation and swelling.

Natural extracts have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to remedy illnesses. We harness and advance these natural extracts in modern times for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness.

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.

2. Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that supports the growth and development of bones and teeth. It also plays an essential role in the functioning of the muscles and boosting energy levels in the body. Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health and supporting the immune system. Some research suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to various musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) softgel capsule daily or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.

3. Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium Glycinate is one of the most important nutrients needed throughout the body. Magnesium glycinate is a supplement that combines the essential mineral magnesium with the amino acid glycine. Magnesium is involved in numerous bodily processes and is known to play a role in muscle function, nerve transmission, and bone health. While magnesium deficiency can contribute to muscle cramps and spasms, there isn't substantial evidence to suggest that magnesium glycinate alone is a definitive treatment for back pain.

However, some studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can be helpful for certain types of back pain, especially if the pain is related to muscle tension or spasms. Magnesium's muscle-relaxant properties may help alleviate muscle tightness and discomfort. Additionally, magnesium can contribute to overall bone health, which might indirectly benefit those experiencing back pain due to osteoporosis or other bone-related issues.
