Oh my aching knees…. if I had a dime for every time I uttered this phrase! As an exercise enthusiast, I regularly give my joints a pounding by running, lifting weights and cycling. Which leads me to ponder... how do I protect my joints from injury and maintain strong, healthy joints into my old age?
We all know that joints are the connections between two bones that help you bend your knees and elbows, walk and turn your head. Joints are surrounded by cartilage and a fluid called synovium, which both help to cushion and protect joints from wear and tear.
To keep joints strong, it is important to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly (aerobic exercise is believed to reduce joint swelling), practice good posture, and eat a balanced diet.
Glucosamine sulfate, a natural compound found in shellfish, stimulates cells to create one of the main building blocks of joint cartilage – proteoglycans MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural plant source of sulfur, which is used by many of the body's structural molecules, including joint cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate attracts and holds large amounts of water, which is necessary to nourish and lubricate joints. NSI Glucosamine Chondroitin and MSM contains all three of these natural compounds which help to support healthy and strong joints. Trust me… your knees will love you for it!
