Support Your Joints with Glucosamine

A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet. They allow movement so that we can walk, run, jump, and do many other things.[i] 

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found on the ends of bones that provides cushioning inside our joints.[ii]  It varies in thickness in different areas, but did you know that there’s only 3mm of this shock absorbing cartilage in your knee?!^{^} This doesn’t seem much when you consider all the movement and impact our knees endure over a lifetime.

Joint pain will affect most people at some point in their life. Cartilage can become damaged over time due to injury, overuse and general wear and tear which can result in pain, inflammation and restricted movement.ⁱ This is why it’s important we maintain healthy joints from a young age.

Some of the ways we can preserve our joint health include: [iii]

• Regular low impact exercise (walking, cycling, swimming and strength training)
• Stay active including alternating between sitting and standing positions throughout the day
• Avoid joint injuries and have them seen to if injured
• Eat well and maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts increased pressure on your joints
• Be aware of your posture and take care of your joints when lifting and carrying things

Another way to look after your joints is with the Nature’s Own Joints Range which includes products that contain glucosamine.

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that’s a key building block of cartilage and synovial fluid. Synovial fluid plays a role in joint elasticity, strength and cartilage lubrication. Glucosamine also assists with some symptoms associated with mild osteoarthritis such as relief of mild joint pain, reduces mild joint stiffness and maintains joint mobility.

Chondroitin is another naturally occurring substance in cartilage.
