Joint powder

Produktbeschreibung

For degenerative joint diseases – such as age-related osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis due to improper loading, or genetic predisposition – some dietary supplements can provide support or slow down the progression of arthritic changes.
Glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate can promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue as well as further degradation of the cartilage matrix. Various studies have investigated the effect of oral intake – both the absorption from the intestine and the incorporation into the joint cartilage have been demonstrated. In some studies, the clinical results were also promising. Up to 75% of the treated patients showed an improvement in clinical symptoms such as reduced pain and improved mobility.
Omega-3 fatty acids – such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – have anti-inflammatory effects, meaning they inhibit inflammatory processes by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules. Numerous studies have shown an improvement in gait and a reduction in pain in arthritic patients using omega-3 fatty acids.
Hydrolyzed collagen contains peptides that can provide nutrients for the maintenance and regeneration of cartilage tissue after oral intake. The hydrolysates stimulate the cartilage cells to produce more cartilage tissue. Treated patients showed a reduction in pain and an improvement in joint mobility.
vil's claw is a traditional medicinal plant originating from South Africa and contains valuable secondary plant compounds. It has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects and is commonly used as a complementary treatment for joint diseases in both human and veterinary medicine.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound. Sulfur plays a crucial role in the metabolism of connective tissue, bones, tendons, and cartilage formation.
When considering the various dietary support options for overweight patients, one aspect should urgently be brought to the forefront: the reduction of overweight or the maintenance of ideal weight! Every extra gram puts additional strain on the already damaged joints. A targeted increase in muscle mass also helps to divert the direct load from the joints. In addition to a dietary approach to weight reduction (or maintaining ideal weight), physiotherapeutic support and a tailored exercise program should therefore be of utmost priority.
