Naturally Managing Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the number one cause of disability in America. It is the  degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, most common from middle age onward. It causes pain and stiffness, especially in the hip, knee, and thumb joints. However, loss of cartilage is not an age issue- your body can produce the material your entire life but you often don’t give your body the chance.

One major cause of it is being overweight.  The human body was only designed to carry a certain amount, and obesity causes a pressure that focuses in the joints.  Watch your weight.  Also, be careful with physical activity.  While exercise is good, high physical exertion or improperly place weight can increase your joint damage.  Control your blood sugar as high glucose can make cartilage stiff and eventual diabetes makes inflammation more prevalent.

Your body needs sulfur to improve lubrication so supplementation is important.  Reducing friction and inflammation is crucial to recovery in your joints.  An easy solution is MSM+C.

In order to get the raw material you need, we also have Ultra Joint Health.  It has glucosamine, at the right kind and dosage.  It also has chondroitin, which helps produce the cushion material of cartilage.
In taking these supplements, it’s important to know that, for a few days, the inflammation and pain might increase.  That’s good!  It’s means your body is healing.
