Supplementation for joints is only truly useful if the body can absorb it completely-this requires a healthy body with active enzymes and proper digestion. Got that?
When it comes to joints, the first and best option is Glucosamine. You will usually find this with chondroitin. Used together, these are both more effective. These supplements basically reduce inflammation of the joints and help to rebuild joint fluid. Joint fluid is important because it is what cushions the joints against each other and provides support. Shark cartilage is one of the more common sources of glucosamine and chondroiton; sea cucumber is also a good source. MSM is also great for reducing inflammation and is often included with glucosamine and chondroiton because it also helps the body use these supplements more effectively.
