What Are Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are molecules that protect against free radicals, or unstable compounds, within the body.

When free radicals begin to outnumber antioxidants in our system, oxidative stress can occur which damages cells and increases risk of many other negative health outcomes¹.

Berries and fruits are common sources of antioxidants.

 

How Does This Product Support Joints?

 

Our joint support formula contains high concentrations of curcumin, the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory found in turmeric ² . 

It also includes other potent antioxidants/anti-inflammatories in the forms of ginger, boswellia, quercetin, and bromelain²³⁴⁵.

 

 

Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties³.

Boswellia is known for its anti-inflammatory properties². 

Quercetin is a potent flavonoid and antioxidant². 

Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the pineapple plant and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties².

Beyond antioxidants, this product also contains joint-supporting compounds such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. Glucosamine and chondroitin are naturally found in the cartilage that cushions joints and are believed to promote normal joint mobility and comfort. MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound that has been shown to further decrease joint pain by reducing inflammation and slowing joint degradation⁶⁷⁸.

This product is an excellent joint support supplement with high doses of antioxidant content and joint-supporting compounds with proven health benefits⁹.
