Joint Support
Joint Support Supplements are commonly presented & sold as Formulated Supplementary Sports Foods in New Zealand – Whilst training hard can easily and quickly reward you with the results you want, they can often come at a cost, especially to your muscles, joints, ligaments, bones and immunity. Athletes, bodybuilders and frequent trainers are continually pushing their bodies, often at high intensities in order to get the gains they want, but this can wreak havoc on certain parts of our body. But just as protein can help rebuild damaged muscles and make them stronger, joint support supplements can help with the stresses placed on our bones, cartilage and ultimately the joints that we use so often. By protecting these important structures in our body, you can not only prevent future injuries and improve future performances, you can also aid in the prevention of future disorders such as arthritis. Most joint support stacks and supplements include ingredients such as glucosamine, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) or chondroitin.
One of the most well known and extremely popular joint support supplement is glucosamine and is used mainly to reduce joint pain and swelling as well as tenderness and other symptoms of osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is derived from glucose and is formed when it is combined with amino acids and is part of glycosaminoglycans, the main component of cartilage. Glycosaminoglycans are found in the body’s connective tissues and their function is to attract water molecules which helps to keep the joint lubricated and protected. The other aforementioned compounds; methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and chondroitin are also popular in joint support supplements and have been shown to assist in joint repair and protection. They are effective at relieving osteoarthritis and other joint degenerating diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Lyme disease. On top of that, MSM can easily be used as a natural anti-inflammatory substance, a suitable alternative to processed pharmaceutical drugs.
Trainers and athletes who tend to participate in high impact activities such as running, netball, basketball, gymnastics, tennis and heavy strength training place their joints at increased risk of pain and degradation which is where supplements such as glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin come in handy. Many people forget these important supplements until it’s too late, such as when they’ve acquired an injury. But taking these supplements before getting an injury can easily help prevent any future conditions and injuries from arising. At the moment, the best recommended dosing for joint support supplements is for about 1500 milligrams per day which is spread out throughout the day 2-3 divided doses. It is best to check labels of different supplements to ensure that you’re getting the required dose. Joint support supplements are a great foundation supplement for general good health and stack well with other foundation supplements such as essential fatty acids and multivitamins and multi minerals.
Joint support supplements are not a sole source of nutrition and should be used in conjunction with an appropriate physical training or exercise programme. Not suitable for children or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision. Always read label prior to use.
