Bone & Joint Health (128)

Helps prevent vitamin D deficiency Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin, which the body creates when skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. It is essential for immune function, calcium absorption, building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, and overall health. Many individuals lack sufficient vitamin D, and vitamin D supplementation is widely recommended throughout life.   Uses & Benefits Helps prevent vitamin D deficiency Helps reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis when combined with adequate calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise Aids in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth Supports healthy immune system function Feature Summary Natural Factors SunVitamin D3 provides a convenient, high-potency dose of vitamin D as cholecalciferol to help prevent vitamin D deficiency, and for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 is the natural form of this vital nutrient and is most effective at raising blood levels of active vitamin D. Vitamin D plays a key role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that are vital for proper bone mineralization and turnover. Vitamin D is also required for the body’s innate and adaptive immune responses. Each tablet or softgel delivers a single 2500 IU (62.5 mcg) dose of vitamin D3 for convenient maintenance of adequate vitamin D levels in people who are deficient due to a low dietary intake, minimal sun exposure, or inadequate absorption. When combined with an adequate calcium intake, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, vitamin D3 helps reduce the risk of developing the brittle, weak bones of osteoporosis. SunVitamin D3 2500 IU is certified non-GMO and is available as tablets or softgels in multiple sizes. This formula contains no artificial colours, preservatives, sweeteners, and is suitable for use during pregnancy and while nursing an infant.

But, unfortunately due to age or even injury, the human body is sometimes unable to regenerate damaged soft tissue fast enough to keep your cartilage, ligaments, and tendons supple and flexible.The result can be pain and swelling. The pain and swelling we know as arthritis occurs when these supporting tissues degenerate, allowing bone to rub against bone, which as anyone who has osteoarthritis will tell you, causes pain.Muscles and joints can become injured whenever the body is in motion. It often occurs when doing strenuous or repetitive activities, like sports or working on an assembly line. Sprains refer to damage to a tendon or ligament. Tendons hold bone and muscle together. Ligaments hold bones together. Sprains cause sharp pain and rapid swelling of the area. Strains refer to overworking a muscle. It causes muscle cramps, localized pain during movement, swelling and loss of mobility. Another joint injury is bursitis, a swelling of the fluid-filled sac inside the joint. It usually causes localized pain on movement of the joint and swelling.

Super Turmeric with Piperine (Black Pepper) Tumeric Rhizome and Piperine extract 814mg 60 VegiCaps Indication: Traditionally used in Herbal Medicine as an anti-inflammatory to help relieve joint pain. Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health. Used in Herbal Medicine to aid digestion. Traditionally used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve flatulent dyspepsia (carminative). Used in Herbal Medicine as a hepatoprotectant/liver protectant. Used in Herbal Medicine to increase bile excretion by the liver (choleretic) and stimulate contraction of the gallbladder (cholagogue). History: A popular ingredient in Ayruvedic Medicine, Tumeric or curcma long has been used as a spice for centuries in Asian cuisine and is widely cultivated in india. Curcumin and other curcuminoids (chemical compounds in turmeric) offer numerous health benefits since they are powerful antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents. Health Benefits Of Black Pepper (Piperine) And Turmeric Health benefits of any food or herb is based on its key active ingredients.Piperine is the key chemical in black pepper. Curcumin which is a polyphenol plays the same role in turmeric.Both these compounds have been studied to examine the potential health benefits they can offer individually or together. Here are some of their benefits: 1. Black pepper enhances bioavailability of Turmeric The problem with Tumeric is its low levels of bioavailability. Most of the curcumin that is ingested from Tumeric gets metabolized before it can get absorbed. As a result, Piperine is said to help make curcumin more bioavailable. This could be because it could inhibit certain intestinal digestive enzymes. Hence, there are studies to test if co-administering curcumin with piperine could improve the bioavailability of the former.These studies have been conducted on humans and laboratory animals. One study found that when even 2g of curcumin was ingested, its serum levels were very low. However, when 20mg piperine was added to curcumin the bioavailability increased by 2000%. The bioavailability, serum levels and levels of absorption of curcumin all improved dramatically. Some studies have shown that Piperine enhances the serum concentration, extent of absorption and bioavailability of curcumin up to 2000%. (Influence of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of curcumin in animals and human volunteers. ) 2. Help in reducing joint painPiperine in black pepper can trigger TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1) in the body. This triggering can reduce pain. Some studies have focused on using piperine as a new way to help with the effects of joint pain and neuropathic pain. 3. Is Anti-inflammatoryTumeric has been studied for its anti-inflammatory capabilities especially in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and other nflammatory conditions. Curcumin (found in numeric) is able to inhibit the activity of cytokines and enzymes such as COX-1 and COX-2. 4. Digestive Health benefitsSome research has show improvement with gastric mucosal damage caused by peptic ulcers. Tumeric (curcumin) helps prevent growth of Helicobacter pylori bacteria which causes peptic ulcers and the protective capability of piperine. 5. The Nootropic effect of TumericThere has been numerous research on the benefit in improving memory loss and protect people from cognitive impairment improving neurodegenerative health by acting as an anti-amyloid ability that can reduce amyloid pathway.Curcumin has cognitive benefits to support brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).1 BDNF promotes the growth of neurons which is how your brain transmits information. 2, 3 BDNF is also vital for long-term memory.4 In a studyon healthy rats, curcumin was able to increase BDNF levels by 140%.

Platinum Naturals Vitamin D3 1000 i.u. Vitamin D3 is essential for a healthy immune system, cardiovascular health, bone health and many other systems in the body. Getting enough vitamin D is a challenge in northern climates. Platinum Naturals’ Vitamin D3 provides you with the recommended daily dose of 1,000 IUs in coconut oil for easy absorption. Stronger Bones Supports cardiovascular health Supports immune function Superior Nutrient Absorption™ Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the form that we produce in our skin when we are exposed to sunlight. Studies that compared D2 and D3 have reported that D3 is more biologically active in raising vitamin D levels in the blood, thus providing the health benefits associated with adequate vitamin D levels. Getting enough vitamin D Getting enough vitamin D is a challenge, especially in northern climates. In Canada, we don’t get enough sunlight exposure from October through April to produce vitamin D synthesis in the skin.Evolution has given us the ability to produce vitamin D naturally in our bodies. You can synthesize it just under your skin with sun exposure to your face, arms, hands, or back without sunscreen.However the seasons, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, skin cover, skin colour, smog, and sunscreen affect how much UV rays you absorb and synthesize.It is recommended that all Canadians supplement with vitamin D throughout the year. Preventing illness The latest research indicates that Vitamin D may help strengthen and regulate your immune system, increase bone mineral density, and support cardiovascular health and the list of potential benefits continues to grow. Vitamin D helps both to prevent and reduce the progression of osteoporosis.It may also be effective against bacterial and viral infections. Easy absorption for better results Vitamin D is one of the fat soluble vitamins along with E, A, and K. A base of fat or oil is an ideal carrier to supply vitamin D to the body.Platinum Naturals’ Vitamin D3 provides you with 1,000 IU of vitamin D suspended in medium chain triglycerides (MCT), a form of fatty acid derived from coconut oil that increases the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

MK-7 from natto beans Natural Factors Vitamin K2 contains MK-7, the most bioavailable form of vitamin K derived naturally from natto beans. Each dose provides 24-hour protection by guiding calcium toward the bones and teeth where it is needed most, and away from the arteries where it causes damage. Uses & Benefits Helps in the normal development and maintenance of bones and teeth Helps guide calcium into bones Inhibits the calcification of arteries and other soft tissues Provides double-action support for bone and vascular health Ideal to use alongside calcium and vitamin D supplementation Feature Summary Natural Factors Vitamin K2 features vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), an advanced, fat-soluble form of vitamin K that serves multiple functions in the body. Vitamin K2 plays a critical role in protecting the heart, as well as in building strong bones. As a director of calcium, vitamin K2 guides the mineral toward tissues where it is needed, such as bones, and away from tissues where it could have a negative effect, such as arteries. Only K2 in the form of MK-7 has been shown to offer 24-hour protection in a single daily dose. Other commercially available subtypes of K2, such as MK-4, only last 4–6 hours in the body and are required in much larger dosages to be effective.The K family consists of a trio of vitamins: K1 (phylloquinone), K2 (menaquinone), and K3, a synthetic form of the vitamin. K3 has been shown to have toxic effects on the liver. While vitamin K1 is easy to obtain from green leafy vegetables, the bacteria in our intestines do not convert enough to K2 to help with atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. K2 is found in the diet in natto, a fermented soybean food popular in Japan, as well as in butter, meat, egg yolks, and organ meats from animals that are grass fed rather than grain fed. As grass-fed animal products are rare nowadays and a taste for natto is difficult to acquire for most Westerners, a vitamin K2 supplement is the best way to ensure you are getting an optimal daily dose of this important nutrient.Most people will have difficulty meeting their daily requirement of vitamin K2 through diet alone. Natural Factors Vitamin K2 provides highly bioavailable MK-7, naturally derived from natto beans, making it easy to get more of this important nutrient. LABEL INFORMATIONMedicinal ingredients Each vegetarian capsule contains: Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) (MK-7) (natto bean) 100 mcg Non-medicinal IngredientsMicrocrystalline cellulose, vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum [cellulose], purified water), vegetable grade magnesium stearate (lubricant).Recommended useSupports bone and vascular health.

MSM is a central component of collagen and connective tissue. Its sulfur assists the body in preventing inflammation, supports synovial fluid, and facilitates repair of connective tissues. MSM—methylsulfonylmethane—is the third largest solid component found in the body, a pure white sulfur powder that originates from the ocean. MSM, an organic sulfur found in all living organisms, is a nontoxic metabolite of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) that carries health and nutrition at biochemical levels. It also detoxifies and strengthens immunity, flexibility, and blood circulation. MSM is a food (not a drug or medicine) and plays many roles in the body, including exercising growth of healthy skin, hair, and nails. It is needed by the body for healthy connective tissues and joint function, proper enzyme activity, and hormone balance, along with the regulating of the immune system. The body uses MSM to create new beneficial healthy cells. Without proper levels of MSM, our body is unable to build good, healthy cells; this leads to illness. Our body produces new cells every 24 hours. If your body doesn’t receive proper nutrition and building materials, the result is the production of bad, dysfunctional cells, deficient in the basic nutrients that constitute a healthy cell. MSM has a volatile nature, and is quickly lost from food when it is processed, cooked, and/or stored. Today’s modern diet, of cooked and otherwise processed and diluted foods, often lacks this critically important nutrient. Sulfur is essential for numerous electrochemical, catalytic, and structural functions in human metabolism. Sulfur is a key component of MSM which helps connective tissues and joints and is needed for enzyme activity, hormone balance, and function of the immune system. As a central component of collagen and connective tissue, sulfur assists the body in preventing inflammation and facilitating repair of connective tissues. MSM is a very safe product because of its inert nature. MSM is nonallergenic, nonpyretic, and has no interfering or undesirable pharmacological effects. You cannot overdose with MSM. It is estimated that the human body uses over ½ g of MSM each day, which needs to be replaced every day. Good health practices involve replacing the essential substances that our body naturally uses or loses through illness or abuse and exertion. The body is much more abused by toxins and free radicals in the metropolitan cities than in rural areas, and may require more MSM to maintain an optimal state of good health. The level of disease your body is experiencing will affect the amount of MSM required to maintain daily function and proper cell repair. Our bodies combine MSM and vitamin C synergistically to build healthy new cells. MSM provides the flexible bond between amino acids in proteins. Without MSM, a new cell is not permeable, and physical osmosis is hindered. These cells lose flexibility, as seen by scar tissue, wrinkles, varicose veins, hardened arteries, and damaged lung tissues (emphysema), which makes MSM essential for connective tissue, musculoskeletal, and overall skin health. Supported by research and multiple patents, MSM in sufficient levels as a dietary supplement may help and improve the following conditions: multiple allergies and chemical sensitivities, gastrointestinal disorders, circulation, and cell vitality. It also reduces capillary fragility; improves sore, swollen joints; reduces hypertension; strengthens the immune system; reduces the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome; improves sluggish memory, hyperacidity, and upper GI distress, as an excellent alternative to antacids and acid blockers; increases collagen; and improves skin smoothness and elasticity. Body builders: Try 1 teaspoon of powder before workout and 1 teaspoon afterwards. Muscles will not be sore due to MSM’s ability to remove lactic acid build-up.

Nutridom Canadian Velvet Elk Antler Moose, elk and deer produce new antlers yearly (primarily males, except caribou/reindeer). When the new antler grows, it is covered with short hair which looks like “velvet”. It is referred to as ‘velvet antler’. This grows rapidly from about March or April until July. Velvet antler refers particularly to the whole cartilaginous antler at a pre-calcified stage, rather than the velvety “skin” on growing antlers. The antler will become hardened (calcified) and will fall off before spring. The antlers, both calcified and the soft new ones, are an important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Benefits: Pure Canadian (Alberta) elk velvet antler power Arthritis Relief Immune Enhancement Reduction Of Blood Pressure Increased Energy Directions: Adults:1 capsule twice per day.

The minerals are in the citrate form, making them more readily absorbable and metabolized by the body. Vitamin D3 is in the cholecalciferol form, which is natural, safe, and highly absorbable. Uses & Benefits Promotes strong bones and teeth Protects against the effects of stress Aids in a restful sleep Highly bioavailable Supports healthy blood cells Feature Summary Known as the most abundant mineral in the body, calcium is a bone-strengthening mineral that works alongside other minerals and vitamins in the prevention of bone deterioration. Calcium also has a range of other benefits, including the maintenance of a regular heartbeat, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle growth, and contraction.Magnesium plays a vital role in the prevention of calcification of soft tissue and may be as important as calcium in the prevention of bone loss. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and therefore is also important for healthy teeth and bones. It aids calcium absorption from the intestine, reduces calcium excretion and facilitates calcium incorporation into the bones.Potassium is essential for fluid balance in the body and proper cellular signalling, while zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions vital to a healthy immune system and gastrointestinal function as well as protein synthesis and collagen formation. Manganese is required for normal bone growth and is useful in the formation of cartilage and synovial fluid of the joints.Natural Factors Calcium &Magnesium Citrate with D3 and potassium, zinc &manganese helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
