Bone and Joint Health Boswellia and Bone and Joint Health

Bone and joint health are deeply affected by vitamins, hormones and minerals, such as calcium, vitamin D and thyroid hormones. Supplements that affect bone and joint health help their structure and strength, in addition to contributing to the healthy balance of involved nutraceuticals.
  • Joint Inflammatory and Stiffness

    Joint stiffness and inflammation is the feeling of limited joint movement. This sensation may or may not be caused by weakness and is associated with long periods of immobility. Stiffness is common with arthritis, and inflammation worsens the pain and limits certain movement. The timing and cause of the inflammation and stiffness can only be diagnosed by doctors, but preventive and palliative treatments are options for those who suffer from these complaints.
