Glucosamine and chondroitin are integral parts of every joint in your body. They are present in articular cartilage and synovial fluid within the joints. Glucosamine provides a foundation for compounds called glycosaminoglycans (AKA proteoglycans), which are major components of cartilage. Like glucosamine, chondroitin may help support normal, healthy levels of proteoglycans, but it also helps support healthy levels of hyaluronic acid, which may in turn support healthy synovial fluid levels. Chondroitin may also affect the way chondrocytes (cartilage cells) cause damage to the cartilage matrix. Vitamin C supports joint health because of its vital role in supporting healthy collagen within joints. Manganese helps support healthy levels of certain amino acids needed for healthy collagen. Since neither glucosamine nor chondroitin are present in significant amounts in a normal diet, a daily supplement of at least 1500 mg and 1200 mg may be beneficial to help support joint health.

Ginger is a traditional Indian culinary spice that has been utilized in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. More recently, clinical studies have identified its significant effects on the human body. Both recent research and historical uses point to ginger’s support of digestion and gastrointestinal health. It may specifically support normal, healthy levels of bile within the GI tract. The research also shows that compounds in ginger called gingerols may help support normal, healthy levels of COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2). COX-2 plays a critical role in the process that helps maintain a normal, healthy inflammation balance. Gingerols also act as potent antioxidants that help to neutralize free radicals in both water and fat-soluble forms, which may help protect many biochemical processes and cells. In addition to other affects, this may help support healthy joint function and mobility.

Garlic may offend your nose, but it makes your heart very happy. Its’ strong pungent odor is caused by the same compounds that may help support your heart health. Garlic’s high concentration of sulfurous compounds may provide antioxidant protection against toxic free radicals. Antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase are abundant in garlic and seem to be among the most potent antioxidants found in herbs and plants. These and other compounds such as trace minerals and enzymes may help support normal, healthy cholesterol levels, healthy immunity, and normal, healthy blood clotting. Although many people consume garlic often, certain critical compounds are largely destroyed when garlic is cooked, and a daily supplement may be recommended to help support cardiovascular and immune health, and to benefit from garlic’s potent antioxidant qualities.

Balance is key to a happy and healthy life. For some women, maintaining normal hormonal balance is challenging. Evening primrose oil is rich in the two omega-6 essential fatty acids, cis-linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which may help support normal, healthy hormonal balance in women. Estrogen often spikes considerably during mensuration in women of childbearing age. As women approach menopause later in life, estrogen levels can become erratic, rising and falling quickly. Evening primrose oil may help support normal, healthy hormonal balance and help ease dramatic fluctuations. Evening primrose oil may also help support normal, healthy skin and the maintenance of the skin’s oily moisture barrier. Since evening primrose oil is not part of a typical diet, a daily supplement may help support a woman’s normal, healthy hormonal balance.
