WHAT ARE THE PROPER NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS FOR HEALTHY JOINTS?

An overview of this specific therapy, explained in a way that is comprehensive and concise.

"You are what you eat" many mothers would say when nutrition was much easier to understand. In the past, your mother or grandmother was the only expert and final word on nutrition. Today we have so many options and opinions from many so-called experts who claim to have the latest, most outrageous secret to success. Many of these claims would make your mother laugh. Our goal is to make your life easy and return to a simpler time where common sense and simple rules guide you back to health.

I  have been taking supplements since my time as an athlete at Michigan State University and found that there are definite differences in the quality and actual quantity of active ingredients.  There are little to no regulating bodies regarding the quality and quantification of the dosing of nutritional supplements.  The regulations ,random sampling for dosing, and quality controls we have for FDA-regulated medications do not apply to nutritional supplements.  Thus, everyone should be very cautious when selecting a nutritional product for the treatment of a condition such as arthritis. Through numerous trials and tribulations with numerous failures and frustrations, I  have found a simple, reliable source for nutritional supplements.  This is an independent, viewer-supported organization called Consumer Labs .   They take no money from the pharmaceutical industry and operate off annual subscriptions.  Consumer Labs researches supplement categories and disease conditions and provide peer-reviewed published scientific studies to support the use of specific nutritional supplements.  In addition, they provide independent, unbiased quality testing of selected products to ensure they contain the quantity of the supplement they advertise on the bottle.  Thus, this is a very good, reliable source that I use to ensure my patients receive the most appropriate, scientifically supported supplements with independently confirmed quality control. We have done the homework for you!

We have developed a straightforward nutritional program that we feel has good scientific evidence to help reduce joint pain and stimulate new cell function.

One - Stick with one simple diet. We recommend the Mediterranean diet which is easy to follow at home or in almost any restaurant. This is a diet using whole grains, vegetables, olive oil, and cold-water fish. As far as evidence, the Mediterranean diet has more evidence than any other diet to help with some of our most common health conditions such as arthritis and heart disease. If you want more information on this diet, visit: Mediterranean Diet 101

Two - Take Nitric Oxide Supplement. Nitric Oxide is essential to almost all the critical biochemical pathways involved in keeping our bodies healthy. As we age, we become deficient in an enzyme that helps convert Nitric Oxide. Replacement of this key component allows most of our biochemical pathways including stem cell pathways to work in an efficient manner. We provide free nitric oxide testing to ensure you are truly deficient and monitor your progress.  Learn more at Nitric Oxide

Three - Take our joint supplement combinations. Take our joint supplement combinations.  We provide you with the best quality, scientifically supported supplements in the easiest-to-take forms.  We also try to look for supplements that work together to provide you with a synergistic response.    We did the homework for you.
