Nutrition, Supplements & Equipment

Nutrition

Nutrition is the process of consuming a healthy and balanced diet to provide your body the nutrients it needs for nourishment, growth, function and well-being. It also involves the study of nutrients in food, their source and their usefulness in your body.

Health Supplements

Health supplements, also referred to as dietary/food supplements or nutritional supplements, are products added to your diet to provide you with nutrients that may be missing from your diet to improve your health or wellness.

Glucosamine, Fish Oil and Curcumin

There is no cure for arthritis, but various treatments can relieve joint inflammation and pain. Glucosamine, fish oil and curcumin are supplements that have shown scientific evidence of their benefit and are often recommended as part of the treatment regimen for different types of arthritis. These supplements can reduce the need for pain medicine and have minimal side effects.

Chondroitin

Chondroitin is a natural part of healthy cartilage that helps keep joints cushioned and flexible. As a supplement, it may ease stiffness, support mobility, and promote better joint comfort, especially for people with arthritis.

Creatine

Creatine is a substance stored in muscles that provides quick energy during activity. Taken as a supplement, it can improve strength, support recovery, and boost overall energy for muscles and may also benefit brain health.
