Your joints' allies

Joints need to be cared for differently during the day and at night: certain plants, used alone or in combination with vitamins, minerals or other compounds, help provide a tailored response for each moment of the day. 

Boswellia

The resin from this plant is one of the natural remedies widely used to treat joint problems. Its positive effects are mainly attributable to the high content of boswellic acids in the resin. 

Numerous clinical studies have shown that these acids help to reduce joint discomfort, improving quality of life. 

Collagen

Collagen is a major component of connective tissues such as cartilage and bone. There are different types of collagen, including type II collagen, which is specific to joints. Experimental studies have shown that collagen peptides are well absorbed and accumulate in cartilage. Numerous studies in humans show that oral supplementation can reduce joint discomfort. 

Turmeric 

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) has been known for thousands of years, especially in Asia, as a source of spice. It is one of the main ingredients in curry. The Turmeric rhizome, which has played a prominent role in traditional Indian medicine for centuries, has been the subject of extensive research. Turmeric rhizome is rich in polyphenols: curcuminoids. Among these, curcumin is a yellow pigment found in Turmeric. It is the main constituent commonly used as a spice and food colouring. Rich in curcumin, Turmeric is known for its action on the joints and its antioxidant properties. 

Black pepper 

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L., Piperaceae family) is one of the most widely used spices in the world, well known for its pungent compound, piperine. Black pepper has antioxidant properties. Piperine is the main alkaloid in pepper. It acts as a potentiator of Turmeric and improves its bioavailability. 

Egg Membrane 

Egg membrane powder is obtained through a patented production process. The membrane is a protective barrier, naturally rich in health-promoting elements such as collagen. 

Manganese 

The effectiveness of manganese in the formation of connective tissues (including ligaments, tendons, cartilage and bone) is recognised by the European Food Safety Authority. Manganese plays a role in maintaining healthy bones. 

Chondroitin 

Chondroitin is an essential component of cartilage and is naturally produced by the body. It contains sulphur amino acids that are essential for the formation of cartilage molecules in the human body. 

Resveratrol 

Polygonum cuspidatum is a plant known to be the richest source of resveratrol, a molecule that has been the subject of renewed interest from scientists for decades. It has been used in traditional Chinese herbal medicine for many years for its great health potential and has antioxidant properties. 

Vitamin D 

The effectiveness of vitamin D on bone health is well established. It helps maintain healthy bones. 

Harpagophytum 

Harpagophytum is a plant native to southern Africa that grows wild, particularly in the Kalahari Desert (Namibia, Botswana). It is also known as ‘Devil's claw’. Harpagophytum is traditionally used to promote joint flexibility and well-being. 

Hyaluronic acid 

Naturally present in large quantities in the joints, hyaluronic acid is the main component of synovial fluid. 

Magnesium 

Magnesium owes much to French researchers who proved that it is an essential mineral. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. 

Vitamin C 

Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, plays a role at various levels. It contributes to normal collagen formation to ensure the proper functioning of bones, cartilage and skin. 

Glucosamine 

Glucosamine is a substance naturally produced by the body from glucose and glutamine, an amino acid. The glucosamine produced in this way plays a role in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), key components of cartilage structure. When the glucosamine production process is disrupted, cartilage begins to wear away and joint discomfort occurs.
