Nutritional Supplements for Bones and Joints

By admin on June 12th, 2010

Nutritional supplements can strengthen bones, cartilage and joints resulting in improved flexibility, bone strength, and pain relief. Nutritional supplements have disabling effects on inflammatory arthritis and joint pain. Nutritional supplements provide the nutrients needed to lubricate joints and rebuild cartilage, resulting in reduced arthritis and joint pain. In fact nutritional supplements have become popular alternative treatments for arthritis and osteoporosis. Supplements with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D are very essential for maintaining bone health, as Calcium helps in strong bone formation, Vitamin D helps in Calcium absorption and utilization, and magnesium helps in bone formation and joint support. Vitamin supplements prevent the breakdown of cartilage. Inclusion of Boron, Copper, Silicon and Zinc in bone health supplement is essential, because Boron activates Vitamin D, and Silicon and Zinc helps in bone formation and osteoporosis support. Vitamins D, A, C, E and B3 supplements help in reducing pain and inflammation in people with osteoarthritis. Vitamin E supplements helps in significantly relieving from arthritis and joint pain. Nutritional supplements with glucosamine (glucosamine sulfate and N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine), chondroitin sulfate and crucial minerals help to build and maintain healthy, flexible cartilage which is very important for joint health. Glucosamine has become a popular natural nutritional supplement for the treatment of arthritis especially osteoarthritis.

Nutritional supplement with Omega 3 fatty acids helps people with rheumatoid and other inflammatory forms of arthritis and joint pain.

Nutritional supplements made of avocado and soybean extracts have found to reduce pain and level of disability and increase the mobility range in people with bone disease. Intake of calcium supplements daily helps in maintaining bone strength and bone density, and helps in preventing osteoporosis. The nutritional supplement with SAMe (S-Adenosyl-Methionine) which is a form of the amino acid, methionine, stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans which are important components of connective tissue. SAMe helps to maintain the quality of cartilage. Nutritional supplement with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) promotes healthy tissues & cells. If you suffer from osteoarthritis, try to include nutritional herbal supplements in your diet, along with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, folic acid, and vitamins D and vitamin E supplements. Herbal supplements like turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and flaxseed also have the same effects. Folic acid supplements decreases joint sensitivity and increases your mobility range. Vitamins D and Vitamin E supplements not only prevent the disease but also slow the progression of the disease. Magnesium supplements are important for bone and joint health and reduce some of the side effects of high levels of calcium supplementation. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are extremely helpful for osteoarthritis. If you are Rheumatoid Arthritis patient, take vitamin C supplements, herbal supplements like turmeric and ginger, and supplements with magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. Herbal supplements, and Supplements with Vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation, while magnesium supplements can suppress the spread of the disease.

Iron supplement side effects

By admin on July 22nd, 2009
  • Iron and heart disease. Some evidence suggests that iron can stimulate the activity of free radicals. Free radicals are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism that are associated with chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Free radicals may inflame and damage coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. Other researchers suggest that iron may contribute to the oxidation of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, changing it to a form that is more damaging to coronary arteries. Numerous ways has been done to test an association between iron stores and coronary heart disease. But with conflicting results, and different methods to measure iron stores, make it difficult to reach a final conclusion on this issue.
  • Iron and intense exercise. Many people who engage in regular, intense exercise such as jogging, competitive swimming, and cycling have marginal or inadequate iron status. Possible explanations include increased gastrointestinal blood loss after running and a greater turnover of red blood cells. Also, red blood cells within the foot can rupture while running. For these reasons, the need for iron may be 30% greater in those who engage in regular intense exercise.
  • Iron and mineral interactions. Some researchers have raised concerns about interactions between iron, zinc, and calcium. When iron and zinc supplements are given together in a water solution and without food, greater doses of iron may decrease zinc absorption. However, the effect of supplemental iron on zinc absorption does not appear to be significant when supplements are consumed with food. There is evidence that calcium from supplements and dairy foods may inhibit iron absorption, but it has been very difficult to distinguish between the effects of calcium on iron absorption versus other inhibitory factors such as phytate.
