Healthy Knees and Joints™

How it Works:

Joints are where two bones come together, and are what allow movement. The largest joint in the body is the knee.   Like the joints in the fingers, wrists, elbows, and ankles, knee joints are surrounded by a network of ligaments and muscles which help keep them stable, and cartilage, which provides a cushioning effect. Research has found that intake of key nutrients, such as vitamin D, curcumin, boswellia, and fructoborate, help keep joints strong and moving freely.

Curcumin and Boswellia
These traditional ingredients from India are well known for their ability to promote joint health. In a clinical trial using the specific boswellia and curcumin extracts in Healthy Knees and Joints, participants experienced an  increase in their ability to walk for a distance (over a half a mile), and improved range of motion in their knees.¹

Vitamin D3
Although it is known for its ability to support bone and immune system health, vitamin D is also important for building the cartilage cushion which protects the ends of bones.²

Fructoborate
A form of boron complexed with plant carbohydrates, fructoborate has been used in clinical trials where it was found to improve joint comfort and flexibility, as well as to increase serum levels of vitamin D by 24%.^3,4

Q: Can I take Healthy Knees & Joints™ with Curamin® or other products with BCM-95® curcumin?

Yes. In fact, Curamin is an excellent foundation product to use with Healthy Knees & Joints. The BCM-95 bioavailable curcumin extract used in each product is safe to use every day.

Q: But why take Healthy Knees & Joints™ if I’m already taking Curamin®?

Because they really address different health concerns. Curamin addresses pain – the way you feel after exercise or exertion. Healthy Knees & Joints addresses flexibility and mobility. Using both can help you get the best results.

Q: Why is BosPure® screened to reduce beta-boswellic acid?

While most boswellic acids are associated with positive benefits, not all of them truly are best when you’re trying to support an active lifestyle. Ensuring at least 15% or more beneficial acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), and reducing beta-boswellic acid content, BosPure is able to provide much greater benefit than standard boswellic extracts, some of which have up to 15-25% beta-boswellic acid!

Q: What is fructoborate? Is it just the same as boron?

No, fructoborate is a clinically-studied, patented fruit mineral complex that combines borate with a calcium/carbohydrate structure. Fructoborate naturally found in fruits and vegetables is more bioavailable and enhances the body’s ability to absorb vitamin D3 by as much as 24%. It also supported increased joint flexibility in 79% of participants in a clinical trial, and 66% greater knee support.*

Although it has not been classified as an essential mineral, boron has been shown to be very important for mineral metabolism, brain function and performance, hormone regulation, and support of bone development and joint function. Avocados and peanuts are particularly rich in boron.
