The fluid that cushions the joints may decrease and the cartilage begins to wear away. This can limit the movement within the joints. Taking a supplement with curcumin extract, such as this one, can help to support normal joints. Both turmeric and curcumin help to support normal joints, but it is thought that curcumin has more concentrated benefits. This curcumin supplement helps to support joint health. It has 185 times greater bioavailability than standard turmeric, due to the presence of NovaSOL® Curcumin, which means that it is easily absorbed into the body and can get to work straight away. Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin, as our bodies produce it when our skin comes into contact with direct sunlight. It can be difficult to get Vitamin D, especially in the winter months, and so the NHS recommends that you take a daily Vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D helps to support calcium and phosphate levels in the body. Vitamin D supports the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function as well as the normal function of the immune system.
