Snap, Crackle, OUCH!

Ease Your Joint Flare-Ups*

Have you ever stood up from a chair, then under protest, your joints scream at you with a snap, crackle and pop? If so, you’re not alone. As we get older, life’s simple pleasures like gardening or playing with grandkids can make you feel like you just ran an Olympic event! There is no need for this to retire you from life. With the right nutritional care and lifestyle support, the joys of movement can be celebrated again, transforming every step into a source of freedom rather than frustration.*

Why Me?

One day you're bouncing out of bed and the next your knees are whispering sweet reminders of the years that have gone by. Ahh, the joys of aging… What gives? Beneath these sensations lies a deeper story that your body wants to tell. And more importantly, it's an opportunity to explore how restoring nutritional balance in your body can help bring back the vitality your joints once had.*

As we age, those helpful hormones, testosterone and estrogen, start to take a dip, making it tougher to maintain healthy cartilage and manage a healthy inflammatory response during times of stress.* Over time, this inflammation can create an oxidative stress that can work quietly beneath the surface, slowly eroding our protective padding that keeps our joints flexible and mobile. Our ability to digest food and absorb essential nutrients (that help manage this inflammatory response and keep oxidative stress in check), slowly declines with age.* Now, add in the effects of stress, lack of sleep, and some other bumps and bruises along the way, and it’s no surprise our joints don't feel as springy as they used to. No worries though, they are just needing a little extra love!

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About: Corticosteroid Injections

If you have joint discomfort, it's likely you've been offered steroid injections, but this quick fix could come at a long-term cost. Research suggests this may not be the best short or long-term option. While these injections may or may not ease discomfort momentarily, you risk further damaging your cartilage and speeding up arthritis progression. Instead of chasing short-term relief, experts are suggesting a more sustainable approach to support your joints naturally!*

Foundations for Health: Provide The Essentials Early

The key to keeping your joints healthy isn’t about a quick fix to try to treat the pain when it strikes -- it's about giving them the "TLC" they need every day.* The secret? Slow and steady wins the race! It’s about nourishing your joints early on (before the symptoms get bad), at a foundational level, with essential nutrients that are the necessary building blocks so they stay strong for years to come.*

The Triumphant Trio

Nourishing your body with the three natural ingredients can be a sustainable solution in laying the groundwork for getting yourself back on the offense and maintaining joint strength and flexibility for years to come.*

1. Alaskan Cod Liver Oil: Ever wonder why cod liver oil is a renowned joint health superstar? It’s all thanks to its naturally occurring Omega-3s and vitamins A and D.* When Cod Liver Oil is provided in its most natural triglyceride form, these whole food nutrients work by promoting joint function and supporting a healthy inflammatory response.* Only the all-natural triglyceride form of Cod Liver Oil (not the ethyl ester form), has the biological activity of Omega-3's (DHA and EPA).  These Omega-3s provide naturally occurring pro-resolving mediators (PRMs), like resolvins, protectins, and maresins, to help the body manage inflammation naturally.* Additionally, when Cod Liver Oil is manufactured to maintain its triglyceride backbone (as AzureWell’s Alaskan Cod Liver Oil does), it creates the perfect fatty acid matrix to deliver naturally occurring vitamin A (as retinol) and vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) to aid in bone and joint health, and tissue repair.* Together, these nutrients help maintain the integrity of cartilage, reduce joint stiffness, and promote overall joint comfort and flexibility.*

2. Glucosamine Sulfate: This unique formulation (which does not come from shellfish), acts as a precursor for proteoglycans which ensures the robustness and flexibility of cartilage.  Proteoglycans are crucial for joint function.* Glucosamine Sulfate also acts as a catalyst in the production of hyaluronic acid, promoting joint lubrication and fluid motion, thus reducing wear and tear on joints.*

3. Pure Collagen:  AzureWell’s Pure Marine Collagen features a hydrolyzed collagen which delivers bioavailable peptides and amino acids, like glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline.  These are essential for rebuilding and repairing cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.* This amino acid and peptide matrix from hydrolyzed collagen provides essential building blocks of type II collagen, which maintains the structural integrity and elasticity of cartilage.* Hydrolyzed collagen also naturally promotes the production of hyaluronic acid, enhancing joint lubrication and cushioning.* By contributing to the health of joint tissues and supporting a healthy inflammatory response, hydrolyzed collagen helps alleviate joint stiffness, improving mobility, and protecting against cartilage degeneration.*

What Science Is Saying About Andrographis vs. Turmeric

AzureWell’s Ease & Comfort for Joint & Tissue features a patented extract of Andrographis paniculata which studies are suggesting is faster (and perhaps even more biologically effective) in managing healthy joint function than turmeric’s curcuminoids!* Researchers are fascinated by this herb's ability to promote PPAR-γ, a key protein that helps naturally balance NF-kB activity - the body’s trigger for our inflammatory response systems.* When NF-kB is properly regulated, its harmful chemicals like COX2, prostaglandins, and interleukin-6 don't get out of hand, helping to ease joint flare-ups and better manage a healthy inflammatory response.
