Do you want flexible connective tissues and a more youthful tone to your skin? The answer might surprise you! Hyaluronic Acid (HA) may be a challenge to pronounce but it's an essential body component that offers you "youthful" benefits.
This slippery substance that your body makes naturally to lubricate joints and add a dewy glow to your skin is well-known to science. Injections of HA help some with joint pain due to arthritis and trauma that damages the joint lining. Adding HA to topical creams and cosmetics has been the norm for more than a decade. Since you make less HA with age, it makes sense that adding HA back into your health routine could help you feel and look younger than your years. You can easily do this by taking an oral HA supplement that works from the inside out.

Be more flexible. Move more freely.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common arthritis, affecting 32 million US adults. While age is a common factor, trauma can cause premature arthritic changes in your younger years.
OA can be painful, with inflammatory degenerative damage to joints and cartilage over time. Loss of mobility is common, especially in the knees. Often non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs)offer the only relief for many. But NSAIDs also carry the unwelcome risks of GI bleed and liver dysfunction with long-term use.
There's a safer alternative to staying mobile.

Doing a movement or task that is beyond the body’s physical capacity which results in an injury or insult to the musculoskeletal system. This system of bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles and other connective tissue is responsible for normal body support and movement.
We've all done it. Weekend warriors. Long hours on the job. Lifting a heavy object. Even playing with the kids, trying to pretend we're younger and more flexible than we really are. A move gone wrong and the pain that follows reminds us we shouldn't have done that.
Hopefully, there's no broken bones and you only need a bit of rest to get your mobility and strength back. The optimal way to speed along your recovery and minimize the pain is by reducing the inflammation caused by the injury. Before you reach for over the counter remedies that may cause GI or tummy irritation, however, consider these natural options and helpful suggestions to help yourself avoid future injury.
