Types of Dietary Supplements for Flexibility and Mobility Support

Many dietary supplements may be useful for mobility and flexibility support for healthy joints:¹

Glucosamine

Glucosamine is a natural compound that makes up cartilage, the tissue that cushions our joints.² In scientific studies, supplementation of glucosamine has shown to help support healthy joints by inhibiting collagen degradation.^1,3 As an essential component of synovial fluid, mucus membranes, and cartilage, it is a useful dietary supplement that can help support healthy joints.²Therefore, it may be a useful supplement to include in your daily routine for healthy joints.

Chondroitin

Like glucosamine, chondroitin naturally occurs in people as a component of cartilage.¹ It helps keep joints healthy by absorbing fluid into the connective tissue, and blocking enzymes that break down cartilage.⁴ This dietary supplement is commonly taken in conjunction with glucosamine and may help support joint flexibility.⁴

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has been shown to greatly benefit the body in a number of ways,⁵ by supporting the growth and restoration of tissues in your body. Vitamin C also helps form collagen,is an important protein that makes tendons and ligaments, and it is necessary for repairing cartilage.⁵ Vitamin C is also valued for its antioxidant properties.⁶

Turmeric

Turmeric is a relative of ginger known for its deep yellow-gold color and its flavor in cooking, and its nutritional value.⁷ The major component of turmeric is a natural compound known as curcumin, which has antioxidant properties.⁷
