90% degenerative changes have been achieved... Don't know?
There are more than 140 joints in the human body, and the number of joints that move is about 100,000 times a day. As a result, joints begin to age much younger than we realize, and by the time we reach our 40s, 90% of them undergo degenerative changes. The problem is that more than 70% of people who do have degenerative changes don't know they have degenerative changes in their joints. In fact, it is said that it takes about 20 months for arthritis to be diagnosed.
When it comes to joints, you don't just have to pay attention to your knees and fingers!
When we think of joints, we often think of the knee, finger, and ankle joints, but there are many complex joints behind the vertebrae as well as the limbs. If you have neck or back pain, you often suspect a herniated disc, but in order for the disc to cause pain, the disc protrudes a lot and has to press on the nerve. Most pain around the spine is caused by arthritis around the vertebrae.
Arthritis is three times more common in women than in men
Arthritis is three times more common in women than in men. Women are born with weak bones, but they are also born with weak muscles and ligaments that support their joints. In addition, pregnancy and childbirth put a strain on the joints, and arthritis occurs a lot, especially if you repeatedly bend your fingers and bend your knees throughout your life while doing housework. The worst behavior for your joints is squatting or bending. In recent years, arthritis in men has more than doubled in the past four years due to increased leisure activities (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2012).
The best time to take care of your joints is before the damage progresses
Joints often have no subjective symptoms even if 70% of the cartilage is worn out, so it is important to take good care of the damage before it progresses. In addition, once cartilage is damaged, it is difficult to regenerate. This is because there are no blood vessels inside the cartilage. The only way to get nutrients into your cartilage is with proper exercise. Just as you need to press down on a sponge to let water seep in, you need constant light exercise to get nutrients into the cartilage.
If you're reluctant to exercise...
However, arthritis causes pain and stiffness around the joints, making you reluctant to exercise. This is where nutritional supplements can help. The main purpose of arthritis supplements is to reduce inflammation in the joints and relieve pain and improve joint function.
01
Reducing joint inflammation
Omega-3!
Omega-3s, which are known to be heart-healthy nutrients, also help reduce inflammation in the joints. Omega-3s are recommended for patients with rheumatoid arthritis as well as degenerative arthritis. Typically, you can take two capsules of 1,000 mg per day. For joint health, it's better to take omega-3s alone with a joint supplement that can reduce inflammation and pain. However, if there is edema or acute inflammation due to arthritis, it is difficult to control it with nutritional supplements alone, so it is recommended to take analgesic anti-inflammatory drugs with less gastrointestinal disorders for a certain period of time.

The secret of New Zealand's Maori...
Green-lipped mussel
Green-lipped mussels are a favorite shellfish of New Zealand's Maori people. Scientists have noticed that Maori have healthy joints with bloated upper bodies, and they have found the cause in green-lipped mussels. Green-lipped mussel oil is made from green-lipped mussels that are farmed and extracted from their oil. Green-lipped mussel oil reduces the production of inflammatory substances in the joints, such as leukotrienes, and prevents them from traveling through the blood vessels. In fact, when one joint becomes inflamed, many people complain of pain all over the place, but this is not a faking disease, but rather an inflammatory substance circulating through the blood vessels.
Choose a formulation that doesn't contain unnecessary emulsifiers
Since green-lipped mussel oil is also an oil, it should not be subjected to high heat during the making process like omega-3s. It is recommended to choose a formulation that has been extracted through lyophilization or supercritical extraction methods without the use of unnecessary emulsifiers.
03
Reducing the formation of inflammatory substances
MSM
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) can be taken 1.5~2g daily to support joint and cartilage health. It blocks the transmission of pain impulses through the neural networks of the joints and reduces the production of inflammatory substances such as cytokines. Among the components of the joints there is sulfur, which is usually not easy to get from food. MSM contains sulfur, which can be expected to play a role in supplying cartilage like chondroitin.
04
From a long time ago until now,
Glucosamine & Chondroitin
It is a preparation that has long been widely known as a joint nutrient. If you take 1.5~2g of glucosamine and 1.2g of chondroitin sulfate daily for more than 3 months, you can expect some improvement in moderate joint pain.
