Skeletal Health

Joint and bone health issues are also common problems for men on which sports injuries and wear and tear can lead to osteoarthritis.  Additional nutrition is often necessary to promote cartilage healing and further breakdown of joint tissues associated with osteoarthritis.  Osteoarthritis is the second leading cause of work-related disability in men over 50 years of age in the United States.

While our bodies have natural cartilage repair mechanisms, nutrition is often the limiting factor in maintaining overall joint health.  In several research studies, supplemental glucosamine (a natural compound found in joint tissue) has been shown to reduce symptoms linked to osteoarthritis and helps maintain joint health.

Even though many men tend to disregard osteoporosis, it too is a major concern for men as they age.  Ample intake of bone health promoting minerals such as calcium, magnesium, boron and manganese in conjunction with vitamin D and Vitamin K are essential for maintaining overall men’s health.
