Bone and Joint Health: 5 Supplements to Consider

AgingSupplementsVitamins
by Karla Socci Somers July 20, 2022
by Karla Socci Somers

Every part of the body needs vitamins and minerals to function at its best, but the bones and joints are especially needy of nutrients. As part of the natural aging process, our bodies lose calcium, cartilage and muscle tissue, which can lead to pain, stiffness and loss of movement in the bones and joints. That’s why it’s so important to eat a bone-healthy diet and add bone and joint supplements to your wellness plan. 

In this guide, we’ll go over a few of the most recommended supplements to help keep your bones and joints strong. Not only will these supplements help strengthen your bones, but they may also come with added benefits such as weight loss symptoms and symptoms of fatigue.

Get Tested and Find the Right Supplements for You!

MCHC

What if you could take a personalized supplement packed with all the things your bones are made of? That’s exactly what microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC) is! This is a highly absorbable compound that has naturally occurring components of bone, including calcium, phosphorus and other minerals. You can take the aforementioned supplements by themselves, but they won’t include the trace minerals, bone growth factors and vital bone proteins that help them work at their best. Taking them as part of a MCHC compound ensures that you get everything you need for optimal results. 

Supplement to Try with MCHC: Bone Builder® Extra Strength

Magnesium

The body uses magnesium in a variety of ways, from controlling blood pressure to steadying the rhythm of the heart. It’s also critical to healthy bone function. In fact, studies show that people with higher levels of magnesium in their system have higher levels of bone density and a lower risk of developing osteoporosis. Older adults and those with certain diseases are more likely to have a magnesium deficiency, so it’s important to supplement if needed.

Calcium

When you think about what to take for bone health, your mind probably instantly goes to calcium. This critical bone-builder is, quite literally, what bones are made of. Your body delivers calcium from your blood to a collagen framework, which together create new bone tissue. When you don’t have enough calcium, your bones become weak and less dense. This Multigenics supplement is a great option for those looking for improved bone and joint health because it has a two-to-one ratio of calcium to magnesium for the ideal bone support.

Boron

The element boron is great for your bones, but not in the same way that the aforementioned nutrients are. Rather than directly building up bones and improving density, boron is beneficial because it aids in the absorption of bone-healthy elements, including calcium and magnesium. This trace mineral is great for taking alongside these other crucial minerals.

Collagen Peptides

You likely already know that collagen can help boost your skincare routine, especially if your concern is aging. But did you know it can help improve the health of your bones too? Indeed, this hard-working protein is what makes up the cartilage that allows the bones and joints to move properly and prevents soft tissue and joint discomfort. Unfortunately, our bodies stop producing so much collagen as we age, which is why supplementation can be so important.

Vitamin D3

While taking a calcium or magnesium supplement is great for supporting your bones and joints, we always recommend going for a more complex compound that contains the micronutrients and vitamins that help the core minerals work at their best. For example, vitamin D3 helps stimulate calcium absorption in the intestines, so it can help your body get the most out of a calcium supplement.

Arming Our Bodies with the Fuel They Need

As we age, it’s critical that we fuel our bodies with vitamins, minerals and nutrients that help it continue to rebuild and regenerate. With the right bone and joint supplements, our bodies will be able to ward off pain, stiffness and weakness that hold us back in our day-to-day lives. Any of the above supplements are designed to put you on the right path.
