‘Cracking’ joints are harmless
Contrary to widespread belief, ‘cracking’ of the joints, whether intentional or not, is not serious and in no way damages the joints. Joint ‘cracking’ may be due to an expansion of synovial fluid (the liquid surrounding our joints) but has no effect on joint health. However, it can mask a more troublesome problem (such as arthritis) if accompanied by pain or swelling, in which case it should be investigated.
Joint pain increases with age
Joint disease can occur at any age but it’s obvious that joint problemsgrow older. More than one in three people aged over65 thus suffer from joint pain, primarily in the supporting joints (hips and knees) as well as in the hands.
Exercise is invaluable for preventing joint pain
Participating in sports activity is good for the joints because it maintains their mobility as well as strengthening joint structure Regular, moderate , long-term exercise is therefore excellent not only for maintaining the joints but also for improving their condition in the case of recurrent pain. This is provided that that the exercise takes the form of a relatively gentle endurance sport (swimming, cycling, brisk walking …), especially in the case of existing pain. Conversely, the wrong choice of exercise can be just as harmful
Excess weight increases joint pain
It’s a simple question of mechanics. The heavier the load, the greater the strain on the joints and the quicker they will wear out. This is particularly – though not solely - the case with the lower limbs. Thus obese people are at greater risk of arthritis of the knee and of requiring ahip replacement, but they also suffer more regularly from arthritis of the hands and wrists. Studies have shown that simply being overweight (rather than obese) may have similar consequences. This is predominantly because gaining weight tends to make us move less, aggravating our joint problems.
Plants can be a useful remedy for joint pain
Many plants are recognised for their ability totreat and/or improve painful and problematic joints. They offer benefits both as a preventivemeadowsweet which contains salicylic acid that has the same effects as aspirin, turmeric which strengthens cartilage, and horsetail which improves collagen synthesis …
Natural anti-inflammatories are an option
Are you familiar with boswellia? Known by its scientific nameBoswellia serrata, this Indian tree is widely-used in ayurvedic products to treat rheumatic pain. And with good reason too! The latest research shows that boswellia (or its resin – the part most commonly used) acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory without generating anyside-effects. Other plants known for their anti-inflammatory properties include nettle, ash, harpagophytum (devil’s claw), and white willow … and they can (under the supervision of a health professional) be a useful substitute for conventional treatment to relieve inflammation of the joints.
The joints can be affected by many diseases
Rheumatism, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthralgia - there are countless different disorders that can affect the joints. Moreover, the term « rheumatism » encompasses many different diseases. Damaged joints – whether as a result of trauma, a related disease (gout), transmission by bacteria (acute rheumatism of the joints) or by a tick (Lyme disease), or related to age or excess weight – can present various symptoms and degrees of severity.
You can ‘nourish’ your joints with carefully-targeted molecules
Several studies have shown that combining glucosamine with chondroitin, two molecules naturally present in the body and directly involved in cartilage formation and resilience, can help those suffering from osteoarthritis (results are more mixed when the two molecules are taken separately). Production of these two substances by the body is affected by age and joint disease. In such instances, supplementation (which must include a combination of the two molecules) may be a wise choice. According to a preliminary study, beneficial effects may be felt by 80% of patients, while other research has shown reductions in joint ‘cracking’, swelling and pain in the majority of patients.
Fatty acids and antioxidants play a role in joint health
You can protect against joint disease in the future or relieve pain and stiffness by eating a healthy, balanced and varied diet (which will also help prevent weight gain and thus the exacerbation of inflammatory processes), as well as by focusing on the right nutrients. Which nutrients are these? Antioxidants (found abundantly in fruits and vegetables), which combat oxidative stress and boost cell renewal of the cartilage matrix, fatty acids (present in oils, oily fish, etc) which reduce inflammation and wear and tear of cartilage, and vitamins and minerals which are essential for bone and joint formation. If you think your diet may be lacking in these essential nutrients, it’s a good idea to opt for targeted dietary supplementation.

Supersmart sell a lot of interesting stuff. More than jut the usual vitamins though they do all those as well. Ordering pretty straightforward - you may need to try a couple of times to get the offers to apply but they do work. I queried something and had a fairly quick sensible reply. Postage takes a couple if days but you do get good progress information. Very well packed. Bought from Supersmart a few times and will do so again.

Incapacité structurelle à corriger une erreur de traitement de livraison
Cela fait des années que je me fournis chez Supersmart. Ces derniers temps j'ai constaté une baisse significative de la qualité de travail et d'exécution conforme des commandes permanentes. Une erreur de paramétrage du programme robotisé de livraison m'a valu 2 réceptions d'un article non commandé en lieu et place de celui qui figure sur mon espace personnel ET sur la facture émise par Supersmart. Ensuite, la succession de tickets numérotés différents pour les demandes de rectification portant sur le même sujet s'avère être une nouvelle source d'erreur et de précisions de traitement. Cela va de mal en pis, entre délai de réponse et pertinence de celles-là ... Je suis profondément déçu et inquiet : Supersmart est basé en Espagne et son centre logistique au Luxembourg, ce qui obligerait ma PJ à saisir les 2 autorités judiciaires. SUITE À LA RÉPONSE APPORTÉE PAR ANNA : Je pense que je pourrai réintroduire la commande permanente de mes articles augmentée d'un moyen curatif pour mon épouse. La morale de cela est que rien ne vaut l'humain dans l'exécution des conditionnements pour envois... et qu'il est inapproprié de s'asseoir sur des systèmes automatisés sans contrôles.

Pueraria Mirifica / transgenre et intersexe
Transgenre (52 ans) et potentiellement intersexe au sens partiel (mosaïcisme) j'ai pris pendant 4/5 ans de la Pueraria Mirifica sans avis d'un médecin... Je suis arrivé/e à ce que je voulais ; rendre plus féminin mon aspect, arrêt des érections et des éjaculations (qui étaient déjà difficiles). Tout dépend des récepteurs hormonaux (oestrogènes) dans chaque cellules de notre corps, XX et XY et phénotypes ne veulent rien dire. J'ai une poitrine, petite, pousse système pileux ralenti. Trop tard pour ma calvitie. Reprise après une pause (20/07/2025) en me fixant 2 pills par jour pendant 6 mois.
