Movexa, from the Vitamin Boat company, is a supplement for the relief of aching joints and cartilage health. As people age – or suffer from ailments such as arthritis – they can begin to experience a number of joint problems, including pain and inflammation.
Joint problems, while generally attributed to age, can begin at any time. Movexa aims to be not only a way to relieve symptoms, but to be used as a preventative measure as well – especially for people who are living active lives (sports, running, etc.).
They use glusosamine and chondroitin in their formula, two ingredients that are known to help with many of these joint problems. Glucosamine is taken from shellfish, and mimics the work of our own glucosamine that is made inside our bodies – a building block of cartilage. When joint problems ensue, there is often not enough of this amino sugar to carry out all the necessary processes; thus, supplementation is often needed. Similar things can be said about chondroitin. When these two ingredients are working together, many experts say that users can start to rebuild some of the cartilage that has been lost.
Many formulas include some form of glucosamine and chondroitin. One of the problems in this market is that some of these companies dedicate only a very small percentage of the formula to these powerful ingredients – or they will use very low-quality forms. Movexa claims to be different; they say they use only high-quality ingredients in their formula – one of the selling points of Vitamin Boat.
They also use Calcium L-Threonate in their potent formula. It is known to play a role in making bones stronger and keeping them as flexible as possible. This can be especially beneficial for sufferers of arthritis.
Many wonderful things have been said about the benefits of ginger in recent years, thanks to all the sharing of information over the Internet. Ginger has become increasingly popular as an anti-inflammatory agent, with the effects over time often being drastic.
