Whether you’re trying to prevent bone loss or already living with a bone and joint issue such as osteoporosis or arthritis, there are many foods, supplements and products shown to be effective in building stronger bones and cartilage and reducing joint pain. It’s never too early or late to stop bone loss for better posture and fewer fractures down the road.

Nutritional Supplements

Available in a variety of forms, look for supplemental nutrients essential for your bone and joint health — including glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM.

Multivitamins

Anyone can benefit from taking a multivitamin, but it’s even more important if you have bone and joint issues. Pick a multivitamin that best supports the nutrients needed to keep your bones and joints strong such as calcium and vitamin D.

Vitamins A-Z

Both calcium and vitamin D are critical for protecting your bones and joints. Surveys show 90% of women don’t get the recommended amount of calcium daily, with most only getting half of what they need. Low calcium intake, coupled with inadequate vitamin D, greatly increases the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. Look for bone and joint formulas that include both calcium and vitamin D for optimum impact.
