Curcumin-rich bestsellers for joint and muscle health

We tend to think of joint and muscle health as something that preoccupies serious athletes and runners instead of regular folks. After all, many of us don’t even think about the state of our joints or cartilage as we go about our days. 

But did you know that even regular wear and tear (i.e. doing any physical activity whatsoever) can put a ton of stress on your joints? Plus, the wear and tear we experience with age reduces the beneficial cartilage that serves as a cushioned buffer between our joints. 

So while there isn’t much we can do to reverse the effects of time, we can try to maintain our joint health with a powerhouse nutrient known for a host of beneficial properties: curcumin. 

You may know curcumin as potent extract of turmeric, a spice that’s popular in curry and many Indian dishes. Curcumin is an important nutrient with a host of benefits, one of which includes being a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
