Joint supplements have become a hot topic, especially considering the growing number of people looking for solutions to relieve pain and improve mobility. This need is due to various factors, including aging, strenuous physical activity, or medical conditions such as arthritis.

According to a study published in the Nutrition Journal ^[1], antioxidant supplements, such as those produced using microencapsulated ingredients by IPS, may offer significant benefits for knee osteoarthritis and, in general, for joints weakened by age. Among the most suitable supplements in this regard, we find those based on Vitamin D and ginger.

In fact, the former plays an important role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, fundamental elements for joint health. On the other hand, the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger relieve inflammation related to pathologies affecting the bone structure.

Other supplements which are very important for the joints’ health are those based on calcium. In fact, according to a study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine ^[2], these supplements help strengthen bone density in the short term.

A distinctive aspect of IPS is the use of microencapsulation by coacervation, a technique that offers several advantages over traditional ingredients. In fact, it allows to overcome some obstacles concerning the supplements described above, such as the strong and pungent taste of ginger, masked in this case by a gastro-resistant polymeric membrane.

But that is not all. IPS is in fact committed to guaranteeing maximum effectiveness in its products. For this reason, FlowActives® microcapsules are designed to deliver the active substance directly into the gastrointestinal tract. Here, with a controlled release, the substance will be able to carry out its action to its maximum capacity.

Joint supplements can be of great help to many people. However, it is important to choose high quality ingredients, such as those offered by IPS.
