Organika Premium Liga-Joint 180 Capsules

Movement is something that we take for granted, until it starts to be noticeable. Little aches and twinges can become debilitating aches and pains. Organika’s Liga-Joint Premium is a synergistic combination to support cartilage and joint health to restore mobility and movement in your day.

Glucosamine, a monosaccharide, is one of the natural compounds found in cartilage. As it is also high in chitin, it’s harvested from shellfish shells. It’s known for supporting the structure and function of joints, making it beneficial for those who suffer from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic sulfur-containing nutrient known for its benefits in decreasing inflammation and joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Sulfur is present in the amino acids cysteine, cystine and methionine; the B vitamins biotin and thiamine; the powerful antioxidant glutathione; and in the protein keratin, required for healthy skin, hair and nails. Sulfur is required for collagen production, for the strength and structure of all connective tissues.

Collagen is the most plentiful form of protein in your body, and acts like the “glue” that holds it together. With age, collagen formation declines naturally, leading to a loss of elasticity, strength, and tone throughout the body. Organika’s Liga-Joint Premium helps address low collagen levels that contribute to many aspects of your overall health, such as skincare and premature aging, joint and bone health, gut health, and sports recovery. It provides hydrolyzed type 2 chicken collagen to offer nutritional support for the health of connective tissues such as skin, joint, tendon and ligament.

Organika has also included barley powder in this formula. This grass is pressed and dehydrated to make a powerful green powder, containing high quantities of chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Besides good amounts of calcium and iron, it also contains the mineral selenium, beneficial for skin elasticity and rejuvenation.

Combine these ingredients together, and you have a powerful combination of nutrients and raw materials to support joint health and recovery.

Q: Sulfur sounds important. Can I also get it in my diet?
A: Absolutely. Many excellent whole foods, like the allium family (garlic, onions, leeks etc.), the cruciferous family (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, etc.), nuts, seeds, dairy products and eggs contain sulfur for the body’s daily uses.

Q: What are the different types of collagen, and what are they used for?
A: We have 27 different types of collagen, but there are three types that we use in the most abundance. Type 1 Collagen primarily goes towards the health of our hair, skin and nails, and is found in marine and bovine skins. Type 2 Collagen works best at building connective tissues, ligaments and cartilage, and is high in poultry bones and cartilage. Type 3 Collagen builds muscles and organs and is found in bovine hides.

Q: If collagen is such an abundant protein, why would I need to supplement?
A: As we age, our endogenous collagen formation naturally decreases. This can be up to 50% by the time we hit age 45. The more active we are, the more of these collagen peptides we need to heal after exercise and sport. Plus lifestyle choices that promote free radical damage like smoking, chronic stress and chemical exposure from our food, water, and personal care products can use up our collagen faster. All these losses can contribute to signs of premature aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, brittle nails, cellulite and dry skin, as well as joint and ligament issues like injuries, weakness and arthritis.

Q: Have we always been deficient in collagen? Why do we need to supplement now?
A: Collagen used to be quite prevalent in our diet, when we used and ate more of the whole animal. Natural collagen sources like skin, bones, joints and organs were all used regularly in cooking. A long-simmering bone broth or slow-cooked meat on-the-bone stew can provide an abundance of collagen and gelatin. We’re also not cooking at home from scratch as much. Supplementation can make up for our lack of traditional ways of cooking.

Q: Is Organika’s Liga-Joint Premium suitable for vegetarians?
A: Unfortunately no. It contains shellfish and chicken cartilage and is packed in a gelatin capsule. Consider Organika’s Boswellia Curcumin Complex, Curcumin or Plant-based Collagen Booster for a vegan-friendly way to support joint health.
