Capsules vs Powders for joint & bone<\/h2>\n

Just to be clear, our Product of the Month is the 30 capsules version of\u00a0sense* for joint & bone.\u00a0 <\/strong>But we are going to extol the benefits in this article of the superfood supplement powder<\/strong> too.\u00a0 You then have all the information at your finger tips.\u00a0 And to be clear, in every serving of the sense* for joint & bone <\/strong>superfood supplement powder you will find the same ingredients as one sense* for joint & bone<\/strong> supplement capsule<\/strong> PLUS all the targeted superfood powders on top.\u00a0 This is the reason why our powders are called superfood supplements!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

An easy way to see the difference is by looking at the nutritional table on the back of every pack of superfood supplement powder.\u00a0 The supplement capsule\u00a0<\/strong>ingredients are in black and the superfood powders <\/strong>in aquamarine.\u00a0 Put them together and you have yourself a superfood supplement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Much better for absorption of all the nutrients into your blood stream by delivering them on a bed of superfoods.\u00a0 Remember…Total, Targeted, Absorption<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The Taste<\/h3>\n

One thing that may make you decide on capsules rather than powders is taste.\u00a0 The superfood supplement powder\u00a0for joint & bone <\/strong>is quite strong tasting.\u00a0 It will overpower some ingredients that you mix it with.<\/p>\n

The taste is of banana, ginger and turmeric, all of which are active ingredients in the formula.\u00a0 However, we needed to make it a strong flavour because of the relatively large quantities of powerful minerals included that, frankly, taste awful.<\/p>\n

sense* superfood supplement products <\/strong>are unique because we mix relevant, targeted, great tasting superfoods with (not so great tasting but highly effective) supplements.\u00a0 We do this so they taste great so that you can blend, sprinkle or stir these superfood supplement<\/strong> powders into your smoothies, yogurts or recipes.<\/p>\n

Convenience<\/h3>\n

If you are not much of a smoothie maker or you prefer toast for breakfast instead of yogurt or kefir, capsules are probably your best choice.\u00a0 Also if you are on the go a lot and don’t have a set routine.\u00a0 There is nothing worse than forgetting to take your supplements.\u00a0 If your capsules are in your handbag or coat pocket then you are sorted.\u00a0 You need to prepare powders in the kitchen, preferably your own, right?<\/p>\n

The sense* for joint & bone ethos<\/h2>\n

How was sense* for joint & bone <\/strong>formulated? What improvements is it intended to achieve?\u00a0 These intentions came from the collaboration between our founder, Jonathan and our super expert nutritionist, Dimitra.<\/p>\n

Our founder had played a lot of sport when younger, some of which resulted in injury. A number of broken bones from playing rugby for Northampton Saints, Rosslyn Park and London Welsh rugby teams.<\/p>\n

Many soft tissue injuries including skiing and training for the marathon.\u00a0 He also has participated in c 10 triathlons and attempted to swim the English channel in a relay team of 5 others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So he knew what he wanted to achieve and some of the ingredients to do it.\u00a0 Dimitra added the finesse and expertise to know which ingredients went together the best.\u00a0 Also which formats of each ingredient to use is massively important so the body absorbs them better.\u00a0 See the article on Why is Using Quality Ingredients in the right Format Required.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not a Protein powder<\/h2>\n

Our product for joint & bone <\/strong>was never intended to be a protein powder.\u00a0 There are enough of them out there, good and bad.\u00a0 But that is not to say don’t take one.\u00a0 Particularly, if you are doing lots of exercise or training for a big event.<\/p>\n

However, stay away from anything with lots of sugar or sweetener added.\u00a0 The taste is not the important thing, although there are great protein powders that use cacao as the flavouring which is a good option.\u00a0 As a vegan brand, we would also recommend that you buy plant proteins.\u00a0 Not only are they the best for your insides but also the best for the planet!<\/p>\n

Anti-inflammatory properties<\/h2>\n

What is inflammation?\u00a0 Inflammation affects everyone.\u00a0 It is created by the body\u00a0to protect against infection, injury, disease and toxins.\u00a0 <\/span>A process using such things as antibodies, proteins and increased blood flow.<\/p>\n

So is it a good thing?\u00a0 Yes it is to begin with but there are two types:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \u00a0Acute inflammation – which creates redness, swelling, pain or loss of function.\u00a0 This is usually directed at a specific injury or illness. This allows us to both fight the problem and it lets us know that the problem is there.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    \u00a0Chronic inflammation – is more subtle and long term. It is caused by such things as long term use of prescription drugs, auto-immune conditions or lifestyle choices e.g smoking, alcohol, stress & obesity. It is more difficult to detect too since it shows itself as fatigue, mental fogginess, minor pain in chest or abdomen, rashes or mouth sores.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How do you treat inflammation?\u00a0 Well, we all know about anti-inflammatory pain killers such as aspirin, ibruprofen(nurofen) and naproxen.\u00a0 These are Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat acute inflammation.<\/p>\n

    In addition,\u00a0 chronic inflammation is treated by steroidal drugs also know as corticosteroids.<\/strong><\/em> These seek to suppress the immune system particularly when it is attacking healthy tissue.\u00a0 They also have nasty side effects when used long term including damaging the gut and stomach lining, osteoporosis and reduction of vision.<\/p>\n

    As a result many people are turning to supplements to keep inflammation in check.\u00a0 sense* for joint & bone<\/strong> is one of these supplements.\u00a0 As you get older then aches and pains in joints, connective tissue and muscles is common place.\u00a0 Much of this is due to inflammation.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    However, exercise whilst beneficial overall means that the body is being tested.\u00a0 Inflammation arises from muscles being stretched, ligaments being worked and cartilage being put under pressure.\u00a0 Additional nutrition improves recovery from inflammation.<\/p>\n
