If you are going to try to deal with your joint pain without prescription medication you are going to need to attack your joint pain with healthy eating habits, exercise and supplements.
Since it would be nearly impossible to eat a diet containing all the foods that are joint healthy, I recommend adding supplements to your diet. Joint healthy supplements fight the very inflammation that causes joint pain. Browse through our below listing of joint healthy supplements and see what makes sense for you. The concept of the tiered approach, Levels 1-4, is discussed in Healthy Joints for Life.
If you haven't read the book you may be confused by the "Levels" so let me explain. There are many scientifically backed joint healthy ingredients. Including all of them at appropriate doses in one tablet or capsule is not possible. The tablet or capsule would be too large to swallow. The "levels" allow compatible ingredients to be combined in appropriate dosages in a tablet or capsule that can be swallowed easily. Check the ingredients for the different levels to help evaluate what is best for you. And consider reading Healthy Joints for Life for detailed information and direction. Check with your medical doctor before you start a supplement program.
As a devoted supplement user my biggest concern has always been whether I was getting what I was paying for. Consumer Labs has substantiated that many manufacturers sell products that do not contain the appropriate amount or even any of the raw material specified on the bottle label. That's the reason why each and every batch of my products is tested for purity and potency.
If my name is on the bottle you can be assured that you are getting authentic supplements.
The Healthy Joints for Life Monthly Program includes Levels 1A, 1B, 2, 3, & 4.

The Healthy Joints for Life supplement program supports joint health in several ways. Full advantage of the program occurs when Levels 1-4 are taken collectively but individual levels can be taken separately. When taken in combination the levels work together in unison for a result that is additive and, even more so, synergistic*!
Program goals-
**Membrane support- we are trying to populate our membranes with omega 3 fats that will be made into anti-inflammatory messengers. We are trying to make our membranes fluid and efficient
**Antioxidant support- by bolstering antioxidant levels we are trying to battle free radicals that injure cells and lead to inflammation. Studies show that NAC boosts glutathione, the body's leading antioxidant.
**NFkB- The family of Nuclear factor kappa beta related DNA regulators (transcription factors) are the main conductors of inflammation. They do their dirty work through multiple pathways, which lead to joint pain and inflammation. Our goal is to be able to balance the NFkBs.
**Metabolic support- Our overall plan is to keep our basal metabolism high so we burn lots of calories and thereby maintain our weight.
**Enzyme and building block support- In order to make strong bones and facilitate collagen production some basic vitamins and minerals are necessary.
Many of my patients ask me why I ask them to take so many pills? It's simple; you can't put a gallon in a pint-sized jar. I need you to take multiple pills because I can't fit everything that supports joint healthy in a single reasonably sized pill. If I cheated and put really small dosages then I could do it but then the program wouldn't work. My goal is to get all these ingredients working synergistically to balance traffic on the many roads that lead to "destination inflammation." It doesn't help if we balance a few roads and let traffic flow towards inflammation on others. You can't lock your front and side doors while leaving your back door open and expect your joints to be safe from "the joint pain thief" called inflammation.
*Synergy- the concept stating that combining two or more substances leads to a sum greater than the individual parts. The result is exponential! Resveratrol and curcumin are reportedly synergistic and omega 3s increase curcumin absorption. Combining levels 1B, 3 and 4 is therefore highly recommended.

This level provides omega 3s for your cell membranes, which can be converted into anti-inflammatory molecules like prostaglandin 3s. It also provides vitamin D, which helps absorb calcium and has other roles with muscle strength, insulin regulation, blood pressure control, heart health and cancer protection!!! The gamma tocotrienol subclass of vitamin E suppresses inflammatory molecules NFkB, COX 2 and iNOS.

Curcumin is a potent NFkb inhibitor that directly affects cartilage. Unfortunately, the liver quickly inactivates most curcumin supplements. BCM95 curcumin, the type used in this formulation, has been shown to maintain prolonged blood levels through its unique formulation. This level also has significant antioxidant boosting power through its support of glutathione levels. Glutathione is the body's busiest antioxidant. NAC is the most potent booster of glutathione known.

Resveratrol is an extremely exciting supplement that appears to activate SIRT1, which has NFkB inhibitory effects, fights inflammation and heightens metabolism. Boswellia's active component, AKBA is specifically standardized in this formulation. Boswellia is anti-inflammatory, blocking the inflammatory COX2 enzyme, NFkB as well as cartilage degrading enzymes.
