Muscle Health support  

Muscle health is something we require in order to support our lifestyle. Whether we are sitting at a desk all day, standing for long periods or working a physically demanding job, we often need nutrients like magnesium, to support tired, stressed muscles. Muscle health support is an important thing when we are physically active, supporting our muscles from either exercise or lifting heavy objects incorrectly. Skeletal muscles require regular nutritional support to remain healthy and fully functional and we need to assist the muscles naturally, to support recovery and optimal muscle mass. 

Muscle Health Support Nutrients

  • Turmeric (Curcuma longa) the active constituent ‘curcumin,’ offers antioxidant benefit for muscle health and function.   
  • Omega 3 offers essential fats that help support muscle recovery, support and comfort. 
  • Amino acids are essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine can help to build muscle, support energy in the muscle tissue and support muscle recovery from physical exercise. Amino acids such as carnitine and taurine may also benefit a healthy heart and skeletal muscle  
  • Vitamin D is a necessary fat-soluble vitamin that works as a cofactor with magnesium to support general muscle health and function.  
  • Magnesium is a specific, ‘relaxing’ mineral that helps support the contractibility of muscle tissue. This mineral is specific to supporting muscles after exercise and supporting tired, tight muscles due to stress.
