When I was younger, I would often hear older people complain of bone/joint pain and call it “rayuma”. Technically, rhuematism can actually be used to describe various conditions that cause pain and inflammation in joints and surrounding tissues. I had never really needed to think about my bone and joint health until I reached my late 40s. Suddenly, there are times my joints would feel mildly sore when I wake up in the morning. I wouldn’t call it “rayuma” though. I attribute it to the decline in estrogen that comes with aging and huhuhu perimenopause. But that’s just me.
There are many other reasons why people can suffer from bone and joint pain though sadly most are related to aging. My husband’s grandfather had mobility issues. It was painful for him to walk. However, taking glucosamine helped him a lot and he could move more freely with this supplement.
LAC, a leading brand of health and wellness supplements, actually has OTC (over-the-counter) solutions for such conditions. For bone and joint health they have:
LAC FullCal® – This is a highly absorbable Calcium Citrate supplement that comes in convenient sticks. You can either ingest the powder directly or mix it with water. Personally, I like the citrus taste so I think direct consumption is the way to go. I actually prefer this to tablets or pills. LAC FullCal supports bone strength, joint health, teeth, and muscle function for better mobility.
LAC Joint Protec™ – Formulated with Glucosamine and Chondroitin, LAC Joint Protec helpes relieve joint stiffness and discomfort. It’s enhanced with Collagen, Calcium, Vitamin D3, Cat’s Claw Extract, and Pineapple Essence to strengthen connective tissues and support long-term joint health. This supplement comes in a delicious jelly form for easier ingestion, especially for seniors. I have not yet tried this as I am not yet at the point where I experience difficulty walking but it’s good for the seniors around me.
These supplements are available online at https://www.lac.com.ph/. You can also purchase from physical stores located all over the country. Find the LAC Store nearest you HERE.
LAC offers a wide variety of supplements which address various health concerns.
