With age or too much physical activity, joints and muscles can become stiff and painful and this contributes to decreased mobility.

Today's diet can also have a negative effect on our joints because it often includes excesses of meat, refined sugars, salts, sodas and other acidifying agents. These acids attack different tissues. Bone disorders and sensitive joints can thus be linked to excesses of acid in our tissues.

Certain plants such as harpagophytum and boswellia help to keep joints flexible and relieve stiff and/or painful joints. Silica extracted from bamboo contributes to the assimilation of calcium when digested, also to the acid-base balance. It is one of the agents that contributes to articular comfort.
