Start exercising again
Why?
Whether you want to prevent osteoarthritis or have already been diagnosed with it , engaging in regular physical activity doesn’t just help you maintain a healthy weight (and excess weight is another predisposing factor for osteoarthritis). Exercise also helps keep your bones and muscles in optimal condition. How? Physical activity helps muscles provide support and helps joints stay relaxed, while keeping cartilage well “nourished.”
Practical steps
If you have osteoarthritis, you should always exercise (or engage in a gentle physical activity) at an intensity that doesn’t cause you pain. What matters is the consistency of the activity, not how intense it is.. Don’t neglect exercises that strengthen muscles and be sure stretch muscles after exercising (which is essential for maintaining flexibility)
Eat fruits and vegetables
Why?
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and thus cellular degeneration. Vitamin and mineral content is also high in fruits and vegetables, and helps maintain bone and cartilage health.
Practical steps
Include fruits and vegetables in the menu for every meal, and vary them as much as possible to reap their benefits. To enhance vegetable dishes, you can use curcuma and pepper, which contain recognized anti-inflammatory compounds.
Avoid grilled foods and saturated fats
Why?
A study published in Great Britain found that grilled foods produce a detrimental effect on the body: glycation, which causes inflammation and degeneration of cartilage. Saturated fats also promote inflammation. In contrast, foods rich in omega-3 have the beneficial effect of slowing the process of cartilage wear.
Practical steps
Limit grilled foods and sautéed vegetables, don’t eat the skin from grilled chicken, and avoid fried foods. Eliminate saturated fats (such as cold cuts, palm oil, and fatty meats) and choose foods rich in omega-3 instead (such as fatty fish, flaxseed, and nut oils).
Focus on (good) plants
Why?
Certain plants are of great interest to anyone struggling with osteoarthritis pain; they include nettle root, field horsetail, arnica, and black currants. These plants have anti-inflammatory and/or analgesic properties, but they can also help overall bone health because they also have remineralizing properties.
Practical steps
You can consume these plants as herbal teas or use them in the form of mother tinctures, macerates, or poultices. Ask your herbal specialist for advice
Try food supplements
Why?
Several studies have shown the effectiveness of taking food supplements in people with osteoarthritis-related pain. Among the substances that have scientifically proven benefits, glucosamine and chondroitin are notable (look for our product NAG 500 mg. These two substances play a role in producing proteoglycans, which ensure good cartilage health. Harpagophytum (or “devil’s claw”) is also used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Practical steps
Follow the dosages indicated on the product container (some capsules should be taken between meals, others during a meal) and always continue the treatment over the long-term. The benefits take effect after several weeks or even several months of treatment.

I’m really happy with your products, but…
I’m really happy with your products. Indeed, I’ve been a customer of SuperSmart for a long time. However, I believe that lately you’ve made a significant mistake in choosing Poste Italiane for your deliveries. Poste Italiane is now over loaded and assigns the deliveries to small local companies that have grown like mushrooms because of this business. However, the service they provide is very poor. They let you know about the delivery date just the evening before, with no time to organize yourself, many times you receive a message saying that they tried to deliver but you were not home and in reality they haven’t come at all and, when they do come, you open the door of the building ( I live on the 3rd floor) and when you get downstairs they have already left, leaving the pack inside but right behind the glass door instead of at least putting it on top or under the letterbox. This is not just a one time event but it’s their way of proceeding. It would be worth hiring a professional currier. Thanks

Slow post
You have a very good range of quality products, and service is usually good. However delivery was slow due to using the national postage company. Correos. Regards David
