If your body groans and creaks getting out of bed in the morning, then you’re certainly not alone, though sometimes it might feel that way! In today’s fast-paced world, where we’re all expected to be on our A-game 24/7, it can be very frustrating when our bodies just aren’t cooperating. Yet despite joint pain being incredibly common—many studies have shown almost half of American adults experience some form of joint pain at some point in their lives—it’s commonly overlooked in the medical and fitness communities. All too often, doctors will simply recommend taking some pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs, and trainers and physical therapists will just say you need to stretch better.
And doctors do have a valid point, as the root cause of joint aches and pains is usually inflammation around the joint. While anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen can ease joint pain, they also come with numerous side effects, like the disruption of the blood’s natural clotting mechanisms. All synthetic pharmaceuticals have risks and side effects that often outweigh their benefits, so we’re not satisfied with this answer. Surely there has to be a natural alternative; our bodies aren’t made to be achy, after all, are they?
It’s no surprise, of course, that anti-inflammatories also exist in the natural world. One of the most effective and well-tested is the Omega-3 fatty acid, an essential acid commonly found in fish, shellfish, and other seafood. This acid forms one of the chief components of the cell wall of almost every cell in your body. This is the key piece of microscopic infrastructure that allows your cells to bond together and form tissues such as bones, muscles, and joints. So it’s no surprise that without enough of it, parts of your body are going to start swelling and aching!
Numerous studies have shown that the typical Western diet we live on here in America doesn’t contain nearly the levels of Omega-3 acids that our body needs. No wonder many of us complain about our bodies aching—but who would have guessed there is a simple solution to our joint problems?
A Discovery in a Land Far Away
Matt Maughan, a pharmacist with over a decade of experience as a hospital pharmacist doing work all over the world, sought to find a simple solution that could be brought to the Western market. Always heavily involved in the community wherever he was, Matt observed that many health problems (and their pharmaceutical treatments) that are all too common in our society were rather rare outside the Western world.
