The optimal supplement for joint health should contain a combination of vitamins A, C, E, and a B complex as well as zinc, selenium, and copper. 

Vitamin A plays a role in the production of proteins that strengthen joint tissue. 

Similarly, vitamins C and E are rich in antioxidants that protect the joints from harmful toxins that can damage joint tissue. Both of these vitamins also boost the production of collagen, which is a protein that promotes strong bones and cartilage. 

Furthermore, a B complex that contains B1, B2, B6, B12, and Niacinamide provides several benefits that include: 

•  Increased energy levels
•  Improved health of joint tissue and nerves in the joints
• Protection of joint tissue from free radical (e.g., toxins) damage
• Enhanced blood flow throughout the body including to the joints 
• Reduced inflammation and swelling that may contribute to joint pain

Furthermore, zinc promotes the growth of cells in joint tissue, which enhances the repair of damaged cartilage and helps maintain healthy joints.

In some cases, people who do not consume adequate amounts of zinc, selenium, or copper, experience joint problems because these nutrients prevent tissue damage. Therefore, it is important to take a supplement containing these ingredients every day.

Glucosamine sulfate supports proper joint function by lowering the levels of proteins that tend to worsen joint inflammation and stiffness, while chondroitin sulfate is a carbohydrate that helps cartilage retain water and this process provides protective cushioning for the body’s joints. 

Clinical research even shows that the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin boosts joint healing, mobility, and flexibility due to their ability to help target inflammatory processes that are associated with pain and stiffness.
