[3] A 2018 review of studies, published in Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, reported that glucosamine may ease stiffness while chondroitin could soothe pain in people with osteoarthritis. [4] However, there have been some conflicting results, and they’re not currently recommended by NICE guidelines.

According to the European Food Safety Authority, vitamin C is needed to activate the work of enzymes making collagen – a protein in our bodies which binds cells together to provide structure and strength, and is found in skin, blood vessels, bones, gums, tendons and cartilage.

It works by curbing enzymes and other proteins that trigger inflammation in the body, according to a 2013 study by Korean researchers. [12] As a result, it’s thought curcumin may help reduce wear and tear on joints and cartilage: a 2016 study in Journal of Medicinal Food found that curcumin may help ease joint stiffness in people with arthritis.

[4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWondering how? A 2017 study by New Zealand’s University of Otago reported that vitamin C activates enzymes involved in producing collagen in the body, while also scavenging excess free radicals, for example from UV radiation, that can damage skin cells and lead to premature ageing.

[7]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike vitamin C, selenium is an important antioxidant, which means it protects cells from oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals, for example from ultra-violet radiation.

The MGO (methylglyoxal) level in Manuka Honey is derived from DHA (dihydroxyacetone) which is naturally present in the nectar of the Manuka Bush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant-derived capsule shell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a frequently used sleeping remedy for the elderly (lutoMSki, 2000). A 15-day pilot study showed that in a stressed group, Lemon balm leaf extract reduced anxiety and insomnia related to anxiety. In another study it was found that Lemon balm extract significantly reduced the time of falling asleep and extended sleep time. It was also shown that the mixture with lavender extract (Lavandula angustifolia) had a synergistic effect in terms of length of falling asleep and the sleep itself, which may be important in the treatment of insomnia (hajhaSheMi and Safaei, 2015). [1]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA separate study into the extract of stems and flowers of Lavender produced significant sedative effect compared to diazepam. [2]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is strong evidence that Hops (Humulus lupuls L.) have been used safely for over 30 years to relieve mental stress and to aid sleep and so have been approved by the Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) on their ‘traditional use’. [3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B6 plays an important role in the synthesis of amino acid GABA, tryptophan, and serotonin all of which impact sleep. [4] GABA is produced naturally in the brain. When levels of GABA increase, it suppresses the central nervous system to reduce excitability and, when bound, produces a calming effect that may support a reduction in stress anxiety, and sleeplessness. [5,6] Tryptophan is an amino acid that plays a role in the production of serotonin, the “happy hormone” that helps stabilize our mood. For this reason, vitamin B6 deficiencies have been linked to irritability, emotional disturbances, and disrupted sleep. [7,8]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is some evidence to support B12 as a regulator of the sleep-wake cycle due to its role in modulating production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, and keeping the circadian rhythms in sync. [9] The vitamin helps increase the production of melatonin during the night-time hours, as well as release it earlier, making it easier to fall and stay asleep. A study published in Neuropsychopharmacology looked at the effects of methyl- and cyanocobalamin on circadian rhythms, well-being, alertness, and concentration in healthy volunteers [10]. They found that methyl B12 (methylcobalamin) was more effective for improving daytime alertness and concentration and shortened and improved sleep patterns in healthy volunteers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSources\u003cbr\u003e [1] Katarzyna Swiader et al.
