Why take a joint food supplement?


Joints are constantly under strain: during physical activity, repetitive movements at work, or simply over the years. Over time, the natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid gradually decreases, which can affect daily joint comfort.


Preserving joint health becomes a real challenge. This is where a joint food supplement makes complete sense. It helps cover the intake of essential nutrients for joint and bone tissues:



  • Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen to ensure the normal function of bones and cartilage (1).

  • Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function (2).

  • Manganese contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and connective tissues (3).

  • Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues.


These ingredients form the nutritional backbone of any serious joint formula.


Which active ingredients should you choose in a joint food supplement?


Joint food supplements combine several families of active ingredients with complementary characteristics.


Glucosamine and Phytodroïtin


Glucosamine and chondroitin are compounds naturally present in cartilage, but their production gradually decreases with age. Clinical studies are looking into their role in joint comfort (4), and these two ingredients are commonly combined in joint food supplements. Our complete joint formula brings together 500 mg of glucosamine sulfate and 400 mg of Phytodroïtin™, a plant-based alternative to chondroitin.


Marine collagen and hyaluronic acid


Collagen is the most abundant protein in cartilage and connective tissues, while hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the synovial fluid that surrounds and protects the joints. These two compounds, whose concentration decreases with age, provide substances that make up joint tissues.


Vitamin C completes the formula by contributing to the normal formation of collagen to ensure the normal function of bones and cartilage (1). Our Naticol® marine collagen powder is one of the flagship ingredients in the collection.


Turmeric and traditionally used plants


Turmeric, devil's claw, and boswellia are plants traditionally used for joint comfort in various traditions, particularly Ayurvedic and African ones. They are often included in joint formulas to complement the intake of vitamins, minerals, and other targeted compounds. However, ANSES highlights potential interactions between turmeric and anticoagulant treatments: medical advice is required before starting any supplementation if you are currently undergoing treatment.


MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)


MSM is a sulfur compound naturally present in the body. It is involved in the composition of connective tissues, including cartilage and tendons. Our OptiMSM® MSM powder is a patented form of American origin, one of the most studied in the scientific literature on this compound.


How to preserve joint health on a daily basis?


Supplementation is part of a holistic approach. To preserve joint health on a daily basis, physical activity and diet remain the two primary levers. Certain nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, manganese, and copper can then complement this foundation, in support of an already consistent routine.


The importance of appropriate physical activity


Movement maintains the joints and helps preserve their flexibility on a daily basis. Low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, and swimming are particularly beneficial, as they engage the body without excessive impact. At the same time, good muscle tone helps better support the joints. For athletes, progressive warm-up and careful recovery help limit excessive strain.


Adopting a diet that supports joint comfort


Some foods contribute to micronutrient intakes useful for joint tissues:



  • Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardine) and nuts provide omega-3. Oily fish also provide vitamin D, as does egg yolk.

  • Citrus fruits and kiwi provide vitamin C, which contributes to the normal formation of collagen to ensure the normal function of bones and cartilage.

  • Whole grains and dried fruits are rich in manganese.

  • Offal and seafood provide copper and zinc.

  • Good daily hydration completes this approach.


Food supplements do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle (5). They do not replace medical advice: in case of persistent joint discomfort or unusual symptoms, consult a healthcare professional. If you are undergoing medical treatment, particularly anticoagulants, ask your doctor or pharmacist before any supplementation, as some plants (turmeric, devil's claw) may interact with these treatments.

Your questions about joint supplements

Joint food supplements

Why take joint supplements?

Simply to improve joint mobility and reduce joint discomfort by providing essential nutrients for joints, bones and cartilage. Joint supplements also help tojoint flexibility, which makes your daily movements easier. Another advantage: they can also have effects anti-inflammatory, which help soothe sensitive joints.

In addition, these joint supplements are particularly beneficial for people who regularly engage in intense physical activities, or for people over 65, whose age often leads to loss of cartilage.

What are the main causes of joint discomfort?

The joint discomfort can be caused by a variety of factors. Age-related is a common cause, as joints naturally undergo degradation over time.

The intense and repetitive physical activities are likely to cause joint pain, due to the constant impact on the joints and cartilage (when running for example).

Afterwards, injuries(sprains, fractures, etc.) can also damage joints and cause discomfort. Certain hereditary or genetic conditions also predispose individuals to joint problems. Being overweight is another explanatory factor, as it increases pressure on joints, particularly those of the knees and hips.

Finally, some sedentary lifestyle habits lead to muscle weakness around the joints, which naturally increases the risk of joint discomfort.

What are the main ingredients to look for in joint supplements?

When looking for joint supplements, there are certain ingredients to look for.

Real "natural glue", collagen is essential for maintaining the structure of cartilage and bones. The methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), is known to replenish the body's sulfur reserves (present in particular in the joints).

On the vitamin side, we can mention : vitamin D, important for bone density and joint support, but also vitamin C, particularly for its supporting role in the formation of collagen discussed above.

How does hyaluronic acid promote joint lubrication?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, primarily in the synovial fluid that surrounds joints. It plays a major role in lubricating joints by attracting and retaining water, which increases the viscosity and elasticity of synovial fluid.

This helps reduce friction between joint cartilage during movement, making it perfect for better joint mobility and a decreased discomfort !

Why is collagen essential for joint comfort?

Collagen is a fundamental protein for the maintaining the structure and of the joint strength, bones and cartilage. It makes up a large part of articular cartilage, which is the flexible tissue between the bones of the joints.

Collagen helps maintain the integrity and resilience of this cartilage, allowing joints to function properly and withstand daily loads and movements.

As we age, our natural collagen production declines, which can lead to cartilage breakdown and increased joint discomfort. This is one of the reasons why joint supplements are particularly welcome for older adults.

How to choose your food supplement for joints?

There are several factors to consider when making your choice.

First, look for key ingredients such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and MSM, among others, which are known to support joint flexibility and reduce discomfort. Make sure the product contains high quality ingredients, to the proven effectiveness, but also and above all ineffective dosages!

Check the certifications obtained and the user reviews to assess the reputation and effectiveness of your joint food supplement, and if possible, the origin of the products. Finally, be aware of possible allergens and intolerances, and choose a product that suits your diet and lifestyle.

What is the best dietary supplement for joints?

In case of joint discomfort, Novoma offers several joint food supplements that can help you:

  1. Marine Collagen Powder : rich in types I and III collagen peptides, highly bioavailable, this supplement helps to strengthen cartilage and bones, and therefore improve joint mobility.

  2. Hyaluronic Acid : it contributes to the lubrication of joints, and thus reduces friction and joint discomfort. We combine it with vitamin C to support normal collagen formation at the same time.

  3. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) powder : a pure and patented form of MSM, OptiMSM®. Its high organic sulfur content ensures maximum effectiveness!

  4. Paracelsus Complex : we have selected several key ingredients in this complex, such as choline, bamboo, and a combination of 7 B vitamins, to ensure you have complete joint support.

  5. Vitamin D3 : essential for bone density and good calcium absorption, it helps maintain strong bones. We have chosen a form extracted from algae for a completely vegan and sustainably processed supplement.

Can collagen and glucosamine be combined?

Yes, this combination is even recommended because these two ingredients are complementary. Collagen provides the structural elements while glucosamine promotes their assembly. Our joint formula relies on this synergy.

Which dietary supplement is most effective against joint pain?

Scientific research confirms that the glucosamine-chondroitin combination remains the gold standard for mild to moderate joint pain. Adding turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties and collagen for structural support can enhance its overall effectiveness.

How to promote cartilage regeneration naturally?

Cartilage regenerates slowly, but certain nutrients can support this process: vitamin C (for collagen synthesis), glucosamine and chondroitin (for structure), and omega-3 fatty acids (for their anti-inflammatory effect). A comprehensive approach combining supplementation, physical activity, and a balanced diet is the most effective.
