THE JOINT PAIN PRESCRIPTION is a simple, 8-week programme based on this groundbreaking research. The key to the programme is a gelatin supplement that not only reduces joint pain but actually restores joints to better condition. The programme starts with a Joint Health Test, comprised of a quiz and physical tests that helps readers determine their joint health status and allows them to customise the programme to their individual needs. The programme is based on a series of simple daily steps, including the Joint Health Week Walking programme, a simple strength training programme anyone can do at home, a key to the foods and supplements that really work - and those that don't - plus a natural supplement programme proven to cut pain and increase mobility for people with joint pain or osteoarthritis.
