If you’ve researched joint health, you’ve undoubtedly heard many claims about the glucosamine and chondroitin combination.

Note: We’ve written previously about why many of those claims are misleading.

But there’s an innovative joint health ingredient you may not have heard of yet: AprèsFlex®.

AprèsFlex® has a fascinating, science-backed story of efficacy, and that ’s the topic of this article.
Let’s dive into the key reasons why AprèsFlex® is becoming the gold standard for joint comfort and why it’s the hero ingredient in Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Joint formula.*

What is AprèsFlex®?

Boswellia tree - frankincense - flower buds

AprèsFlex® is a next-generation extract of Boswellia serrata, a resin used for centuries in traditional medicine to ease joint discomfort and promote flexibility. But what sets AprèsFlex® apart is its unique ability to ease discomfort in as little as five days—a claim backed by multiple clinical studies.* As well as Stonehenge Health‘s in-house user group.

Let’s look closely at the science driving this joint health game changer.

The Science Behind AprèsFlex®

Joint discomfort and stiffness are often the results of everyday wear and tear. AprèsFlex® works to address this by targeting this at the source.*

Certain pathways in the human body release chemicals that can cause acute inflammation. One specific pathway is the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. Numerous studies have shown that Boswellia serrata can block this pathway from causing joint impairment.*

What makes AprèsFlex® unique is that it contains potent Boswellia serrata extracts standardized to contain a higher concentration of active compounds (AKBA) compared to standard Boswellia extracts.

This enhanced formula improves bioavailability—meaning it’s absorbed more effectively into the bloodstream, allowing the body to experience faster and more efficient relief from joint discomfort.*

Clinical studies show that AprèsFlex® works rapidly, with noticeable improvements in joint comfort, mobility, and function within 5 days of use.*

Even better? The benefits continue to build over time with consistent use, leading to lasting ease and improved mobility. This makes it an ideal ingredient for supporting long-term joint mobility and comfort.*
OK, so that’s the science of AprèsFlex®. But what does that look like for you; what types of changes can you expect in your day-to-day life?

3 Key Benefits of AprèsFlex® for Joint Health

Now that you understand how AprèsFlex® works, let’s break down the specific ways it can enhance your joint health:

1. Reduces Joint Discomfort

3. Long-Term Joint Support

AprèsFlex® doesn’t just provide temporary support; with continued use, it promotes long-term joint health by addressing the underlying causes of acute inflammation.* This means you can enjoy better joint function and comfort for years to come.*

This ‘Smoothie Bowl’ Recipe Will Put a Spring in Your Step and give your joints some love

As you know, I’m a big fan of smoothies, but if I want a little more substance, I will opt for what I’ve started calling a “Smoothie Bowl.” It’s a mix between a smoothie and a bowl of oatmeal.

The one I’m going to share with you today is delicious and contains joint-supporting ingredients to put a pep in your step.

Some of the key ingredients for joint health in this smoothie include:

• Turmeric and ginger, which have been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.

• Chia seeds are rich in fiber and Omega 3 fatty acids, and they contain nutrients that may help with joint health, including zinc, and copper.

• Healthy fats including avocado, almond butter, flaxseeds and walnuts which provide healthy fats that keep your joints lubricated and flexible.

Here’s what you need:

Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Ingredients (Makes 2 servings):

• 1 cup spinach

• 1/2 avocado

• 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1 banana (frozen)

• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

• 1 tablespoon almond butter

• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

• 1 tablespoon flaxseeds

• Fresh berries and sliced banana for topping

• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Directions:

1. Blend the base:

• In a blender, combine the spinach, avocado, blueberries, frozen banana, almond milk, chia seeds, turmeric, ginger, and almond butter.

• Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

2. Assemble the bowl:

• Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl.

3. Add the toppings:

• Top the smoothie with chopped walnuts, flaxseeds, fresh berries, and sliced banana.

4. Drizzle (Optional):

• If desired, drizzle a little honey over the top for added sweetness.

Take Your Joint Health to the Next Level

I don’t know about you, but I try to get as much of my nutrition from my food as possible. This can be difficult, however—while this recipe is full of foods like flax seeds and turmeric that have properties to support your joints, it’s missing an ingredient that’s clinically proven to help you optimize joint health:*

ApresFlex®.

AprèsFlex^® is derived from the sap of Boswellia serrata, an incredible tree used for centuries in traditional wellness practices. Modern science has taken this ancient wisdom and refined it into a highly potent extract that supports optimal joint function and an end to the constant discomfort in as little as 5 days.*

But you’re not going to find this ingredient in many recipes, which is why the team at Stonehenge Health has made it even easier to get the perfect serving of this ingredient with one of our most advanced formulas yet: Dynamic Joint.

If you’ve ever experienced any joint discomfort when climbing the stairs, standing up out of chair, or trouble doing the activities you love, I urge you to give Dynamic Joint a try.*

Feel the results in as little as 5 days.*

Stay in the Game: Managing Joint Discomfort for Pickleball Lovers

Which sport results in 67,000 emergency room visits per year?

If you guessed football, soccer, basketball, baseball, or hockey, you’d be wrong…

The answer is also America’s fastest growing sport:

Pickleball.

The vast majority of these injuries are happening to people over 60 years old, and it’s taking quite the toll. And for the record, I have nothing against pickleball. We’ve written several articles on the sport, and I occasionally play with my husband and our friends—it’s a fun game.

But the numbers don’t lie, and as with all physical activities, there are risks involved with participating. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do. In fact, with the right preparation, you might be able to elevate your pickleball game while also moving with more fluidity and less joint discomfort than you’ve felt in years.

But before we discuss solutions to these types of injuries, let’s start at the beginning.

The Rise of Pickleball Among Older Adults

Pickleball has rapidly become a favorite sport among older adults, with its combination of simplicity, low-impact exercise, and social interaction. Many communities now have dedicated pickleball courts, and it’s common to see players well into their 50s, 60s, and beyond enjoying the game.

It comes with plenty of benefits:

• Social Interaction: Pickleball fosters a strong sense of community. Players often form bonds that extend beyond the court.

• Cardiovascular Health: The sport offers a great cardiovascular workout, improving heart health without the strain of high-impact sports.

• Mental Well-being: Staying active and engaged in a sport can boost mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

But as I mentioned earlier, it’s not without drawbacks, particularly joint discomfort.

Understanding Joint Discomfort

Approximately 90 million Americans suffer from joint discomfort. There are a few common causes you’re likely familiar with:

• Arthritis: A common condition in older adults, characterized by swelling of the joints, causing discomfort and stiffness.

• Tendonitis: Irritation of a tendon, often due to overuse, leading to tenderness around the joint.

• Past injuries: Previous injuries can lead to chronic joint issues and increase the likelihood of joint problems resurfacing or worsening over time.

Joint discomfort often manifests as sharp or aching pain during or after activity, accompanied by swelling around the joints. You may also experience stiffness, particularly after periods of inactivity, and the affected area may show signs of redness and warmth.

How Pickleball Can Aggravate Joint Pain

Pickleball involves quick lateral movements, sudden stops, and repetitive motions, all of which can strain the joints. There are a number of high-impact movements that are specific to the sport:

• Sudden stops and starts: These can place significant stress on the knees and ankles.

• Twisting and turning: Rapid changes in direction can exacerbate joint discomfort, particularly in the hips and lower back.

• Repetitive motions: Continuous swinging of the paddle can lead to overuse injuries in the shoulders and elbows.

Pickleball is just one example of how many Americans are choosing to stay active. You may not be into pickleball…yet…but you may still be experiencing joint discomfort from another activity you love.

So the question is: How can you prevent or manage joint discomfort and still keep active and continue to do the activities you love?

4 Ways to Manage Joint Discomfort From Pickleball or other activities

Here’s how to keep yourself in the game.

1. Warm-up and stretching

Preventing joint discomfort starts with proper warm-up and stretching. Performing dynamic stretches like leg swings and arm circles can help prepare the muscles and joints for activity. It is also important to begin with a gradual warm-up, incorporating light aerobic activity to increase blood flow to the muscles and joints.

2. Proper Technique

Using proper technique is crucial in reducing strain on the joints. Focus on employing good body mechanics, such as bending the knees instead of the back and using the legs to absorb impact. Additionally, practicing good footwork ensures that you are in the right position to make shots, minimizing awkward movements that could lead to joint pain.

3. High-Quality equipment

The right footwear and equipment also play a significant role in preventing joint discomfort. Wearing supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning helps absorb impact and protect the joints.

4. Give Your Body The Support it Needs With Dynamic Joint

If you’re one of the 92 million Americans reporting that joint discomfort and limited range of motion is affecting your ability to enjoy your daily life (and your pickleball game!) this supplement can be the best decision you make regarding your joint supplement support.*

Dynamic Joint is a breakthrough supplement that supports overall joint health with a new and scientifically backed formula.*

Featuring AprèsFlex®, a proprietary extract of Boswellia serrata gum resin, Dynamic Joint can deliver improved joint comfort in as little as 5 days.* One week you’re reading this article, the next week you’re flying around the pickleball court dominating your friends and neighbors…

When I say this is a breakthrough supplement, I’m not exaggerating. The science and research behind our ingredients speak for themselves:

In a clinical study, participants experienced remarkable benefits with ApresFlex®, including a 24.8% reduction in discomfort, a 47.6% reduction in stiffness, and a 21.2% improvement in physical function compared to placebo.**

Are you ready to leave your joint discomfort behind?

**Percentage improvements were calculated using the percent change between the supplemented group vs the placebo group in a clinical trial using AprèsFlex® at 100 mg/day.
