BLM, which stands for bones, ligaments and muscles, is one of our favorite supplements for healthy, happy bones, ligaments and muscles! This supplement is great for anyone but, especially athletes, active individuals, and as we age. BLM is a powerhouse of naturally-derived ingredients like collagen & glucosamine that help soothe discomfort and repair injury while supporting the overall muscle and skeletal systems!

BACKGROUND BLM is a specially designed formula containing collagen, MSM and manganese along with anti-inflammatory essential oils to support healthy cell function and encourage joint health and fluid movement. The combination of collagen and glucosamine strengthens and rebuilds damaged joints and cartilage and helps to combat inflammation and discomfort.

KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Glucosamine: a proteoglycan known for its ability to rebuild damaged cartilage and reduce symptoms of arthritis and inflammation
  • Collagen Type II (avian source): the raw material from which joints are built; contains multiple proteoglycans and a glycoprotein matrix that reduce oxidative damage to the joints, reduce inflammation, and cushion joints
  • MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): an easily absorbed form of sulfur that restores flexibility to cell membranes and slows breakdown of cartilage; is found in the muscles, bones, and skin and is required to form the keratin and build collagen; is essential the body's response to inflammation, aging, and joint health
  • Manganese: benefits healthy bone structure, bone metabolism and resorption, and helps create essential enzymes for building bones; acts as a coenzyme to assist metabolic activity in the human body
  • Balsam fir: a soothing oil that supports the body's natural response to inflammation and injury, especially swelling in the joints and strain on ligaments
  • Wintergreen: contains methyl salicylate (which is similar to salicylic acid), a constituent that helps soothe the body and promote the body's natural response to pain, injury and inflammation; has been used for decades for its joint and muscle health properties and is even listed in the US Pharmacopeia for these uses
  • Clove: a powerful antioxidant that helps repair and prevent damage to cells, supports the body during times of stress and inflammation

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLM AND AGILEASE? This is a commonly asked question, and there are a few differences! You could use them interchangeably if needed for stock issues, but looking at the individual ingredients helps you choose which is right for your specific needs:

BLM Ingredients:

  • Manganese, Glucosamine Sulfate, Type II Chicken Collagen, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Balsam Fir, Wintergreen, Clove

Agilease Ingredients:

  • Frankincense, Calcium Fructoborate, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Glucosamine Sulfate, Hyaluronic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Type II Chicken Collagen, Wintergreen, Copaiba, Clove, Black Spruce
  • Agilease doesn't contain Manganese and MSM.

In BLM:

  • Manganese has huge benefits to healthy bone structure, bone metabolism, and helps to create essential enzymes for building bones. It also acts as a coenzyme to assist metabolic activity in the human body.
  • MSM is found in the muscles, bones, and skin. It forms the keratin in your body needed to help build collagen. It is essential support for your body's inflammation support, aging support, and joint support. It is actually essential to most of your body systems.
  • Idaho Balsam Fir helps support the body in cartilage and bone health. Many feel they have better results with Idaho Balsam Fir on this one than with the Black Spruce in AgilEase.

In Agilease:

  • Turmeric is essential for the support of over a dozen body systems (heart, brain, inflammatory, joints and more) and is a key player for inflammation.
  • Frankincense, Copaiba, and Black Pepper make a power trio for discomfort. Black Pepper contains piperine, known to dramatically increase the absorption and supportive effects of turmeric!

Research these ingredients to be amazed! Many individuals take both supplements at different times/for different needs, and it could be beneficial for someone with severe joint issues to consider taking both supplements together.
