Julie, 62, and a dinner lady from Lancashire, was 50 when she started to go through the menopause.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cMy joints started to feel stiff especially my knees and fingers and it affected my ability to do my fitness classes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Several nutritional supplements have shown promise in relieving painful and stiff joints.<\/p>\n
Julie tried cod liver oil, but not long after was introduced to Syno-Vital, which she\u2019s been taking for the past five years.<\/p>\n
After taking the supplement daily for three months, she started to notice a difference.<\/p>\n

It’s a major component of synovial fluid, the lubricating material present in many joints, and as such, plays an important role in maintaining joint health.<\/p>\n Although the body produces its own HA, this supply declines with age, causing joints to become stiff and painful.<\/p>\n One study concluded: \u201cHyaluronic acid treatment shows a lot of potential that will hopefully be discovered through continued research.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/11\/590x\/secondary\/Syno-Vital-4950347.jpg?r=1694182828588\")
