Hello @adoobeh99 – you’re correct in wanting to support gut health when joint pain is involved since many contributing factors do begin in the gut. Below is a list taken from this handout on Joint Pain from the Symptom Dictionary which highlights root cause factors:
- Gut dysbiosis (imbalance in the normal gut microbes and/or overgrowths)…

@naslam1603 good question! It has to do with practicality, cost and effectiveness.
Porcine kidneys are used for DAO supplements because they’re rich in the enzyme, are biologically similar to humans so they’re effective for absorption, and are easier to process compared to lamb or beef kidneys. They’re also more widely available and…

@Annie you certainly can combine your own. So Nuzest is a clean pea protein – single ingredient. Kirkland’s whole organic hemp seeds (from Canada) offers a heavy metal free option for hemp seeds which can be easily blended if making a smoothie for example. I haven’t done any research on heavy-metal free rice protein powders only, but if you…

@Annie – so both of the plant based options I shared above are complete proteins by having all 9 of the essential amino acids. And both options test for heavy metals.
Nuzest is purely pea based, and the Ora Organics protein is a blend of pea, rice, hemp, chia and pumpkin seed plus enzymes and superfood nutrients.
Since Ora Organic is a blend,…

@Annie – it’s hard to find organic dried cranberries in bulk without added sweeteners and oils because they add the oil to prevent it from sticking. However I did a little search and came up with “Honestly Cranberry” which sells a 16oz bag of dried…

@naslam1603 – Yes, I recall your concern regarding pork-derived products. Unfortunately, this is currently the only available form, and it has proven to be quite effective.
