Muscles and bones

The musculoskeletal system consists of the muscles, bones and connective tissue in your body. It supports the body and enables movement. You can support your musculoskeletal health and soothe muscle and joint discomfort with the use of selected essential oils and targeted nutritional supplements.

TIPS

Supporting healthy bones and muscles results in improved health and mobility throughout life. Muscle and skeletal discomfort can result from overuse, stress or other problems. This can hinder movement and discourage you from moving more and enjoying an active lifestyle. Dietary supplements and essential oils can provide relief for tired muscles and joints.

The skeleton supports and protects the body. The skeleton consists of more than 200 bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Bones provide the basic structure and serve as the windows of your body. They protect organs and allow movement. Your bones need a constant supply of oxygen, nutrients and blood to be healthy. Bones also store calcium and produce red blood cells.

Scientists agree that sufficient calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis. doTERRA offers several supplements containing these important nutrients. Bone Nutrient Lifetime Complex provides calcium and vitamin D to support healthy bone density.* Microplex VMz® supports the health of your bones and teeth with calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D.*
Bones work together with muscles to support and move your body. The muscular system consists of more than 700 muscles, which stretch and contract and allow the body to move. Some muscles are not under your conscious control, such as muscles in the heart and digestive system. Other muscles are consciously controlled and make movement possible.
