This targeted combination delivers noticeable improvements in comfort and movement within days, while supporting lasting structural strength over time.

To reinforce skeletal health, Vitamins D3 and K2 (as MK-7) work together to optimize calcium utilization—helping direct calcium into bones where it belongs. This synergistic action supports increased bone mineral density (BMD) and overall bone strength.

The formula is completed with BioPerine®, a patented black pepper extract that enhances nutrient absorption, ensuring your body fully utilizes every ingredient for maximum benefit.

Every component in Move Essentials is grounded in science and refined through Nordic formulation principles. This isn’t about masking discomfort—it’s about restoring the body’s natural rhythm of strength, flexibility, and movement.

How Move Essentials Supports Mobility

Our clinically supported formula works where it matters
most:

• Promotes overall joint health while improving joint comfort by helping to reduce excess inflammation
  naturally
• Supports joint flexibility by nourishing cartilage and connective tissue
• Builds bone strength and bone mineral density (BMD) for long-term mobility and
  resilience

Tamasteen® is a patented and proprietary blend of three natural food-based and powerful anti-inflammatory botanicals—tamarind seed, turmeric root (curcumin), and mangosteen fruit—each with a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. Together, they work synergistically to reduce inflammation, protect cartilage, and improve joint flexibility and mobility.

What makes Tamasteen unique is its multi-pathway approach to joint health:

• Tamarind seed extract supports long-term joint comfort by modulating the 5-LOX inflammatory pathway, helping address chronic inflammation
• Turmeric (curcumin) delivers faster relief by inhibiting the COX-2 pathway, supporting short-term comfort and reduced stiffness
• Mangosteen fruit extract provides potent antioxidant protection, helping neutralize free radicals that contribute to joint degradation

This complementary, layered approach allows Tamasteen to deliver both rapid symptom relief and lasting joint protection.

Clinical Studies & Scientific Evidence on Tamasteen®

Tamasteen® has been validated in three randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials, demonstrating both fast-acting and long-term improvements in joint comfort and function [1-3]. Notably, benefits were observed in healthy adults with knee discomfort, as well as in individuals experiencing  more significant joint discomfort.

Across these studies, Tamasteen® produced statistically significant improvements across all 10 measured markers of joint health, consistently outperforming placebo in every one of the 10 categories including:

• Nearly 65% reduction in joint discomfort (25% reduction in just 5 days)
• Over 50% improvement in joint mobility
• Over 50% reduction in physical limitations
• Over 50% improvement in overall joint function
• Increased ability to walk faster as well as going up and down stairs faster
• Fast-acting - works in as little as 5 days
• Long-lasting effects – the longer one takes the product, the greater the benefits

So how does it work?

Researchers measure what is known as biomarkers that help determine how an ingredient might exert its beneficial effects, and in the case of Tamasteen®, this is what the researchers found:

• Significantly reduced pro-inflammatory biomarkers, including TNF-α, IL-6, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
• Reduced cartilage breakdown in the knee, as indicated by reductions in uCTX-II a biomarker for type 2 cartilage breakdown) and MMP-3 (a biomarker not only involved in the breakdown of cartilage but also the synovial fluid that lubricates the joints)

This patented Boswellia serrata extract has been clinically shown to improve joint comfort, mobility, and range of motion. It helps reduce inflammation at its root, supports cartilage regeneration, and increases joint space for smoother movement. Benefits build over time with consistent use.

Key Takeaways from Clinical Studies

Four well-controlled clinical trials showed that the exact same dose of ApresFlex found in Move Essentials was found to significantly: [1-4]:

• Reduce joint discomfort
• Improve joint flexibility  
• Improve overall joint movement and function
• Improve overall joint health

And all within five days compared to placebo, making it as fast-acting as any other ingredient such as Tamasteen in in the joint category, and similar to Tamasteen, the longer one ingests this ingredient, the better the results in improving joint health.

The studies also showed longer-term effect, including:

• Increasing exercise performance [4]
• Increasing cartilage thickness – yes, that means that cartilage actually grew after 6 months of supplementation [4]
• Increasing joint space (i.e., the space between the femur and tibia that makes up the knee joint; and the larger the joint space, which reflects cartilage thickness, the healthier the joint is [4]
• Decreasing inflammation [4] – as evident by significantly reducing hsCRP
• Decreasing cartilage breakdown – as evident by reduced MMP-3, a biomarker for collagen breakdown as well as reduced CTX-II, the biomarker for type II collagen breakdown[4]

Boron is a naturally occurring trace mineral shown to have a positive effect on bone strength, joint health, and mobility. It helps reduce inflammatory biomarkers and supports natural calcium metabolism — yet sadly, it is a nutrient often missing in modern diets.

Low dietary intakes of boron have been associated with an increased risk of compromised joint health conditions and vice versa. [1,2] More specifically, areas of the world where intakes are less than 1mg/day, they have higher incidences of joint discomfort; yet in areas where typical boron intakes range from 3-10mg/day, the incidence of joint discomfort is less than
10%.

The Mediterranean Diet is arguably the healthiest diet being associated with low disease prevalence and longevity and clearly one of the most well-researched. Interestingly, the Mediterranean region has the richest boron deposits in the world with water boron content reaching 8mg/l in Tuscany and 13mg/l in Cyprus. Compared to regulations in the US and Europe at 1mg/l.  One research group estimates the Mediterranean diet delivers more than 13mg boron daily.[3] Dr Rex Newnham, one of the earliest boron researchers, has said that “over 250,000 people have used boron, and it corrects between 80 and 90% of all joint discomfort. Arthritis. Importantly, no negative side effects have been noted with boron supplementation, while also having  some useful side benefits, including overall well-being. l” [2]

Vitamin D3 is the essential sunshine vitamin that enhances calcium absorption and supports bone health, immune strength, and mood regulation. It works in tandem and in some cases even synergistically with Vitamin K2 to protect/promote heart health and reduce inflammation, promoting vitality through and beyond menopause.

Vitamin K2 (MK-7)

There are many different forms of vitamin K including even different forms of K1 and K2 with K2, and more specifically vitamin K2 as MK-7, which is t most bioavailable form of Vitamin K; and it is this form that works so well with Vitamin D3 which increases the absorption of calcium, while MK-7 helps direct this absorbed calcium into your bones (where we want it to go to make stronger bones), and not get stuck in our arteries (where we do not want it to go)  Because of this, D3 + K2 strengthen bones, by either maintaining and possibly increasing bone mineral density (BMD) while at the same time, helps protect heart health, as well as the rest of the cardiovascular system, all of which are important to women approaching or experiencing menopause as well as those who are postmenopausal.

Vitamins D3 and K2 as MK-7: Vitamin D3 has been clinically studied for decades and has now become common practice in traditional medicine. 

Observational studies have shown that populations who consume more Vitamin K2 as MK-7 have stronger bones[1,2] and better heart health.[3,4] But Vitamin K2 as MK-7 was truly recognized for its importance in
supporting bone and heart health after two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention trials with healthy post-menopausal women were published. Healthy post-menopausal women ingested either 180mcg of K2 as MK-7 daily for 3 years or a placebo, and bone and heart measurements were taken, demonstrating:

• Significantly improved circulation was shown by reversing 12 years of arterial aging, while those ingesting the placebo had arteries that continued to age.[5]

• Significantly decreased bone loss in post-menopausal women was seen compared to those women ingesting a placebo.[6]

Yet there is also research showing that D3 and K2 work together, including a recent meta-analysis that focused on bone quality, which concluded that the combination of vitamin K and D can significantly increase
total bone mineral density. [7]

A patented extract that enhances nutrient absorption by improving bioavailability. It ensures your body absorbs the full benefits of turmeric, Boswellia, and other active ingredients — making Move Essentials even more effective.

BioPerine's primary function is enhancing nutrient absorption. It stimulates digestive enzymes, improves nutrient breakdown, and increases uptake in the small intestine - crucial for fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants to be fully utilized. BioPerine is commonly added to supplements containing compounds like curcumin, which can be challenging for the body to absorb on their own. Its inclusion significantly boosts the bioavailability of these nutrients, ensuring more effective absorption and use by the body. [1]
