Musculoskeletal System

Supporting healthy bones and muscles results in greater health and mobility throughout life. Musculoskeletal discomfort can result from overuse, stress, or other concerns. This can impede movement and discourage you from exercising and enjoying an active lifestyle. Select dietary supplements and essential oils can provide soothing comfort to muscle and joints. 

The skeleton supports and protects the body. The skeletal system is made up of over 200 bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Bones provide the basic structure and serve as the framework of your body, protecting organs and enabling movement. Your bones need a constant supply of oxygen, nutrients, and blood to be healthy. The bones also store calcium and produce red blood cells. 

Scientists agree that adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. doTERRA offers several supplements with these key 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 is made up of over 700 muscles, which expand and contract and allow the body to move. Some muscles aren’t under your conscious control, such as muscles in the heart and digestive system. Other muscles are consciously controlled and enable movement. 

doTERRA Deep Blue^® Soothing Blend is popularly used to soothe joints and muscles. It contains Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, Helichrysum, and other oils known for their soothing effect on the skin. Deep Blue is also available in a sport lotion (Deep Blue Rub) for convenient application of this powerful blend.

For additional soothing support, Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex^® is a dietary supplement that can be taken daily or as needed for soothing support.
