Elevated Health
Elevated Health Solutions is a health education company dedicated to optimizing health by providing evidence-based information on appropriate diet, exercise, sleep, and (if needed) professional-grade natural supplements.
Everything on our webpage is backed by research and has been vetted by a board-certified medical doctor Nick Pappas MD, the founder of Elevated Health.
Above all else, we advocate a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. However, in those cases where supplementation may be helpful, we offer professional-grade supplements that are third-party tested and manufactured in FDA-registered, NSF-certified facilities that adhere strictly to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) guidelines. These standards ensure that each product you receive is high quality and contains all listed ingredients.
We realize that there is a sea of information (and misinformation) out there about ways to optimize your health. Our goal is to help you navigate that sea.
Be sure to check out our "Health Topics" listed above and much more!
Dr. Pappas publishes a FREE weekly e-mail newsletter, which will have useful info on optimizing overall health naturally (with some random medical humor mixed in). It will also have discount links to our products and other health-related products he likes.
A 2022 study in the Journal of Hand Surgery showed that topical CBD (cannabidiol) applied twice daily can support joint health.
Please note, topical CBD can have a potential side effect of skin irritation. As with any ointment, always check with your doctor first before starting it.
Turmeric, the active ingredient of which is curcumin, is a spice that has been around for ages. Multiple studies show its ability to serve as an anti-inflammatory.

Turmeric, the active ingredient of which is curcumin, is a spice that has been around for ages. Multiple studies show its ability to serve as an anti-inflammatory.
How much your body can actually absorb turmeric when you ingest it is always an issue, which is why I chose a liposomal delivery system. A liposomal delivery system can help shield the turmeric from premature breakdown and therefore increase the absorption.
Please note, turmeric can have potential side effects of gastrointestinal upset and bleeding among other things. As with any medication or supplement, always check with your doctor first before starting it.
Magnesium is a known muscle relaxant and cofactor in over 300 reactions in the human body.

Omega-3 fish oil has been shown in numerous studies to be an excellent anti-inflammatory, which can potentially help with joint pain. It has also been shown to support the cardiovascular system and promote better nerve health.

Although the data is early on this, there is a study suggesting that hydrolyzed collagen supplements can potentially decrease fine lines and wrinkles (PMID: 33742704). As for osteoarthritis, the data is really mixed.

Although the data is early on this, there is a study suggesting that hydrolyzed collagen supplements can potentially decrease fine lines and wrinkles (PMID: 33742704). As for osteoarthritis, the data is really mixed.
While there is one study that suggests collagen supplementation might help regrow cartilage (PMID: 21251991), the results have not been replicated. There also has not been any really good high-quality human study that shows that collagen supplementation significantly improves the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
However, for osteoporosis (thin bone), there is abundant evidence showing that collagen supplementation can help increase bone density (PMID: 34520654). So for individuals, such as post-menopausal women, who may have issues with low bone density, collagen supplementation certainly has been shown to help their situation.
As always, check with your doctor before starting any new supplement, even collagen.
