Below you’ll find some general information on how components in onions and bananas may help support joint comfort and overall health.

Why Onions for Joint Support?
Anti-Inflammatory Compounds
Onions contain quercetin, a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The sulfur compounds in onions (which cause tearing when chopped) have also been associated with potential health benefits, including supporting healthy inflammatory responses.
Rich in Antioxidants
Besides quercetin, onions provide other antioxidants and phytonutrients.
Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, which can play a role in joint discomfort.
Easy to Incorporate
Onions are a versatile ingredient. Sauté them, add them to soups and stews, or use them raw in salads.
The beneficial nutrients in onions are best retained when they’re not overcooked—light cooking may help preserve the active compounds.
