How to Choose Sports Nutrition Supplements
Sports nutrition supplements at Terry Naturally are built on a different foundation than conventional pre-workout and protein products. Rather than stimulant-driven performance boosters, this range focuses on botanicals, antioxidants, and targeted nutrients that support the body’s natural recovery processes, joint health, and sustained energy over time. Choosing the right formula depends on which aspect of your active wellness routine you want to prioritize.*
Inflammation Response and Post-Exercise Recovery*†
Supporting a healthy inflammation response is one of the most important dimensions of active recovery. The award-winning Curamin® family—including Curamin®, Curamin® Extra Strength, and CuraMed® Acute Pain Relief—combines BCM-95® curcumin with complementary ingredients to support comfort and a healthy inflammation response after exercise and overuse. CuraMed® is available in 375 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg potencies for everyday or more targeted inflammation support. PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) Healthy Inflammation Response features a fatty acid compound that is well known for its role in supporting a healthy inflammation response and post-exercise comfort.*† All potency tiers serve the same goal; the right choice depends on individual needs and how the formula fits an existing supplement routine.
†Occasional muscle pain or inflammation due to exercise or overuse.
Joint, Connective Tissue, and Mobility Support*
Active individuals place significant demands on joints, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Terry Naturally’s range includes several formulas specifically designed to support the structural integrity and comfort of these tissues. Be Mobile™ (award winner) and Healthy Knees & Joints™ provide targeted joint mobility support with evidence-backed ingredients. Healthy Ligaments & Tendons™ is formulated for the connective tissues that surround and support joints—an often-overlooked dimension of athletic wellness. These formulas address different structural targets and are complementary; your individual training demands and joint priorities will determine which is the best starting point.*
Adaptogenic Energy, Stamina, and Stress Resilience*^
Sustained physical performance depends not just on energy during training but on how well the body manages regular activity. HRG80™ Red Ginseng Energy—available in capsule and chewable formats—features a hydroponicallygrown red ginseng with significantly higher levels of rare ginsenosides, studied for supporting physical stamina, mental focus, and stress resilience without relying on stimulants.^ Adaptra® and Ashwagandha EP35™ Extra Strength feature clinically studied ingredients known for supporting the body’s healthy response to physical and mental demands over time.*
^Occasional stress.
Antioxidant Support and Cellular Recovery*
Intense physical activity generates oxidative stress at the cellular level, making antioxidant support a meaningful component of any active wellness routine. Aronia Berry 300™ and Aronia Berry Complex™ provide a clinically studied aronia berry extract—one of the richest natural sources of antioxidant polyphenols—known for its role in supporting healthy cellular recovery after physical activity. Tart Cherry promotes comfortable post-exercise recovery. Resveratrol Complex adds polyphenol antioxidant support to complement an active cellular wellness routine.*
Muscle and NerveSupport*
Muscle Relax provides targeted support for healthy muscle relaxation and recovery, particularly relevant for those experiencing occasional muscle tension related to exercise.† Healthy Feet & Nerves™ supports nerve function throughout the entire body, which is relevant for active individuals focused on overall nerve health and comfort.*
†Relief of occasional muscle cramps due to exercise or overuse.

How is Terry Naturally’s approach to sports nutrition different from conventional sports supplements?
Terry Naturally’s sports nutrition range is built on botanicals backed by published research, antioxidants, and targeted nutrients—not stimulants or synthetic compounds. Ingredients found in the Curamin® family and HRG80™ Red Ginseng products are backed by published human research and are designed for consistent daily use as part of a long-term active wellness routine, rather than short-term performance manipulation.*

Can I take sports nutrition supplements daily, even on rest days?
Yes—most formulas in this category are designed for consistent daily use, including rest days, as the underlying wellness goals (joint health, inflammation support, antioxidant activity, and energy resilience) benefit from sustained supplementation rather than use only around training sessions.*† Always follow the label directions on your chosen product and consult your healthcare practitioner for guidance tailored to your health and training demands.
