John’s story
Retired engineer and former IT consultant John Westbury, 80, from Alveley, Shropshire, has never been one to sit still for long. He only gave up consultancy work last year. But in 2019, persistent joint pain started to make everyday life harder.
When joint pain makes everyday tasks harder
“It was classic bone-on-bone pain. I’d get spasms of discomfort in my wrists,” he recalls. “Sometimes it eased off, but it never really disappeared. I couldn’t even rest my wrists on a surface properly.”
John was caring full-time for his wife of 54 years, Pauline, who has Alzheimer’s and is now in a care home. “I was doing everything - the washing, ironing, cleaning - because she wasn’t able to,” he says. “Pauline used to take Healthspan supplements, so I trusted the brand.”
John’s daily routine
Looking for extra support for his joint health, John chose Opti-Turmeric®, which he takes alongside Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Within months he noticed a real difference. “What happened was phenomenal,” he says.
These days John remains on the go. He walks regularly, does daily chair-based exercises and visits Pauline on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And he is back doing things he loves. “I now have more pain-free time to restore my 1966 Triumph Spitfire,” he says.
Support when it mattered most
John is especially grateful for the support Opti-Turmeric® gave him during an especially tough period. “It meant I could care for my wife while she was still at home and manage the day-to-day jobs. What more could I ask for?”

Why John recommends Opti-Turmeric®
Now, John recommends Opti-Turmeric® to friends, especially those with joint niggles. “I’d recommend it to anyone,” he says. “It works for me, and it couldn’t be easier to take. I just have one capsule every morning after breakfast.”
But for John, the biggest benefit is personal. “It enabled me, as a husband, to care longer for my wife and that means everything,” he says. “That’s something I’ll always be grateful to Opti-Turmeric® for. It gave me more time with Pauline and the ability to help her.”
