Maia had always said her garden was her sanctuary. But six months ago, the 68-year-old Wellington grandmother found herself directing operations from a deck chair while her husband did all the digging.

“It was absolutely heartbreaking,” Maia admits, gazing out at her prized rose garden. “Thirty years I’d spent building this paradise, and suddenly I couldn’t even kneel down to pull a weed without struggling to get back up.”

The keen gardener’s knee troubles had crept up gradually. First, she started using a kneeling pad. Then a small stool. Eventually, even those aids weren’t enough.

“My daughter would bring the grandkids over and they’d want to help in the veggie patch,” she recalls. “I’d have to supervise from the sidelines. You should’ve seen their little faces when Nana couldn’t show them how to plant the tomato seedlings properly.”

The breakthrough came during a routine visit to her local pharmacy. While picking up a script, Maia noticed a small display for Koru FX, a natural cream made in Christchurch.

“The pharmacist mentioned several customers had been coming back for more bottles,” Maia says. “She said people were finding it worked fast to soothe their knees. I thought, well, I’ve tried everything else.”

What convinced her was discovering the cream contained natural ingredients like rosemary and peppermint oil – plants she actually grew in her own garden.

“I’m a bit old-fashioned about these things,” she laughs. “If I can pronounce the ingredients and they come from plants, I’m more likely to trust it.”

Maia applied the cream that evening, massaging it into both knees before bed. She noticed a pleasant warming sensation that quickly turned cool. The next morning brought an unexpected surprise.

“I bent down to pick up the newspaper from the doorstep and realised I’d done it without thinking,” she says. “Usually, I’d brace myself first or ask my husband to grab it. But there I was, bending naturally.”

Within a week, Maia was back in her garden for short periods. Within three weeks, she was tackling her spring planting.

“My husband couldn’t believe it,” she chuckles. “He’d gotten used to having the garden to himself. Now I was back out there, bossing him around about where to put the sweet peas.”

Her son, visiting from Auckland, was equally stunned to find his mother on her hands and knees, dividing perennials.

“He said, ‘Mum, shouldn’t you be taking it easy?’ I told him I’d been taking it too easy for too long. This cream gave me my garden back.”

Maia now uses Koru FX twice daily – once before her morning garden rounds and again after her evening shower.

“It absorbs quickly, which is important when you’re handling plants,” she notes. “No greasy residue sticking under my gardening gloves. The relief is fast-acting and actually lasts through my gardening sessions.”

The transformation hasn’t gone unnoticed at her local garden club, where Maia recently gave a demonstration on companion planting – something she couldn’t have managed months earlier.

“Three other members have since started using it,” she says. “We’re all at that stage where our bodies need a bit of extra support, but we’re not ready to give up what we love.”

Her six-year-old granddaughter, Sophie, perhaps summed it up best during a recent visit.

“She said, ‘Nana, you’re in the dirt again!’ with such joy,” Maia recalls, smiling. “Children notice everything, don’t they? She’d noticed I’d stopped getting down to her level in the garden, even if she didn’t say anything at the time.”

Last weekend, grandmother and granddaughter spent an entire afternoon planting spring bulbs together, both on their knees in the soil.

“Sophie kept checking if I was okay,” Maia says. “I told her Nana had found something special that helps soothe her knees. She asked if it was magic. In a way, I suppose it feels like it is.”

“I’m just grateful I found it when I did,” Maia reflects, soil still under her fingernails from this morning’s weeding session. “Spring’s my favourite season, and I would’ve hated to miss another one watching from the sidelines.”

But how is it possible for a little unknown Kiwi cream to be building such a quiet following?

The secret is in Koru FX’s unique formula, unlike anything else currently available.

It harnesses 16 natural oils. Black pepper, nutmeg and rosemary widen surface vessels so nutrients can pass through the dermal layer; peppermint, eucalyptus and mānuka trigger a rapid cooling of over-excited nerve endings; antioxidants such as calendula and chamomile then flood joints with polyphenols for hours of comfort.

The approach is based on Nobel-winning science by American biochemist David Julius, who showed that botanical compounds like peppermint can modulate temperature-sensing nerve channels that influence pain signalling.

By working with our bodies built in signalling system, the makers of Koru FX have been able to deliver the fast-acting, long-lasting comfort people are looking for – but without all the nasties.

Professional sports trainer Ricki Jacobs says this sort of joint and muscle relief often delivers wider benefits too. “When people can move without fearing a flare-up, their confidence, social life and even sleep rebound just as quickly,” he notes.

Koru Nutrition, the Christchurch company behind the product, offers a 60-day money-back guarantee acknowledging that everyone is unique and has different challenges when it comes to joint health.

“I think it’s really important people can try Koru FX for themselves with the peace of mind of 60-days to give it a really good go.”

“There’s no such thing as a silver-bullet but this way people can know if it works for them just as it has for thousands of others,” says André Linton, Managing Director of Koru Nutrition.

For those who want to give it a try, Koru Nutrition are offering readers discounts of up to 40 per cent.

What makes Koru FX #1 for Joint Relief?

What makes Koru FX so effective is its unique blend of 16 essential oils and plant extracts, carefully selected to work together in perfect synergy. Ingredients like peppermint and eucalyptus provide deep, antioxidant support, while nutmeg and black pepper extract supercharges the absorption process. These key elements help dilate the skin, allowing the soothing nutrients to penetrate faster and reach the joints where they’re needed most.

Deep Absorption

Fast-Acting Comfort

Long-Lasting Support

This advanced absorption technique was first discovered by David Julius, an American biochemist, who won a Nobel Prize in 2021 for his groundbreaking research on how the body perceives pain. Koru Nutrition has since applied his findings to develop New Zealand’s most effective natural joint relief cream.

It’s this fast-acting, deeply penetrating formula that turned Graham from a sceptic into believer – and why thousands of Kiwis trust Koru FX every single day.
