glucosamine plus chondroitin

for joint health

Overview

Osteoarthritis can be caused by constant excessive pressure exerted on the joint
causing wear and tear of cartilage in the joints. When the cartilage becomes
inflammed, swelling and pain occurs. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(or NSAID’s) are commonly prescribed to help reduce the inflammation and
swelling, and to relieve pain. However, to address the underlying cause rather
than symptoms alone, recommend Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Clinical
studies have shown that Glucosamine and Chondroitin in combination can help
repair cartilage and surrounding joint tissue, preventing further degeneration of
the joint.
When taken together they assist in joint pain relief and provides protection against
joint damage. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring building block for joint tissue,
thus helping to prevent degeneration of the joint. Chondroitin is responsible for
maintaining the flexible matrix between the protein filaments in cartilage and
connective tissue, helping in joint repair. Both Glucosamine and Chondroitin
work in combination to prevent further degeneration of the joint structure to help
restore normal function of the joint.
