joint relief forte - for osteoarthritis
joint relief forte

Overview

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which commonly affects the last joints of the fingers, base of the thumb, hip, knee, big toe and spine. It can occur due to constant excessive pressure exerted on the joint as a result of sport or other strenuous physical activity, causing inflammation of the cartilage in the joint. This condition is often associated with poor nutritional status of bones or surrounding areas.

Recent clinical studies have shown that two substances, Glucosamine and Chondroitin can help provide relief of joint pain and help improve joint mobility. At doses of 1500mg of Glucosamine and 1200mg of Chondroitin a day, in a ratio of 5:4, these substances can repair cartilage and encourage joint elasticity. 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.

Joint Relief Forte contains 1500mg Glucosamine and 1200mg Chondroitin, the optimum daily dosage level for reducing joint pain and improving mobility. Taken as a supplement for osteoarthritis, it has the advantage of a convenient once-a day dosage - there is no need to remember to take multiple doses of tablets or capsules throughout the day.

Joint Relief Forte can also be taken by younger people to help preserve the integrity of their joints if they are involved in regular physical activity or sport that can put considerable pressure on their joints repetitively. As a pleasant fruit tasting drink, it is rapidly absorbed into the body to provide pain relief, is gentle on the stomach and is free from preservatives, lactose and gluten.
