A complete recipe for (re)building healthy joints
This formula combines glucosamine, chondroitin,
and MSM; important raw materials that the body can
use to maintain the strong cartilage connective
tissues and synovial fluid needed for healthy
joints.
In studies of these materials, joint pain is
relieved more slowly than with drugs such as
ibuprofen but it is relieved more permanently. The
difference is that the natural materials actually
help cushion the joint and to rebuild strong
connective tissue.
The devil’s claw is included to relieve painful
inflammation. Although you may be excited to see
improvement right away, be sure to continue with
the product to ensure adequate long-term results.
Research:
Glucosamine (189 clinical trials);
In one particularly strong twelve week study,
glucosamine supplementation was shown to provide
pain relief and improved function in persons who
experience regular knee pain, which may be caused
by prior cartilage injury and/or osteoarthritis (
88% versus 17% for placebo). The trends in the
results suggest that, at a dosage of 2,000 mg per
day, the improvements are present after eight
weeks.
