Oral Supplements

16 million men and women in the United States are at risk for developing the degenerative and painful disease of osteoarthritis (OA). OA is associated with the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, commonly occurring in the knees, hips and spine. In OA cartilage becomes stiff and loses its elasticity and over time can wear in some areas. As cartilage wears away, tendons and ligaments stretch causing pain. If the condition worsens bones can actually rub together. Traditional therapies for OA generally do not heal the problem but simply provide temporary pain relief and often lead to undesirable side effects and increased joint degradation, so a natural support for joint health comes with great need and excitement. Research shows that glucosamine and chondroitin are partners in the process of regenerating and decreasing the breakdown of cartilage, as well as supporting joint fluidity and flexibility. MSM is a natural sulfur compound found in high concentrations in the joints and has been shown to provide positive benefits to joint health making it a wonderful addition to a glucosamine chondroitin combination product. This trio can naturally assist the promotion of long term joint health, unlike traditional therapies that may only provide short term relief.
