For the millions of people affected by the pain and suffering of arthritis, recent research on the benefits of taking a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulphates has offered new hope and relief from these crippling ailments.

Although many medicines are available to help reduce the pain, some of them have serious and even fatal side effects, so the news that two natural substances, glucosamine and chondroitin, have shown great promise has created enormous interest.

Both substances are natural complex sugar-like molecules that the body uses to help rebuild cartilage, and restore movement to osteoarthritic joints. Of special note is the amazing safety of both of these compounds, especially when compared to other treatments.

What is Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is a natural substance found in the body and made from the combination of a sugar (glucose) and an amine, derived from the amino acid, glutamine. Available throughout the body, but found largely in the cartilage, Glucosamine is an important part of the mucopolysaccharides which form the proteoglycans that provide structure to the bones, cartilage, skin, nails, hair and other body tissues. It is thus essential for healthy cartilage, and to maintain healthy joints and pain free mobility. Research suggests that that the inability to manufacture Glucosamine within the body may be a major factor leading to joint problems. It is essentially non-toxic even in doses many times greater than those needed for relief.

What is Chondroitin?

Formed from a long chain of sugar molecules, chondroitin acts like a 'liquid magnet', helping to attract fluid into the proteoglycan molecules.
This is important for two reasons:

• The fluid acts as a spongy shock absorber, and also sweeps nutrients into the cartilage
• Joint cartilage has no blood supply which means its nourishment and lubrication come from the liquid which enters and leaves the cartilage as pressure is applied to the joint

Extensive European studies have shown that taking a daily supplement of 1200mg of Chondroitin may be particularly useful for joint activity.

What is MSM?

MSM (Methyl Sulphonyl Methane) is a form of dietary sulphur, a naturally occurring compound found in nerve and connective tissue, skin, hair and joints. For centuries, sulphur has been used for its beneficial effects for muscle & joint mobility, but it was not until the 1960s that intensive research highlighted the real importance of this essential mineral. It is useful in maintaining pain free joints and for lubrication.
