Have you become one of those characters who can tell bad weather is approaching because your joints start to ache even more than normal? As useful as this ability is, you’d obviously prefer to live without all that nagging pain. If you are elderly, or have repetitively used or injured a joint, or if you are significantly overweight, then your symptoms are likely to be a result of osteoarthritis.
And, if that is the case, there’s a
good chance that your soreness can be significantly reduced by taking a daily
combined supplement of glucosamine
and chondroitin.
Over twenty million Americans experience discomfort from osteoarthritis, and
many of them require pain relief to cope with their daily lives.
Unfortunately,
many of the available pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for sufferers come with
unwanted or even dangerous side effects. In fact, several well-known
drugs were withdrawn from the market in 2005 for precisely that reason.
Glucosamine and chondroitin, on the other hand,
both occur naturally in the
joints of the human body.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage between joints degrades and bony spurs
form in the joint area.
-
Glucosamine counteracts this process by stimulating the formation and repair of cartilage.
-
Chondroitin works in a different way, promoting elasticity and protecting the cartilage from further degradation.
Together they make a formidable
natural team. And, best of all, there are no side effects.
There have been many clinical trials conducted to evaluate the benefits of
glucosamine and chondroitin. Most showed a positive outcome, but some have been
criticized for their short duration or possible bias. A recent major study,
published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine in 2006,
concluded that glucosamine/chondroitin was effective for people suffering from
moderate to severe knee pain. In this sub-group of the study, it was
actually found that glucosamine/chondroitin was more effective than the
well-known anti-inflammatory drug, Celebrex. The study is ongoing in regard to
whether glucosamine/chondroitin can reduce or halt the progression of
osteoarthritis.
It’s Triple Strength,
which means each daily dose provides 1500 mg Glucosamine HCl and 1200 mg
Chondroitin Sulfate. Manufactured at the company’s Long Island, New York
headquarters, the caplets contain U.S. sourced ingredients of the highest
possible quality, potency, and freshness.
In the last five years alone, Puritan's Pride has invested over $130 million in
the manufacturing and quality control infrastructure of its facility. This
investment ensures that the products are manufactured under very stringent GMPs

buying products in a largely unregulated marketplace.
