building blocks
of
cartilage
and can help the body to
rebuild damaged cartilage

in
pain
and
inflammation
can be manifested through the use of

anti-inflammatory herbs
(Licorice, Yucca, and Devil Claw), MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl
Methane) and the
pain modulating amino acid dl-Phenylalanine.

What You Should Know About
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a compound known as an
aminosugar, and is naturally concentrated in human
connective tissue and joint synovial fluid.
Several forms of glucosamine are available. However,
glucosamine sulfate appears to have superior absorption
and effectiveness.
The sulfur portion of the compound also
has nutritional value since the body can use it to produce
disulfate bonds that further contribute to the strength
and integrity of connective tissue. In fact,
recent studies have shown that glucosamine sulfate
supplementation may be as effective as nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for relief of arthritis
pain and inflammation.
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a
mucopolysaccharide and natural constituent of cartilage,
connective tissue and bone. Clinical research has
shown that when taken as a nutritional supplement, CS can
provide several important compounds vital to healthy
connective tissue. CS has been shown to produce positive
results in a variety of joint complaints, and has gained
recent popularity among those suffering pain and swelling
due to arthritis.
