| Glucosamine & Chondroitin |
GLUCOSAMINE has been used as a treatment for arthritis and is backed
by numerous double-blind studies. It has been shown to rehabilitate
cartilage, reduce the progression of osteoarthritis and significantly lessen pain
from arthritis.
Osteoarthritis, also known as Degenerative Joint Disease, is the most
common form of arthritis and is one of the most prevalent diseases in the
United States today, affecting some 40 million Americans.
The joints most often affected are the weight-bearing joints, such as the
knees, hips and the small joints of the hands. The pain, deformity and
restriction of movement in these joints is the direct result of cartilage
destruction and hardening and formation of bone spurs.
Glucosamine is a natural substance found in high concentrations in our joint
structures and numerous double-blind studies have shown that Glucosamine
produces better results in the treatment of osteoarthritis than traditional drug
therapy. The main function of Glucosamine is to stimulate the
manufacture of substances necessary for joint repair.
CHONDROITIN is a major component of cartilage. Like Glucosamine,
Chondroitin attracts water into the cartilage and stimulates the production of
cartilage. It also has the ability to prevent enzymes from dissolving cartilage.
While Chondroitin is absorbed in the body at a much lower rate than that of
Glucosamine, it is known to reduce pain and increase range of motion.
Chondroitin slows the free radicals that attack the cartilage in joints. It also
increases the flow of blood to joints, allowing antioxidants and other healing
substances produced by the body to protect and repair body tissue. Further,
Chondroitin is found in shark cartilage. We must remember that shark
cartilage appears to block cancer by preventing development of new blood
vessels which feed the cancer/tumor. Since inappropriate growth of blood
vessels into the joint cartilage is thought to be a cause of arthritis symptoms,
it is believed that Chondroitin also helps to block/remove these new blood
vessels from the joint cartilage.
A one-year long, double-blind clinical study including 42 patients with
osteoarthritis showed that Chondroitin was well tolerated and
significantly reduced pain and increased joint mobility. The patients
were given 800mg. per day. (Uebelhart et al., 1998)

| Herbal Nutritional Supplements has equal propotions of Glucosamine and Chondroitin in their product so we can get maximum joint repair (rebuilding cartilage), pain relief and joint mobility. |
While Glucosamine and Chondroitin are biochemically classed as
carbohydrates (sugars), the body is not able to break them down into
glucose, so these compounds do not raise blood sugar by providing an
additional source of glucose. This makes it safe for diabetics.

Note: Some individuals caution that if you are allergic to shellfish, you
should not take Glucosamine & Chondroitin. In most cases, however,
allergies are caused by protiens in the shellfish, not chitin, a carbohydrate
from which Glucosamine is extracted.
Therefore, it should be very safe for anyone with allergies to iodine or
shellfish to take Glucosamine. As with all natural supplements, if you
notice any adverse reactions, stop the suspected supplement and contact
your Health Care Practitioner.

** Chondroitin is extremely expensive and that is why you will see that
most manufacturers only add one half as much Chondroitin as
Glucosamine to their formulas. So check the ingredients. With equal
proportions you are getting the best possible ratio for the best results and
without having to consume huge amounts of capsules daily.
