Joint Pain? Glucosamine and chondroitin compounds with MSM and Vitamin C can help decrease inflammation and joint degeneration, read on to learn how...

We all experience joint pain from time to time. Sometimes it may be the way we slept, the career path we have or pain from a twist or injury. This can be very frustrating and restrict your day to day tasks.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease which is the loss of cartilage and inflammation of synovial membrane. 

The common treatment is with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), while another route is the treatment with a joint support like glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and Omega-3 fatty acids which is a very promising approach. Some formula's may work faster than others based upon dosage and quality, I find Species' Nutrition's product arthrolyze the fastest acting with best results. Some clinical studies have shown this treatment to be more effective at reducing the OA symptoms. This is made possible by 2 means: 1) As components of synovial fluid and cartilage, this stimulates the anabolic process of the cartilage metabolism. 2) the anti-inflammatory effect of this treatment can delay the catabolic process or breakdown in the cartilage. This means a delay in the destruction of the connective tissue and this may help regenerate the joint's structure.This treatment will also trigger an anti-inflammatory response due to the MSM and Boron ingredients.
