Keep It Moving Painlessly After 40


Are you approaching the BIG 40, or are you in your 40's already and it seems that with every step or move your joints ache?  Well, you need to add Glucosamine Chondroitin to your daily ritual of health and fitness.     


Glucosamine Chondroitin is a product aimed at supporting the health of joints, delivering glucosamine and chondroitin in order to ease some of the pain associated with arthritis – as well as to improve flexibility and mobility.


While these claims have not necessarily been approved by the FDA, using glucosamine and chondroitin to treat joint issues is nothing new, and many herbalists and nutritionists – as well as patients – swear by their effectiveness.  Glucosamine itself is an amino sugar produced by the body that is essentially one of the foundations of connective tissue. Concerning the joints, glucosamine is a necessary part of the makeup of cartilage – but is also necessary concerning ligaments, skin, bone, and many other areas of the body where tissue is concerned.


In some countries, glucosamine is thought to be so effective that is regulated by the government and sold as a prescription drug for joints. The thing that users must be careful of is making sure that the glucosamine supplements they purchase have enough of the amino sugar in it to actually be effective. One of the keys to finding this out is to make sure that the facilities in which the glucosamine is manufactured are GMP-compliant.


When glucosamine is paired with chondroitin, it is thought that not only can some of the pain associated with arthritis go away, but that much of the breakdown of cartilage can be repaired and even reversed.


GNC and Vitamin Shoppe, offer a variety of joint-health products, containing glucosamine, chondroitin, and other popular ingredients – mixing them together in different formulas, or sold separately as individual supplements.  Give it a try your knees will thank you!
