Millions upon millionsof people in the United States alone suffer from osteoarthritis, thegradual breakdown of cartilage that cushions the tips of bones injoints. It's the most prevalent chronic condition in older people,affecting at least one-third of them, and it effects women nearly twice asoften as men.  When the cartilage deteriorates and becomes thin, the bonesrub together, creating a very painful degenerative condition.  Billions ofdollars are spente very year on steroids and analgesics to relieve this pain,but those drugs do nothing to repair the damage and their side effects can beharmful.

A recentinformation blitz has educated the public about the amazing benefits that canbe derived from taking glucosamine^1,2,one of the building blocks ofcartilage. USAToday, Newsweek, and Let's Live magazines(to name a few) areresponsible for creating a tidal wave of demand for this product because peoplefind that it works! With this increase in demand we have also discovered thatour vegetarian customers are requesting a non-chondroitin basedproduct.  Chondroitin is sourced from bovine tracheal cartilage. It's difficult to imagine munching on a cow's neck cartilage, even when groundup into fine powder.

Glucosamine is a naturalsubstance found throughout the human body, especially in cartilage.  It isresponsible for the health and production of cartilage.  Our supply of glucosaminediminishes as we age, leading to the breakdown of cartilage.  Smallamounts of Glucosamine are found in almost everything that we eat. Peopleneed to take in more of this nutrient than they would get in a normal diet tohave a beneficial effect on cartilage. We have added the antioxidant Selenium becausestudies have shown antioxidants may help slow down the degenerative effects ofarthritis and an essential amino acid Methionine which contains sulfur. Methionine, as S-adenosyl-methionine, has been shown to be superior toibuprofen in the treatment of osteoarthritis in a double-blind clinical study.
