Joint Care Supplements
Most joint pain is caused by damage to connective tissue:
ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and joint capsules. Before
you consider surgical remedies, recent studies have
shown excellent results with natural supplements taken
as an arthritis preventive treatment. Whilst these supplements
will not reverse damage already done, they have proven
effective in reducing the pain and preventing or slowing
down further damage.
Joint care supplements work by helping to lubricate
the joint and prevent the breakdown of cushioning joint
cartilage. There are two primary product ingredients
that provide the most effect: glucosamine and chondroitin.
These two ingredients can be found in a number of nutritional
supplements, depending upon the source:
Regardless of the type or source of glucosamine,
chondroitin, any nutritional
product should be selected with care. Products which
essential change the body at cellular level require
FDA approval. Many others, that do not impact the body
at cell level are sold without regulation.
How to Select a Top Quality Joint Care Supplement
To ensure that you select the best joint care products
available check:
- the quality of raw materials purchased
- the level of manufacturing sophistication
- the purity and potency of dietary supplements that
support joint health
- read labels and seek physician recommendation
- the product package provides contact information.
Contact the manufacturer if you have any questions.
Be wary if they don’t supply contact information.
Dietary supplements that support joint health can
cost a bit more than other supplements and product quality
does vary significantly, so shop carefully and choose
a product with confidence.
Quantity of Ingredients
Most studies have shown benefits of glucosamine
and chondroitin when used
in quantities of 1,500 mg and 1,200 mg respectively.
Some studies on chondroitin indicate effectiveness in
amounts as small as 800 mg. Choose a product with at
least 800 mg of chondroitin.
Quality of Ingredients
Some companies charge less for their product because
they purchase cheaper inferior raw materials. Spending
less is not good value if the product is ineffective.
Manufacturing Process
Good manufacturing practice incorporate strict quality
control systems. This mean they test their raw materials
upon receipt, and retest multiple times during the manufacturing
process to be sure that the final product contains exactly
what is listed on the label. Independent laboratories
monitor their facilities and randomly test finished
products to a strict quality specification.
Doctor Recommendation
Many physicians are embracing the role of dietary
supplements in primary health care. They may be able
to guide you to a trusted product and may even have
samples or discount coupons. It's always a good practice
to consult with your physician before using any dietary
supplement, and essential if you are on medications.
Other Joint Care Product Ingredients
Whilst glucosamine and
chondroitin are the primary
ingredients in joint care formulas, other ingredients
also support joint health or work to enhance the assimilation
of glucosamine and chondroitin. These include:
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) - an organic
sulphur essential in the formation of collagen, connective
tissue, and healthy joint cartilage.
Boswellia Serrata - also known as
Indian frankincense, in combination with other ingredients,
can improve joint comfort.
