| • | Osteoarthritis is the most common type of joint disease that mostly occurs in older persons. It is characterized by long term deterioration of the cartilage of the joints. |
| • | It is sometime also called as Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD). This condition is usually thought of as a permanent and gradually worsening form of arthritis that affects most of the individuals as they age. Glucosamine sulfate supplements will help in relieving the pain as well as improve the mobility. |
| • | The ends of the bones that come together and form a joint are called articulating surfaces of the bones. These articulating surfaces are covered in articular cartilage forming a cavity that is filled with the synovial fluid (joint oil). These articular cartilages are smooth and the amount of synovial fluid is sufficient enough to provide high quality of lubrication to the joints. |
| • | Articular cartilages get affected by the process of aging because they have poor power to regenerate. Because of the poor blood supply to the area, the delicate balance between wear and renewal can be easily upset that leads to the progressive deterioration of joints. This condition is mostly present in older individuals because body cannot produce enough glucosamine to keep up the rate of repair and renewal that would be necessary. |
| • | The natural process of repair and renewal of damage is speed up inside the body when taking additional glucosamine sulfate and Chondroitin supplementation helps in neutralizing the destructive enzymes and also improves the quality of synovial fluid. And combine supplementation of glucosamine and chondroitin will be the most effective one because both of these are the naturally occurring essential substances. |
