Do your joints make you feel all frozen up and stiff like the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz? Do you suffer from joint pain, inflammation and arthritis? Are your joint pains making it difficult to lead an active, productive life?
Joint inflammation can be result as of aging, too much exercise or overtraining, sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, injury and inherited diseases. Arthritis and inflammation breaks down the cartilage that provides a cushion for your bones in your joints, causing the bones to rub against each other. This results in the joint pain, redness swelling, stiffness and tender joints so often seen in patients who suffer from joint disease.
Because conventional medicine has no cure for arthritis, short of joint replacement surgery, most sufferers are given prescription drugs to manage pain and inflammation. But repeated use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as Advil, Tylenol and Aspirin can have severe side effects. They have been known to damage the kidneys, liver and stomach.
The use of oral supplements that are intended to support joint health has become very popular for relief of the symptoms of degenerative joint disease (DJD) in people and animals.
