Glucosamine Chondroitin 500 mg is a natural approach to treating and impeding the progression of OA. Glucosamine is thought to be even more effective for relieving the pain and inflammation of arthritis than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).5 In fact, while NSAIDs provide pain relief from OA, they do not address the fundamental problem of cartilage loss, and can also have serious side effects, such as internal bleeding or liver failure, with long-term use. Glucosamine Chondroitin is a bioconcentrated, highly absorbable complex of natural, active compounds that prolong health, vitality and strength of joints, bones, and cartilage compromised by age, osteoarthritis or sports injuries.
