Osteoarthritis、 the wearing away of the cartilage in the joints、 is the leading cause of pain and disability. Glucosamine helps to build and repair cartilage - reducing joint pain and improving ease of movement.

RESULTS of study: Highest Reduction in Pain for MODERATE to SEVERE OSTEOARTHRITIS was seen in those taking Glucosamine + Chondroitin Combination.
