Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are two
natural substances that are found in normal joint tissue. These two
substances are the foundation for the natural arthritis program recommended
by Jason Theodosakis, M.D., M.S., M.P.H. in his best selling book, The
Arthritis Cure. According to Dr. Theodosakis, glucosamine and
chondroitin sulfate, when added to your regular diet in supplemental form,
have been shown to reverse damage in joint cartilage and have produced
tremendous results in reducing the pain and discomfort caused by arthritis.
JointRenew contains 500 mg. of 100% pure cyrstalline Glucosamine
Sulfate and 400 mg. of 100% pure Chondroitin Sulfate per dosage. These are
the highest quality pharmaceutical grade ingredients on the market and the
perfect 5:4 ratio of glucosamine to chondroitin. In addition, JointRenew
also contains 900 mg. Collagen, which is a naturally occurring source for
both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates. Collagen (protein) is essential
for the growth and development of all body tissue, and is especially
important for healthy cartilage. Other essential ingredients include 500 mg.
V-C (which is essential for proper assimilation of glucosamine and
chondroitin), 100 mg. Calcium, and 20 mg. Zinc.
You should also know that JointRenew is the only
combination product on the market with high potency collagen, which gives
you increased amounts of "natural" glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin
sulfate. You will get better results from taking JointRenew with collagen
than you will by taking a simple combination product that only contains
glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates. Not only does this combination
makes JointRenew the most effective product available today, you will find
our prices to be among the lowest on the market.
When taking JointRenew, some people notice an effect within a few
days, while others may have to wait up to eight weeks. In rare cases, three
to four months are needed to notice an effect. Directions for use: take 4
capsules per day; two capsules with meals 2 times daily. It is recommended
that you take this and most other nutritional supplementation at least 30
minutes before or after any prescriptions.
Using JointRenew with anti-inflammatory pills (NSAIDS) is safe and
can in fact be helpful. Evidence suggests that using glucosamine counteracts
the normal decrease in proteoglycan (cartilage) synthesis associated with
the use of some NSAIDS. Fortunately, most patients are able to stop using
their NSAIDs after taking glucosamine and chondroitin for two to eight
weeks. Some who have been taking NSAIDs for decades have been able to get
off them completely. Other factors that can positively contribute to your
joint health are proper nutrition and a healthy diet, slimming down to your
ideal body weight, avoiding depression and actively treating it should it
exist.
Who is a Good Candidate to Take Joint Renew?
The conditions that show the greatest response are rheumatoid arthritis
and osteoarthritis. If you have grown weary of traditional prescriptions,
and their negative side effects that only cover up symptoms and neglect to
treat the root cause, then you are an excellent candidate to begin a program
of JointRenew. The human body is an amazing organism that constantly
strives to attain a state of balance or equilibrium. In the appropriate
environment, with the proper building blocks, the human body can rebuild
lost cartilage.
Remember, it took many years for your body to get to the state of pain
that it is currently in. This product is not a "quick-fix" anti-inflammatory
or pain killer that neglects or ignores the underlying cause, it is an all
natural, nontoxic nutriceutical that helps your body heal itself. What you
will notice first is a decrease in pain, and an increase in mobility.
Why Cartilage Fails
Cartilage has two key structural components: very strong collagen fibers
which are made of protein, and a reinforced gel, which is made of
proteoglycans (actually chondroitin sulfate molecules) which weave through
the collagen fibers in every direction, and water, which fills up the space
in between. The collagen and the proteoglycans are manufactured by cells
called chondrocytes (which also contain chondroitin sulfate) scattered about
the cartilage matrix, they also dispose of worn out collagen and
proteoglycans. Free-floating chondroitin sulfate, with its sulfur atoms,
grab nutrients for the chondrocytes. Since cartilage does not have a network
of blood vessels to bring in oxygen and nutrients and carry away waste
products, it depends on the steady ebb and flow of fluid for nourishment and
cleansing.
Repeated stress to a joint can weaken or damage cartilage, leading to
discomfort and reduced mobility. Cartilage repairs itself very slowly, due
to poor nutrient supply and the fact that joints are seldom given the time
to rest. The abnormal buildup of free radicals from many causes, including
diet, inflammation and infection, triggers release of excess enzymes that
break cartilage down, and inhibits production of proteoglycans and
chondroitin sulfate.
What does Glucosamine do?
Glucosamine sulfate, made up of sugar and an amino acid, makes up 50% of
hyaluronic acid, which is the “base” of the proteoglycans, and also is a key
factor in stimulating the chondrocytes to produce new collagen,
proteoglycans and chondroitin sulfate to replace the old. It is the starting
point for the synthesis of many important macro-molecules that make up many
of the body's tissues. A deficiency of glucosamine can reduce the rate of
production of these important macromolecules thereby leading to specific
tissue weakness. In certain cases of trauma to the tissues, the amount of
glucosamine normally synthesized by the body is insufficient. The tissues
containing these glucosamine macromolecules include tendons and ligaments,
cartilage, synovial fluid, mucus membranes, several structures in the eye,
blood vessels, and heart valves. Glucosamine helps to reduce pain and
improve joint function in those afflicted with osteoarthritis. It has also
been shown to inhibit at least two of the enzymes that degrade cartilage and
has certain anti-reactive properties. This means that glucosamine actually
blunts the damaging effects of certain chemicals on the cartilage in joints.
Supplements of glucosamine sulfate may help to restore normal chondrocyte
metabolism, which in turn may facilitate reversing cartilage breakdown and
reducing pain. Glucosamine sulfate can increase the chance for positive
results in a short period of time for a variety of problems including:
breakdown and inflammation of the synovial fluids, damage to the tissues,
ligaments and muscles, inflamed disc and sciatica nerve, inflamed joints
associated with aging, loss of elasticity in the invertebral discs.
Glucosamine vs. Traditional Treatments
Improvements occur more slowly with glucosamine sulfate than with
over-the-counter arthritis medications (NSAIDs), but eventually glucosamine
overtakes the NSAIDs in terms of effectiveness. In one study that compared
glucosamine sulfate to ibuprofen, pain scores decreased faster in the first
two weeks in the ibuprofen group, however, by the fourth week of the study,
the group receiving the glucosamine sulfate was doing significantly better
than the ibuprofen group. In another study 30 patients with osteoarthritis
were divided into two groups, half received glucosamine sulfate, while the
control group received a traditional arthritic drug formula. Both groups
showed improvement in the early stages of the study, with the glucosamine
sulfate group improving to a significantly greater extent after the first
several weeks. By the end of the study, the control group using the
arthritis formula reverted almost to pretreatment levels. In addition,
glucosamine sulfate is virtually free of side effects, there are no known
contra-indications, it is readily absorbed from the intestines, stays in the
blood for several hours and very little is excreted. In contrast,
conventional arthritis medications can cause relatively severe side effects.
Current medical treatment for osteoarthritis simply suppresses symptoms, and
since it does not address the underlying causes, it actually promotes the
disease process.
