Purpose/Usage: Thompson's Glucosamine and Chondroitin Joint Food may help to improve damage to joint tissue, and joint degeneration. Its primary use is in the treatment of Osteoarthritis, Gout, Rheumatoid Arthritis and all joint disorders. This supplement may also help in the treatment of joint tissue trauma from accidents, surgery and sports injuries. Athletes may find Glucosamine and Chondroitin useful in preventing tissue damage. The main effect of Glucosamine on joints is to stimulate the manufacture of glycosaminoglycans, which are key structural components of cartilage. Glucosamine also promotes the incorporation of sulphur into cartilage. Some people lose the ability to produce sufficient levels of Glucosamine; this means that the cartilage loses its shock-absorbing gel-like nature, resulting in bone destruction. A summary of the clinical data suggests that Glucosamine not only relieves the symptoms of osteoarthritis but also helps the body repair damaged joints. The longer Glucosamine is used the more obvious the therapeutic benefits. The other structural protein needed for the production of cartilage is Chondroitin. Studies on Chondroitin sulphate have shown that it can stimulate the production of collagen, inhibit the enzymes that destroy cartilage as well as neutralising free radicals that produce inflammation and pain.

Dosage: Adults take one or two tablets a day with food. Glucosamine and Chondroitin can be taken on a long-term basis.
