Description
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints and usually affects the hands, the feet, wrists, ankles, knees, hips and spine. Osteoarthritis (or degenerative joint disease) is the most common form of arthritis and is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage, usually in the weight bearing joints of the body (knees, hips, spine). Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the other hand, is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the whole body, especially the joints, and seems to be an autoimmune reaction.
Symptoms for both forms of arthritis include joint stiffness and restricted mobility, local tenderness, swelling, pain and, in the case of RA, severe deformities, especially of the hands and feet.
Treatment options involve enhancing the repair of cartilage and reducing the inflammatory condition.
The formula contains nutrients to address both forms of arthritis. Glucosamine and chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage, which form glycosaminoglycans in the body and help to repair damaged joints. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of sulfur which is needed for the formation of cartilage. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect and, together with the other anti-inflammatory compounds, willow bark extract and feverfew, help to reduce swelling and pain, thereby facilitating the healing process.
The anti-oxidants vitamin C and vitamin E neutralize free radicals which contribute to the inflammatory process. Zinc, copper, manganese and selenium are cofactors for the endogenous anti-oxidant super oxide dismutase (SOD) which also inactivate free radicals and help reduce inflammation. Cetyl myristoleate acts as a lubricant for the joints and also serves as an anti-inflammatory. Other ingredients function as co-factors or co-enzymes and have a synergistic role.

Chronic Back Pain Gone.
After 15 minutes of playing with my daughter, I realized my lower back pain was mostly gone.
I used to be a very active person, participating in sport in high school, horse riding as an adult and enjoying our family holidays to the full. Yet, through it all, my back pain got worse as time went by.
I always experienced some level of back pain, even as young as my teenage years. When my daughter was born, it got worse. Big time. Playing with my daughter become more and more difficult. So did almost everything, from a normal day behind my desk to household chores.
Three months after I started on Advanced Glucosamine Complex, we went to our favorite holiday resort. I took a dosage higher than the bottle suggests – 3 tablets in the morning and 3 in the evening.
At the resort, I usually avoid it to play on the jumping pillow. Occasionally, when I do brave the jumping pillow, sharp pains shoot through my back on every jump.
This time, I decided to endure the normal pain, just to spend some quality time with my daughter. Yet, I was wrong, there was no pain this time. Then after about 15 minutes I got off, because I was tired.
I had no pain!
Now, it’s normal for me to wake up in the morning without pain.
