What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a condition that refers to the end stages of arthritis, in which the cartilage that makes up bone joints is destroyed, allowing two bones to rub against each other. The result is extreme pain, and it is that pain that most modern arthritis treatments try to alleviate. Our triple strength formula combines Glucosamine,Chondroitin and MSM; 3 important natural compounds that may be the key to healing and regrowth of tissue.

What are Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM?

Glucosamine is found in the body largely in cartilage, and plays an important role in allowing the joints to function as they should. Over time, this connective (protective) tissue deteriorates. As we age, and the abuse on our joints begins to take its toll, it can lead to thinning of cartilage and the onset and progression of osteoarthritis, which can be very painful.

Many of the medications that are currently offered on the market do not offer true relief;they only mask the pain, which is not the case with our triple action Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM

The main components of joint cartilage are chondrocytes, collagen, and proteoglycans. Glucosamine supports the build-up of proteoglycan. Studies show Glucosamine may help maintain cartilage and stimulate growth of cartilage cells.

Chondroitin, in a process involving its attachment to Glucosamine, plays a role in catching and holding water in the cartilage, contributing to its resilience.

MSM (Methyl sulfonyl methane) is a natural source of dietary sulfur. Sulfur plays an especially critical role in maintaining the elasticity and flexibility of the connective tissue that makes up joints.

The 3 components found in Triple Strength work together to support joint health and mobility, contributing to a healthy and active lifestyle. Triple Strength is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Bone/Joint Health.

What do they do?

Past studies show that some people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA) taking either Glucosamine or Chondroitin reported pain relief at a level similar to that of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen.

About Knee Cartilage Damage

Similar to articular cartilage damage, meniscus damage can occur during activities of daily living without specific trauma, or from a trauma that occurs in sport or the work place.

Once there is injury to the meniscal cartilage, the body's response is often pain and swelling. At times, the knee may "lock", "give away", or "go out". The meniscal tear causas the body's weight to be distributed unevenly. As a result of increased stress over time, articular cartilage may break down as well, which can lead to degenerative arthritis.

Cartilage does not have a natural ability to heal, and if left untreated, significant articular defects can progress to a more serious condition, such as osteoarthritis.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

A 2000 study (1) published in the Journal of the I American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that I Glucosamine and Chondroitin, 2 food supplements, do appear to help with symptoms of osteoarthritis.

The authors of the study analyzed 15 prevously published studies on the effects of Glucosamine and Chondroitin on osteoarthritis.

The reason why this study is so important is that it was published in the largest medical journal in the world, JAMA. When JAMA reports that an alternative treatment works, you'd better believe that it works, because they only publish findings which promote natural treatments.

With at least a dozen common calcium preparations and hundreds of different formulations available, choosing a calcium supplement can be confusing. Most calcium supplements contain calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or calcium phosphate. These calcium preparations differ in a number of ways, and research has shown that Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D offers benefits that other calcium sources do not.

Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is Unlike calcium carbonate, (the main ingredient in many other calcium supplements,) Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D does not need stomach acid to be broken down, and has unsurpassed absorption even when it is taken on an empty stomach. The manufacturers of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate supplements recommend that their products be taken with meals in order to be used by the body. Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D can be taken at any time, without or without meals.
Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is ideal for people taking acid-reducing agents such as antacids, H2 antagonists or prescription medications, such as Proton Pump Inhibitors (like Prilosec@*). The ease and efficiency with which our bodies process Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D make it an ideal source of calcium. Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is also a logical choice for older individuals, because acid production decreases with age.

Clinical studies show that postmenopausal women taking Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D maintain the mass and thickness of their bones.
It is also important to know that the makers of osteoporosis treatments such as Premarin@, Fosamax@, Miacalcin@, and Evista@** recommend that women get a calcium intake of 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per day. As a calcium source, Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is a great choice to help maximize the benefits of prescription osteoporosis therapy.
If you have one of the many inflammatory conditions such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, or bowel disease your therapy may include a steroid. Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D highly soluble and has unsurpassed absorption.

Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D works regardless of stomach acid content, which makes it ideal for older people and patients taking acid-reducing agents like Tagamet@, Zantac@,or Pepcid@ AC***.
Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is the right partner for other osteoporosis therapies such as Premarin@, Fosamax@, Miacalcin@,and Evista@**.Calcium is recommended by the manufacturers of all prescription osteoporosis therapies.
Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is the right calcium for patients taking steroids and other drugs that have a negative effect on bone health. Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D reduces the risk of certain types of kidney stone formation.
Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D does not cause gas, bloating or constipation.
Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D can be taken anytime, with or without food. There are no food ingredients in Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D.lt is gluten-free.

Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a role in many of the body's activities. You may already know that calcium helps keep bones and teeth strong, but calcium is essential to the body for many other reasons as well. Research links calcium deficiency to many different diseases. In addition to osteoporosis, adequate calcium intake may reduce the risk for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, pre-eclampsia, colon cancer, obesity, kidney stones, premenstrual syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome.

The following are some of the benefits of adequate Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D intake:

• Healthy and strong bones and teeth
• Prevention of bone loss and osteoporosis

U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona-America's foremost health expert-warned on October 14,2004 that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis, while another 34 million are at risk for developing the bone disease. 'Osteoporosis and other bone diseases,' the accompanying release states, '.. . can lead to a downward health spiral in and
