Glucosamine ChondroitinLast update: August 1, 2000
Among people over 40 years old, arthritis is very common.
15 out of every 100 people are suffering from arthritis. Unfortunately, apart from
taking steroids and NSAIDs which have many side effects, it is very difficult to cure
arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by the wear and tear and deterioration of the
joints. Athletes, typists, and people who do a lot of physical work are vulnerable
to arthritis when they get older. Rejuveno Glucosamine
Chondroitin contains six active ingredients: glucosamine
sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, shark cartilage, bromelain, Devil's Claw, and sea
cucumber. It is made in Canada under the
highest quality control standards and supervised by Rejuveno's scientists. Glucosamine is an essential raw
material for the growth and repair of joint tissue. It
has very good anti-inflammatory and pain reduction properties. It helps synthesize collagen. According to clinical studies done by European
doctors, supplementation with glucosamine for two months reduces arthritis pain more than
the common pain killers and produces a more long-lasting effect. But there is no side effect. The human body can produce glucosamine during
youth, but the production decreases with age, so that joints can no longer be restored to
normal after an injury, and deteriorate. It
is very hard to get enough glucosamine from our diet.
So it is necessary to supplement our diet with glucosamine after middle age to halt
the deterioration of our joints. Chondroitin is the main
component of cartilage tissue. It gives
cartilage the ability to absorb shock, and attracts fluids and nutrients towards the
cartilage. As we grow older, our body cannot
produce enough chondroitin, so our joints harden and often suffer from osteoarthritis. In our normal diet chondroitin is rare, so it is
necessary to supplement with chondroitin sulfate. Chondroitin
can inhibit enzymes which destroy the cartilage and other enzymes which prevent the
transportation of nutrients to cartilage. When
glucosamine is taken together with chondroitin, there is a synergistic effect. However, chondroitin is a huge molecule which is
difficult to absorb. It is necessary to break
it down with the enzyme bromelain. Bromelain is a protease, an
enzyme which breaks down proteins. It helps
digest and absorb chondroitin. It has
anti-inflammatory properties especially good for preventing inflammation after sports
injuries, and helps speed up healing of the injury. Its
potency is expressed in terms of Gelatin Digesting Units (GDU). Rejuveno Glucosamine Chondroitin contains
bromelain at the ultra strength of 1,000GDU. Shark cartilage can effectively
prevent the growth of new blood vessels which invade and destroy our cartilage tissues. Clinical studies have shown that shark cartilage
is effective against about 70% of all arthritis cases. Devil's Claw is an herb which
is often used in arthritis formulas. It
contains Harpagosides which significantly reduce inflammation and dissolve excess calcium
deposits. Africans and Europeans have been
using it as a cure for over 250 years. Devil's
Claw is mainly used as an anti-inflammation agent and analgesic specific for arthritis and
rheumatism. Recently, researchers in France
and Germany have pointed out that Devil's Claw has properties similar to cortisone and
prednisone, and can increase elasticity of the joints. Sea cucumber contains natural
chondroitin. A massive amount of research
data on sea cucumber is available. It
contains substances which inhibit the coagulation of blood. Active
Ingredients: Each 750mg capsule contains 250mg
glucosamine sulfate, 250mg high-purity (90%) chondroitin sulfate, 90mg shark cartilage,
80mg high-potency (1,000GDU) bromelain, 40mg Devil's Claw, and 40mg sea cucumber. Main Benefits: Repair of cartilage, reduction of
arthritis pain, and the prevention of osteoarthritis. Packing: Each bottle contains 60 capsules of 750mg
each. Suggested Usage: For health maintenance, take one
capsule twice per day before meals. For those
with special needs, the dosage can be increased to 2-3 capsules three times per day.
