The Best Recommendation - Joint Health
About 21 million adults have osteoarthritis—a degenerative joint condition resulting in the loss of cartilage that covers and cushions the joints.
This leads to achy joints and could ultimately require a corrective surgical procedure, such as hip or knee replacement. Though joint pain and discomfort are typically associated with people of advancing years, athletes involved in high impact training, such as runners, are also affected and are at high risk for osteoarthritis later in life.
The condition also appears to have a hereditary component so even the weekend warrior and the couch potato could be affected by joint pain and discomfort.
Supplements to consider:
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are important contributors to joint health.
There is a strong body of human clinical trials that supports the safe use of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, or their combination for significant and long-lasting decreases in joint pain and improvements in mobility.
