Every day you engage in physical activity to stay healthy, but all of this activity can take a toll on your joints. Many types of stresses, both physical and biological, can cause increased production of proteins and chemicals associated with cartilage breakdown and reduced joint comfort. A delicate balance of breakdown and replacement of the structural parts of cartilage helps maintain a normal joint. Anything that negatively affects this balance can lead to increased breakdown making the maintenance of healthy cartilage more difficult.

There are many ways to promote your joint health:

• Eating healthy with a balanced diet
• Staying active and maintaining a healthy weight
• Proper exercise to strengthen the joints and muscles and to keep bones healthy
• Visiting your healthcare provider regularly
• Taking your medications as prescribed
• Taking a high quality glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplement

Glucosamine, in combination with chondroitin sulfate, helps inhibit enzymes responsible for the breakdown of cartilage and supports the maintenance of healthy joints.

Recent published clinical studies have further validated the combination of high quality glucosamine/chondroitin supplementation for joint health. It is important to make sure you purchase a high quality glucosamine/chondroitin combination product, and below are some of the items to look for:

• Reputable brand cited in published clinical studies
• Serving size of trademarked active ingredients are the same as used in clinical studies
• Quality seal from third party public health and safety organizations
