There are millions of people who suffer from osteoarthritis - a painful condition where the cartilage between joints, which normally acts as a cushion, gradually wears away. The usual course of treatment involves non-steroidals (NSAIDS) and COX-II inhibitors to help control pain and inflammation.

There are millions of people who suffer from osteoarthritis - a painful condition where the cartilage between joints, which normally acts as a cushion, gradually wears away. The usual course of treatment involves non-steroidals (NSAIDS) and COX-II inhibitors to help control pain and inflammation.
But drugs like this carry the risk of unwanted side-effects, which can range from stomach ulcers, liver problems, heart disease, etc. The well-publicised withdrawal of drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex from the pharmaceutical market prove that. And studies have repeatedly shown that long-term use of NSAIDS can in fact exacerbate the degenerative process, rather than slow it down.
So millions of people want a viable alternative to pharmaceutical drugs, that also show promise of having an effect on the symptoms of osteoarthritis, but without the possible side-effects.
Several recent studies have documented a couple of promising compounds: Glucosamine Sulphate does a great job of helping to preserve and restore cartilage tissue. Particularly when taken together with Chondroitin Sulphate, MSM and Vitamin C.
These are all natural substances that can help support the structure and health of cartilage. They also seem to keep the cartilage well-hydrated, which enhances its role as a cushion between the joints. And they have none of the negative side-effects of pharmaceautical drugs.
Although there are a number of supplements available that contain Glucosamine Sulphate, Chondroitin Sulphate and/or MSM, it's best to look for a product that has been formulated to give you the most beneficial amount of each, and in the correct proportions to each other. The optimum dosage is: Glucosamine Sulphate (1500mg); Chondroitin Sulphate (1200mg); MSM (750mg); Vitamin C (250mg) per 120ml (4oz) serving.
The product I recommend (and use personally for my knees and my shoulder) is Forever Freedom. It has the perfect combination of all the ingredients you need, plus it's uniquely blended into an aloe vera drink. So it's easy to take, it gets to work straight away, and you get all the other advantages and benefits of drinking pure aloe vera.
So for an effective and nutritious way to protect yourself against the signs of joint wear-and-tear, give Forever Freedom a go. You'll be glad you did.
