Glucosamine AJF (Advanced Joint Formula) is a
special formulation of several natural ingredients that have been found to
contribute to joint health. Glucosamine stimulates the body's manufacture of
collagen, the protein portion of the fibrous substance that holds joints
together and provides shock-absorbing cushion. Chondroitin sulfate is
synergistic with glucosamine. The combination is a popular and
well-established nutritional formula that millions of people have found to be
a beneficial addition to their supplement programs. Devil's claw and shark
cartilage extract have also been added. Glucosamine AJF is an exclusive
formula and the perfect product to help nourish the skeletal system!
It's common practice to take for granted how
the body accomplishes the demands we place on it until the day that extreme
discomfort forces you to evaluate and measure each movement and position. As a
person ages, the cartilage that cushions the joints often loses its ability to
support healthy cellular growth. In addition, the synovial fluid which
lubricates these joints also deteriorates. This condition, called
osteoarthritis, often leads to rough bones that rub together and cause
distress with every twist or bend. Over time, the only option you have is to
use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These preparations may
cause side effects like slowing down the body's rate of cartilage replacement
and actually destroying cartilage.
Other side effects include: gastrointestinal
tract damage, hemorrhaging, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), edema (fluid
retention) and sometimes kidney and liver damage. After these products no
longer are effective, you can choose to: 1) live with it or 2) undergo radical
medical procedures like joint replacement surgery. This is where an orthopedic
surgeon replaces your hip or knee with a metal one. The procedure is
complicated and the recovery time extensive.
A Word of Caution
Many
reports have now shown that if you are taking the anticoagulant Warfarin
you should not take this nutritional supplement without talking to your
Doctor. The combination of Warfarin and chondroitin has been linked to
increased bleeding times and glucosamine plus Warfarin may also act as an
anti-platelet substance. I do NOT recommend this product for anyone who must
take a blood thinner. In all other settings it appears safe and is a good
supplement to use for osteoarthritis.
