Bone & Joint Health
More than 45 million Americans currently suffer the aches and pains associated with arthritic conditions, with a similar number afflicted by the bone loss and fractures of osteoporosis.

INFLAMMATORY RELIEF - ARTHRITIS AND JOINT INFLAMMATION
Another sugar, glucosamine, is the basis for many natural products that alleviate arthritis and inflammation. Jarrow Formulas (Los Angeles) produces a glucosamine based headache relief product called Glucosamine HCI Mega 1000. Derived from shellfish, glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar synthesized in the body from L glutamine and glucose. Amino sugars are key components of larger compounds called glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins, necessary for the maintenance of connective tissues and lubricating fluids in the body.
