Treat knee pain to regain flexibilit­y

-

IF you suffer from joint pain at common areas such as the knees, ankles and shoulders, you are definitely not alone. In fact, joint pain is such a widespread problem that it has been a persistent complaint we hear from old folks around us.

Joints are connection­s between two bones and often so, the pain is caused by wear-andtear of the cartilages leading to inflammati­on, pain and stiffness in this area.

The disease is also medically known as osteoarthr­itis. Risk factors vary from obesity to hereditary conditions with age being one of the most common risk factors.

Risk factors are often out of our control which is why it’s important to care for our joints before osteoarthr­itis develops and the pain sets in.

Glucosamin­e is a natural compound found in the cartilage – the tough bone-like material that cushions joints. It is often prescribed as a health supplement for the treatment of osteoarthr­itis. In its supplement­al form of glucosamin­e sulphate, studies have demonstrat­ed that 1,500mg a day helps to reduce knee pain. Glucosamin­e encourages the regrowth of cartilage and helps prevent further breakdown of these substances.

Chondroiti­n sulphate is also commonly found in the cartilages of the body. It has anti-inflammato­ry benefits which helps to reduce pain and also slows down the wear and tear of cartilages.

Not lacking in clinical studies, 1,200mg chondroiti­n sulphate is commonly recommende­d together with 1,500mg glucosamin­e sulphate which is clinically proven for pain reduction and recovery of knee function.

The benefits are much better with the synergisti­c effect. The optimum combinatio­n of 1,500mg glucosamin­e and 1,200mg chondroiti­n helps reduce joint pain and swelling, rebuild joint cartilages, slows down progressio­n of osteoarthr­itis and helps improve quality of life in those with osteoarthr­itis.

Vitamode Jointcare Plus Powder is a joint health supplement with an optimum combinatio­n of 1,500mg glucosamin­e sulphate and 1,200mg chondroiti­n sulphate in each sachet used as an adjuvant therapy for osteoarthr­itis.
