High Potency Formula for Healthy Joints (Glucosamine and Chrondroitin Sulfate)
Scientifically Formulated by Physicians
Label Accuracy Guaranteed
The combination of 1500mg Glucosamine and 1200mg Chondroitin Sulfate that is provided in JOINT CARE is the same combination that was used in the ground breaking US National Institute of Health, "GAIT" study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. "GAIT"showed the effectiveness of this combination in treating the symptoms of degenerative arthritis. It slows the progression of cartilage deterioration, reduces joint pain, and protects cartilage cells from breakdown.*
JOINT CARE helps maintain joint flexibility with ingredients that are 100% accurate, safe, effective and easily absorbed. This product needs to be taken daily for at least 6 months to obtain maximum results.
When should I start taking JOINT CARE?
JOINT CARE is more effective when used in the early stages of joint deterioration. Early action is always the best advice. If you notice changes in flexibility of joint function it is best to see your doctor. JOINT CARE can be used before the onset of joint pain and stiffness. For those who exercise daily or strenuously and are not experiencing joint pain and stiffness, JOINT CARE may be taken to maintain optimal joint health.
How should I take JOINT CARE?
Three (3) capsules daily with food.
How long do I need to take JOINT CARE before it begins to work?
Joint Care needs to be taken for a minimum of 3-6 months, based on the GAIT Study to obtain the maximum health benefits. Like brushing your teeth, it needs to be taken daily.
Why is JOINT CARE better then what I can buy at local retailers for less?
JOINT CARE lives up to 100 percent of its label claims and provides the exact formula determined to be effective by the GAIT study (see below). Many over the counter brands do not contain the correct formula for maximum health benefits or the labels are just not accurate. JOINT CARE is 100% guaranteed accurate and endorsed by Orthopaedic Surgeons.
It is important to understand that most, if not all, low cost products fail to live up to their label claims. You could be spending money with no positive results because it does not contain the key ingredients and the maximum amounts to be effective.
Arthritis Joint supplements often come up short

If the bottle of supplements you bought to help ease arthritis pain hasn't helped, the reason might be that the pills don't contain the ingredients they're supposed to.
All the problems popped up among products that claimed to contain chondroitin, a key-and pricey-ingredient. Of 11 such brands, eight came up short on the substance, which is purported to inhibit enzymes that break down the cartilage in joints.
For instance, Nature's Plus Ultra Maximum Strength Chondroitin 600, which touts "highest quality" chondroitin , turned out to have no chondroitin at all.
What is the Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT)?
GAIT is the first large-scale, multi-center clinical trial in the United States to test the effects of the dietary supplements glucosamine hydrochloride (glucosamine) and sodium chondroitin sulfate (chondroitin sulfate) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The study tested whether glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate used separately or in combination reduced pain in participants with knee osteoarthritis. The University of Utah, School of Medicine coordinated this study, which was conducted at 16 rheumatology research centers across the United States. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), two components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), funded GAIT.
GAIT RESULTS:
"For participants in the moderate to-severe-pain sub group, Chondroitin Sulfate combined with Glucosamine provided statistically significant pain relief compared to the placebo group. This rigorous, large-scale study showed that the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate appeared to help people with moderate to severe pain from knee osteoarthritis."
Who Should Consider Glucosamine + Chondroitin?
Anyone who is experiencing Osteoarthritis joint-associated pain, including:
- Knee joint pain;
- Elbow joint pain;
- Finger, joint pain;
- Hip related pain;
- Other related joint/cartilage pain stemming from Osteoarthritis.
Why Glucosamine + Chondroitin:
To slow the progression of osteoarthritis (the deterioration of cartilage between joint bones), to reduce the associated arthritis pain, and to help revitalize the cellular components within the joints. Glucosamine promotes the formation and repair of cartilage. Chondroitin promotes water retention and elasticity in cartilage, and inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage.
Why is JOINT CARE effective?
The two main ingredients in JOINT CARE, chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, stimulate the production of cartilage. In younger, healthier individuals cartilage cells would normally accomplish this task. However, as one ages, cartilage cells die off and are not replaced. This starts a cycle of destruction in the cartilage. There are also enzymes present that degrade cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride stimulates cartilage production, while chondroitin sulfate inhibits the enzymes that break down cartilage.
Glucosamine and chondroitin help to form the proteoglycans that sit within the spaces in the cartilage "netting." Chondroitin acts like a magnet and helps attract fluid into the proteoglycan molecules. This fluid acts like a shock absorber and brings nutrients into the cartilage. Joint cartilage has no blood supply, so all of its nourishment and lubrication comes from the liquid that ebbs and flows as pressure to the joint is applied and released. Without this fluid, the cartilage can become malnourished, drier, thinner and more fragile. This combination has been shown in several clinical studies to ease discomfort in those suffering from joint pain. These studies show that there is a safe and natural alternative that is better for the body that NSAIDS such as ibuprofen and aspirin.
What is joint cartilage?
Cartilage is a slippery, cushion-like tissue produced and maintained by its own specialized cells. When you do even the simplest everyday activities, there is tremendous pressure on your joints. Cartilage between your bones, joint fluid and connective tissue work together like a shock absorber. This allows flexible joint function.
Why does cartilage break down?
There are many factors that lead to cartilage breakdown: age, inactivity, excess weight, over- activity, injury, and genetics. Cartilage lacks a direct blood supply. It relies on nutrients found in the joint fluid to nourish cartilage cells and maintain its structure. When this process is affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above, cartilage can deteriorate to the point where it can no longer provide sufficient joint protection.

JOINT CARE is more effective when used in the early stages of joint deterioration. Early action is always the best advice. If you notice changes in flexibility of joint function it is best to see your doctor. JOINT CARE can be used before the onset of joint pain and stiffness.

Who should not take JOINT CARE?
People who have shellfish allergies should consult with their doctors before taking glucosamine. Taking chondroitin sulfate in addition to blood thinning medication may necessitate more frequent checks of blood clotting time.
Children, women who are pregnant, and women who could become pregnant should not take these supplements. People with diabetes should check their blood sugar levels more frequently when taking this supplement.
Taking Chrondroitin sulfate in addition to blood thinning medication may necessitate more frequent checks of blood clotting time.
Shellfish allergy is usually not a problem, but check with your doctor before taking glucosamine.
