What is osteoarthritis?

Cartilage is a connective tissue that covers the ends of the bones in the joints and forms a firm cushioning between the bones. Healthy cartilage absorbs the shock of physical movement and allows the bones to move smoothly over each other. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage becomes brittle and begins to wear away, allowing the bones to rub together leading to symptoms of pain, inflammation and stiffness of the joints that many people with osteoarthritis experience.

Symptoms can range from mild stiffness to severe pain and limitation of movement, with elderly people being most at risk of suffering symptoms due to years of wear and tear on the joints. Other factors that may increase the risk of osteoarthritis are injury or overuse of a joint such as that caused by physical labour and sports, joint abnormalities and obesity.

Glucosamine and chondroitin an alternative treatment for Osteoarthritis

Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are naturally occurring substances that are found in the joint cartilage and are required to strengthen, cushion and protect the cartilage. Many clinical trials have displayed the effectiveness of glucosamine and chondroitin in significantly decreasing the pain of osteoarthritis and assist in the management of the disease.
