Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, Maintaining Healthy Joints
Glucosamine sulfate is a substance found naturally in the body. Glucosamine is composed of the simple carbohydrate (glucose) and the amino acid (glutamine). This amino sugar is used to build a monosaccharide called glycosaminoglycan that is naturally found in cartilage. It is believed Glucosamine Sulfate may provide the body with the necessary materials to replace deteriorated cartilage. In addition, Glucosamine is involved in the formation of nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments, and heart valves. It is a great supplement to help combat both the causes and symptoms of arthritis. According to the Prescription for Nutritional Healing, in over 300 studies and 20 clinical trials Glucosamine has proven to actually build joint cartilage. In an article found in the Arthritis Foundation Archives, people with mild to moderate Osteoarthritis taking either Glucosamine or Chondroitin Sulfate report pain relief similar to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Chondroitin Sulfate is another substance found naturally in the body. It is an important element in the creation of cartilage. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are thought to behave similarly since they are structurally related. Chondroitins are a subgroup of glycosaminoglycans, which attach to proteins such as collagen and elastin forming more complex substances called proteoglycans. The Chondroitin Sulfate attracts water to the proteoglycans, which is a vital part of maintaining healthy joint cartilage. The supplement is usually derived from shark cartilage or cow-trachea cartilage. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate used together are effective in the management of arthritis.
Try Växa's Arthritin, a homeopathic medicinal that offers a natural alternative for arthritis without the long-term use and subsequent dangers of NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) such as common aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and others.
Arthritin ingredients include:
- Complete Glucosamine Structures (N-Acetylglucosamine-NAG, Glucosamine Sulfate, Mixed Glycosaminoglycans plus Glycoproteins) stimulate the synthesis of synovial fluid.

- Mucopolysaccharides (Perna Canaliculous & 100% Pure Shark Cartilage)
- Boswellia Serrata is an ancient aryurvedic that has shown to helps blood supply to the joints and acts.
- DL-Methionine is essential amino acid that acts in concert with Boswellia Serrata to help the body stabilize mast cells and inhibit histamine release, often associated with arthritic pain and discomfort.
- DL-Phenylalanine is free form amino acid aiding in the reduction of pain and inflammation.
- Harpagophytum Procubens shown to contain an effective family of anti-inflammatory agents, actually somewhat comparable to anti-arthritic prescription drugs.
- Capsaicin appears to desensitize sensory receptors on cells, and thus affectively blocks pain signals from being processed.
- Specifically Targeted Micro-Nutritionals
If suffering from gout avoid foods high in purines and high proteins such as beans and meats. In general avoid red meats, tomatoes, tea, coffee, dairy products, fried foods, chocolate, preservatives and additives. Medical Literature contains and many documented cases indicate how diet modification can improve inflammatory arthritis. Try altering your diet and see if you notice improvement.
